5. Calorie counting
Calories in – calories out. That’s the only rule that works for sure. If you consume more calories than you burn, you are sure to gain weight. You can do a few things in order to consume the right amount of calories without making notes and calculating the food you consumed during the party. Healthy food can also be tasty. Include foods from the most important food groups to provide your body with all necessary minerals, nutrients and vitamins. This approach is better than calorie counting. Include lean meat, poultry, fish and low-fat milk product in your menu. Eat more vegetables and do not overindulge in fruits because they have sugars that might spike your hunger. Sometimes add nuts and seeds. Do not avoid olive oil either since all these products have low GI and are good for your health.
