How can I get to my healthy weight and keep consuming my favorite food? 

Therefore, I altered the way I ate and not what I ate. 

I must say you can shed pounds while enjoying your flavours that you love, if you eat consciously.

Instead of going in for any trending diet plans it is better to focus on changing and not replacing any current food habits. This realistic approach helps to develop a feasible lifestyle to achieve and sustain healthiest weight. And the best part is, you can still enjoy your favourite eateries. Here’s how you can do it:.

01. Enjoy balanced portions of everything:

05. Eat Snacks:

Eating light yet tummy filling snacks will help you between meals as you aim to control your size of food.

As veggies are low on calories yet high in flavor and fiber, they fill you up According to U.S. Dietary guidelines  healthy diet is always high in veggies. They also help control heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension.

For a dinner, try to prepare a small portion of protein rich food and include some vegetables.
