Oatmeal Diet Plan For Weight Loss

Oatmeal Diet Plan For Weight Loss

Oatmeal Diet Plan for weight loss – Lose weight up to 5 kg in 10 days

Weight gain and weight loss are the major concern area for many of us in today’s scenario.

There are various reasons for weight gain. Starting from our unusual eating habits, unhealthy eating habits, sleeping patterns, peace of mind or mental health to our complete lifestyle plays an important role in our weight gain and weight loss.

Hormones also play an important role in our body weight. But the magic is our body weight is an important factor in maintaining hormonal balance. Basically it’s a cyclic process. So we can put effort to maintain healthy body weight and BMI so as to live a healthy life.

Why it’s difficult to start any weight-loss plan?

Procrastination & lack of will power plays an important role in initiating a weight loss plan.

We tend to think, “Let’s eat this today, I’ll start from tomorrow”. But remember there is no tomorrow.  In such a scenario what we need most is strong will power. It’s not easy to say “NO” to mouth-watering calorie-rich foods. You need that strong “NO” coming from your heart or mind.

So lack of will power stops us to take this seriously. Again some myths that “dieting is not good for health”. But here we are not following any crash diet where you will be hungry and starving.

We are just going to follow a high protein and high fiber diet which will increase our metabolism and will fasten the process of losing excess fats.

Yes. It’s difficult but at the same time, it’s easy too. The only thing required is self-control and perseverance to get perfect body weight and a healthy life.

Maybe all those calorie-rich foods are a great treat to our tongue and taste buds but they might not be a good nutrition source for our body and heart.

So to lead a healthy life we have to be very choosy and particular on food values in terms of vitamins and nutrients that we will get from these foods. Read the Importance of healthy eating habits.

Health is wealth

Getting into perfect shape is the secondary aim but our main focus is good health.

Don’t you agree that with increased weight we are inviting many diseases?

Continuously eating unhealthy foods will definitely affect our body and mind. We will put on extra pounds which will be stubborn with the course of time and difficult to cut them in the future.

When we gain more weight we will face various diseases unnecessarily spending more time on illness, stress and that will even affect us financially. Isn’t it a loose – loose situation for us?

But the good news is we know the solution of this. In order to live our life happily, we need to change our lifestyle in terms of our food intake as the first step.

Oats as Super-food

Oats are whole grains that are rolled and crushed to oatmeals. These are one of the super-foods and if you want a healthy life ahead then you must include this in your daily diet. Oatmeals are good for your health whether you are on a diet or you are not on diet.

Oats are rich in dietary fiber and fiber help in proper digestion and fat excretion from the body. When it mixed with water it increases in volume and gives you satiety.

This is also high in protein. High protein will keep you full for longer and decreases appetite leading to lesser food consumption.

If you are focused on losing some extra pounds from your belly and waist area then you must include oats in your daily diet.

It has many other benefits as well such as:

• Its soluble fiber lowers blood cholesterol level
• Reduces blood glucose level and hence treats diabetes
• Helps in reducing obesity
• Reduces belly fat
• improves bowel movement and relieves in constipation
• Selenium present in oats reduces the chance of cancer

Why I’m so confident about this diet plan? I have followed this diet plan and I have lost more than 5kg in a span of 15 days. It’s difficult if you are starting any diet.
