Now a days most of us have become diet conscious and concerned about body weight and health. Today, I would like to share a few tips with that I know. It may help you to consume less calories and improve your health.

• Rice: Instead of steam cooking the rice, add raw rice to boiling water (measurement- 1:2 ½), wait till the rice is cooked and drain the starch (excess water). This way you will consume less carbohydrate. This is just like in the olden days.
• Papad/Indian flatbread: Try to make papad in oven which will be tasty and oil free. Microwave the papad for 1 minute.
  
• Almonds: Soak about 4 to 5 almonds in water overnight and eat it early in the morning. They are a good source of protein and are high in antioxidants, magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron as well as vitaminE.
• Egg: Yellow part of egg contains more cholesterol. So try to avoid using it often. you can make omelet with egg white which is rich in protein.
• Salads are one of the best foods for losing weight. In fact it helps you to lose weight fast. The problem is the dressing. People often add sauces or creams to add taste to the bland food. For example, take Mayonnaise which is a common addition to salads. It is very high in calories and fat and a salad with too much of it can be just as high in calories than some of the worst weight loss foods.
• It is believed that the protein content that you take along with your meal helps you to consume less calories than those of low fat diet.
