Lifestyle News Desk: When it comes to weight loss, the first thing that comes to our mind is dieting. Let us tell you that dieting does not mean staying hungry but making some changes in your eating habits. Experts also believe that 70 percent of our weight loss depends on our eating habits. Now we all know that the biggest companion of this dieting is salad. If you want to diet then you will have to eat salad. But do you know that there is a way to eat salad also? If salad is not eaten properly then instead of losing weight, you may have to face demotivation in losing weight.
Eating only salad is not a good option
There is no doubt that eating salad is very beneficial for our health. But many times while eating salad we forget that excess of anything is not good. This also applies to salad. Salad should always be eaten as a side dish. That means you can take a portion of salad with your meal, there is no need to replace the entire meal with salad.
The most important thing is what is in the salad?
Many times we eat salad but it contains so many calories that it is better to eat something else. Especially the salads available in big restaurants contain so much fat and oil that it seems dishonest to even call it a salad. Even at home, some people, while making salad, add so much olive oil, cheese, potatoes, cream etc. in it that it is meaningless to even think about losing weight by eating it.
20×20 formula is effective
According to Ayurveda, eating salad about 20 minutes before eating is most effective for weight loss. According to Ayurveda, we should never eat raw and cooked food together. Therefore, a plate of salad can be eaten twenty minutes before eating. Try to chew it for about 20 minutes. It is said that chewing food for 20 minutes signals our brain that we have eaten enough. After this we do not feel hungry to eat more, which helps in weight loss.
One plate of salad in the morning and hunger disappears for the whole day
Although salad can be eaten anytime, eating a plate of salad in the morning makes you feel full throughout the day. This also curbs our habit of eating something again and again. This is not only a very good habit for our overall health but is also very helpful in weight loss.
