Signs that your Weight Loss is Permanent

24 Signs that your Weight Loss is Permanent:

1. You read labels of food products before putting them into your cart at the supermarkets:
Don’t believe what front labels of food products say! They often have “catchy words” printed on them which would lure you to pick them up. Let go of “sugar free” products, they are most often loaded with artificial sweeteners which do no good either. For example, high-sugar processed breakfast cereals like whole-grain, choco puffs are termed healthy by their manufactures. Regardless of their front labels, these breakfast items are not at all healthy! A simple breakfast cooked at home like Indian porridge (Dalia), overnight rolled oats, idli, poha are far more better and healthier options to consider. Read the ingredient list to weed out all added sugar, color, and everything that is not natural. Muesli with added sugar and dehydrated fruits coated with artificial colors cannot be considered healthy, right? Here’s how you can read labels of food products.

2. You have completely cut down on transfat:
Transfat is extremely toxic for your health and transfat will prevent you from losing weight. Transfat is artificially made from vegetable oils by a process called hydrogenation where hydrogen molecules are added to the oil. This is done to increase the shelf life of the oil, to solidy the oil, and make it more appetizing and suitable for frying. Once you have learnt about the harmful effects of transfat, you cut them out completely, and your weight loss will be permanent because it’s one of the major changes that you made in your life.

3. You are not interested in crash dieting anymore:
You have realized that losing weight through crash dieting is not sustainable anymore, and that’s why you are following programs on Rati Beauty instead to lose weight without compromising on nutrition. Crash diets dip down your metabolism and you would hardly lose any weight after the initial 5 kg. Crash dieting is usually restrictive and cause a lot of health problems. Crash dieting may lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies, fatigue, and dizziness. Crash diet will only achieve short-term goals, and once you come out of such diets, you would regain everything and even more. So crash dieting is not at all realistic.

4. You no longer make frequent trips to the refrigerator to pick up a snack:

“Low fat and fat free” can actually make your health worse. For decades now, we have been made to believe that all “fats” are bad and can make you obese, raise cholesterol levels, lead to stroke and heart disease, and cause a lot of other disorders in the body, but in reality, “fat” has been made the villain through wrong research results. In fact, to lose weight and to lead a healthy life in general, you should consume the recommended intake of “good fat.” In this post, we will find out why low fat and fat free products are not good for weight loss.
