Stay away from Crash Diets
Crash diets are named in different ways based on the key food the diet recommends or the person who initiated it. Whatever the case may be, it is not advisable to use these diets as they are not balanced nutritionally. Firstly, they lack in key nutrients the body requires apart from vitamins and minerals. Hence one feels tired and weak throughout this period. Secondly, the body metabolism slows down, as it adapts itself to the low calorie diet and hence burns fewer calories and fat. Thirdly, in the process of losing weight, one would actually lose muscle mass. This is not desirable as this is what makes the body a fat burning machine. People who lose weight on crash diets fail to realize that they will regain the lost weight quickly once they resume their normal eating patterns. Hence the safest and the healthiest way to lose excess weight are through well-balanced nutritious diet and regular exercise. REMEMBER THERE ARE NO SHORT-CUTS TO WEIGHT LOSS. Meet your dietician today for a customized diet plan.

7 things not to do after meal
Don't eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal.
* Don't drink tea - Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.
* Don't smoke- Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher).
* Don't loosen your belt - Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked.
* Don't bathe - Bathing after meal will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.
* Don't walk about - People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.
* Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.
