Have a good breakfast

If you feel surprised at this, it means you were unaware of the way the body works. Your breakfast should be the most fulfilling meal of the day. This is because it tends to keep you full throughout the day. The simple explanation behind this is that your metabolism tends to be controlled after a hearty breakfast as it is the best part of the day for digesting your food.

Do not pile-up junk foods in your home 

If you are in the habit of stacking up piles of cookies, wafers, chips or chocolates for the month, get rid of the tendency. You may still have your favourite foods from time to time, but do not make it easy for yourself to get hold of one. Getting your favourite sugary delight should at least involve getting out of the house to the nearest store.

Choose whole grains to white grains 

Whole wheat bread, brown rice, whole wheat pasta and other whole wheat cereals are rich in fibre. They are easily absorbed in the body due to the presence of fibre that helps in digestion of the food.

Drink lot of water

Drink lot of water during the day, at least 3 to 4 litres. Start your day with a glass of water as there is nothing better to cleanse, detox and hydrate your system. It will help to flush out the toxins due to constipation, a common cause of obesity.
