Do’s and don’ts in a diet

Eat fiber. We digest protein more slowly than carbohydrates and fat, so it takes fewer calories to fill you up.

 

DON'T miss out on sleep. Recent studies show that sleep deprivation can make you fatter. When you don’t get enough sleep, your body produces more ghrelin, a hormone that makes you hungry, and less leptin, a   hormone that increases satiety.      

                                                                                                  

Learn to Love Vegetables.  Vegetables fill you up without filling you out.

 

DON'T eat standing up. When you eat only in a particular place, your brain doesn’t associate other places with food, and the bodily signals that stimulate appetite are activated less frequently. 

 

Before You Dine Out, Eat In. Try eating some nuts before leaving the house; the protein helps control your appetite.

 

DON'T eat in the dark. In the light you feel more embarrassed if others watch what you eat. Also, you can’t see your food and how much you’re eating.
