Yog Asanas For Weight Loss

Our most important guide to eating healthy while at a party is the plate method. Think of the plate method as a blueprint for your meal.

Hey guys this is Yogi And welcome to my blog @ yogikhongsai.com,Today I will tell some different method to measure your food intake,its so simple and so easy you don't need to note too much of un-necessary material.

Make half of your plate vegetables, either a salad or a cooked vegetable dish. Reserve a quarter of the plate for any protein main dishes, and lastly, leave a quarter of the plate for carbs like rice, noodles, or potato-based dishes.

One other piece of advice is to make your plate as colorful as possible. Eat a rainbow of fruits and vegetables, Let's break down the plate method and go into servings, portion control, and serving sizes.

First, fill half of your plate with vegetables, this could be salad or cooked leafy vegetables. These are the foods that are highest in fiber and lowest in calories and typically highest in vitamins and minerals.

Then, fill a quarter of your plate with your main entree. These typically include the foods highest in protein and fat. Examples would be chicken adobo, menudo, and lumpia. Try to minimize the amount of fried foods as well.

Finally, fill only one quarter of your plate with carbohydrates, like rice, noodles, or potatoes. Fruits and starchy vegetables like peas, corn, and cassava are also carbohydrates.

It's harder to get full of carbohydrates, so if you load up on carbohydrates you may end up eating more calories total than if you had a more balanced and healthy plate. Also, don't forget about liquid calories.

Drinks like sodas, juices, and alcohol can be very high in calories, carbohydrates, and sugars. Water or unsweetened tea is a better choice of beverage. Diabetic patients should pay special attention to their carbohydrate intake as too many carbs can cause spikes in blood sugar.

A general of thumb is that a man should eat about 60 grams of carbohydrate per main meal and as a woman about 45 grams. That's about one and a third cup of rice for a man and one cup of rice for a woman.

People with high blood pressure should be mindful of how much salt they take in. They should be extra careful with things like soy sauce, fish sauce, or patis, adong and many soups like sinigang.

I have read so many Blogs of celebrity and professional bodybuilders and i have also experimented their diet and even day to day habit, It showed some improvement in the binging but it got lost on the long run.

Two reasons, first it was to expensive to maintain those kind of diet and exotic foods ,second I had no assistance ,Everything was just me.

Some of them have their personal yoga teacher i also hired one it was too expensive so i have shared with some of my friends, this is a nice thing going on,

If your friends are also interested you can do all this expensive personal trainer thing collectively ,it will save you a fortune ,instead of hiring personally.

So, hope you guys get some motivation out of it and chew your food The first thing I do as soon as I woke up is, cleanse their system with warm water It's not hot, just plain warm water and before.

I have 4 drops of noni juice, the concentrated noni juice, and it really gives a lot of strength in the morning, to cope with all the crazy stuff that they do in the rest of the day

And the other very important thing that I do as a ritual Every morning is oil pulling, so they take at least 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, cold-pressed coconut oil, and basically, roll it around my mouth.

Between my teeth It looks really funny they do that for a good 7 to 10 minutes I say you should do it for 20 minutes, but, you know, with our fast-paced lives, if I get in like 10 minutes.

Now a days I have started doing a lot of different workouts that have been inspired by Yoga as well.So I'm a fitness freak You can actually call me a freak now, yeah, self-confessed fitness freak.

but I don't do it to lose weight, or I don't do it to, prove a point to myself. Most people think that you have to contort your body into different pretzelic forms to do Yoga, but I don't.

I love Chinese food but whenever I search food near me or Chinese food near me ,The only thing i get is the places I never heard before. same yoga near me or yoga with Adrine I am a very big fan and i always follow her

The asanas are easy to go and the way that she tells us the benefit is to die for ,So also follow her for yoga tips and tricks

There are a lot of Asanas that I'm still surprised with, and I'm kind of rediscovering my inner strength, and my flexibility, with doing it over a period of time So no, you don't have to be an expert contortionist to do Yoga.

So I do a lot of workout regimes that help me with that so it's a mixture of high-intensity, you know, interval training, there is core-strengthening, I love doing planks, different kinds of that.

I enjoy bur-pees I know it's crazy, like who can enjoy bur-pees I enjoy these animal walks, so it's not one kind of training, it's an amalgam of a lot of stuff,also eat food which has the high nutritional value.

So, I discovered Yoga around 17 years ago, when I was injured I had injured my neck, and my physio had told me to start doing Yoga to strengthen it And I had a Yoga teacher to come home and teach me.

Then I went on to, learn much more about Yoga, I realized it wasn't just great for strengthening an injured part, and rehabilitation, but also great to, kind of, tone your body, and as I kept learning more and more about Yoga, I realized, It was not just for your body, but also, for your mind.

So, I think we all need help in that area So, I started off with Ashtanga today, I do Vinyasa, School of Yoga, I've tried all different kinds of Yoga forms, but what I would tell people, is that, it doesn't matter what form you're doing, try and keep to the basics of inhaling and exhaling throughout the Asanas.

So then I try, saying that I will compensate for the next day, so, it doesn't matter as long as you are not, they say Yoga is preferably to be done on an empty stomach, or you can have maybe, warm water, or a cup of tea..

Some people who are addicted to tea, or you know, a small piece of banana, that's about it. You can't go on a heavy stomach and start doing Yoga, so even if you do eat, try and maintain a two and a half hour gap, and then do Yoga

So, it can be in the afternoon, mid-afternoon, after your lunch They say working out, even in the evenings is great, you know So, it gives you a boost of energy, I prefer to do it in the morning.

So my day is pretty simple, and I eat like people used to eat 70 years ago, which means, my mornings start at 7 in the morning.. I try to get my breakfast in between 7 and..7.30 and 8, and it's a very high fiber breakfast.

So it'll be either oats, or muesli, coupled with fruits I start off with a raw food, so I's either a banana, or grated apple, blueberries, in my muesli, and , I try to keep it low sugar, so I would.

I prefer to use natural forms of sweeteners like honey, or powdered Jaggery, that is very readily available in the market Now the newest form of sugar is coconut sugar Even that's great for your oats So that's my breakfast.

That's if it's a vegetarian day.If my morning starts earlier than that, then I start off with this simple smoothie, which is, a mixture of almond milk, and banana, and raw oats and honey, and I can add whatever fruit I want into it.

So, that's on-the-go, and then I have 2 eggs So, if I start very early in the morning, there are basically two breakfasts So then I have 2 eggs around 10-10.30 with either avocado..raw avocado, and maybe a whole wheat toast with butter.

I have my tea, again with coconut sugar So I try and avoid all kinds of sweeteners, and, I like to keep it natural and clean. My afternoon meal is my heaviest meal actually, and it comprises of either brown rice, white rice, whatever is available.

There's a chicken or a fish, some kind of protein, and, I like my vegetables, so there's vegetables, and I have my salad its very simple, it's just cucumber and carrot with a bit of sea salt on it.

So it's nothing fancy Then there's sometimes, I may be alternate my heavy lunch, with like a, Yogi bowl, and that's what I call it So in that one bowl I basically put-in everything I'll put in salad leaves.

I'll put in barley or you know, rice.brown rice, and grilled chicken, I'll add beetroot, so it's like a salad, cum food, cum everything, all-in-one And the very important thing that I forgot to mention that I try to get in a spoon of butter into my lunch.

Then comes my snack, which is like a mid-meal A thing that I like I don't like to keep too much gap in between my food, I mean between my lunch and my tea So, my mid-meal would be a sandwich with beetroot and cucumber.and potato..

I love boiled potatoes, just sliced, and a bit of dry rub, and make it into a sandwich and just bite it, that just keeps you from getting peckish before dinner.

Which is a very light, fairly lighter meal than the rest of the day I like a soup.It can be veg, chicken, whatever.

I have something, grilled, or even if it's a vegetable, dal, whatever I try to keep it low-crab at night, I try But then, if I feel like having a mushroom hotpot rice, I'll have that So there is no hard and fast rule.

We have to take care of how we look, and, people can be judgemental, and I totally get it.

But I don't make too many changes, because I've already made a big lifestyle change I don't eat after 7.30 in the evening, I eat very healthy, clean food, so I have a clean diet, so I don't have to make too many changes.

Conclusion

you have to make sure that you eat a lot of high fiber, high protein, and making sure that maybe the previous day you don't have carbs, so, it's very low-crab the previous day.

The Keto diet, where you're eating high amounts of fat high amount of, actually, adequate protein high fat, and no carbs, no sugar, no fruits So I'm like..what are we gonna do It's scary.

So I mean, I would suggest something like that to maybe someone who's a body-builder, who has maybe let themselves go for some time and then need to shred, so, you know, it works really great for them.

But there are some people who barely have like 3 kilos to lose and they are on Keto diets And it makes you very crotchety, it makes you very angry because your body and your mind is not getting what it wants.

I don't know, I find it very strange, So I really hope this helps you guys in the long run, and if you like this Blog, do like, share and comment, and don't forget share this

Until next time stay healthy and God Bless You!!
