If you are a vegetarian or are cutting down on meat consumption, a dish of chickpeas with rice and vegetables , can contribute a significant amount of protein to the diet. 👉 This is an Indian chickpea salad with fresh coconut and few veggies. It has fibre, protein, good fat, carbs and essential minerals and B vitamins. Ideal for WeightLoss, PCOD, Diabetes and for lowering cholesterol.

If you want to lose weight fast then stop judging your body. You are unnecessarily inviting stress by judging yourself. Weight Loss is a lot more complicated than the traditional Calorie In, Calorie Out OR Move more, Eat Less theory. Stress erodes self control. Stress depletes the energy you would otherwise use to exert self-control. For e.g. your boss/colleague/kids/ work is being a pain all day, and someone offers you a cake/bhujia/ any high carb snacks —you’ll find it a lot harder to say “no.” If you’re trying to lose weight while being chronically stressed, it’s like you are trying to run a marathon while carrying someone on a piggyback ride. You can go to the finish line but by making it a lot harder. The reason is, your sympathetic nervous system is “switched on” at a smoke alarm mode. And in this state, it’s hard to pay attention to anything else. Nothing works according to the body.  Stress increases insulin levels, which impacts the ability to burn calories and forces us to eat more comfort food by triggering cortisol levels in the brain. How to Fix it? Accept the reality. Admit you are stressed. Don’t force yourself to the gym, or keep eating food that you just don’t like. Go slow. Instead of doing 5 workouts per week, do just 2-3 per week. Eat food that you like but in moderation. Eat without guilt. Feel happy about it. As soon as you eat or while eating, don’t say or think how many calories are going in, and you have to burn it off. Plan your meals and be organised. The more organised you are with your food and daily habits, less there will be chances of slip. Stick a weekly meal planner on the kitchen wall and follow that. Buy groceries according to that. Pick up a hobby that reduces your stress - I did mandala art. Lastly start and end your day with some calming practices like, listen to some music, sit for few mins with only yourself, download an app like Calm or MasterClass and learn meditation or just follow any guided one. “Everything you need is already inside you.” Hope you guys had a great start of the week. Love 💕 and Hugs 🤗 Lopa

I have been practicing in LAVA hot yoga from the last 6 months and trust me I’ve seen tons of benefits. Not only I dropped my weight but also so many other things. (Here goes my first hand honest review after 6 months of personal practice) 👉You literally sweat it out in each session. 👉My skin glows 👉 Stretching becomes easier because body warms up faster. 👉 It raises the heart rate faster than normal yoga. 👉 Helps in body toning because of the heat effect of the room. 👉 It detoxes and cleanses the body and skin. 👉 The mild music and the lighting of the room helps reduce my stress and brings calmness. 👉It reduces period cramps. 👉 I get to practice on a mandala mat every time. @mandukasg 👉 Lastly, I can show off my tattoo 😉 and don a sports bra look comfortably throughout the session (it’s a women’s only studio). LAVA Hot Yoga is running an offer now. You can book a trial class with them through their website. Tagging their IG @lavayogasingapore Use code “LAVALOPA” for further discounts on their website.

“𝙀𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙫𝙚𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙨” is probably the world’s most common health recommendation. Fruits are healthy — they are real, whole foods. They are rich in antioxidants, fibre and water. However, fruits are also relatively high in sugar (fructose) too. For this reason, I thought let me address this topic today. If you suffer from weight gain because of PCOD, 99% of the time you also suffer from some degree of insulin resistance. Insulin Resistance? It means when cells in your muscles, fat, and liver don't respond well to insulin and can't easily take up glucose from your blood. Extra glucose (fructose from fruits) if not utilised gets stored as fat in the body, especially in the abdominal cavity. That is the reason why people who suffer from PCOD have belly fat. The bottomline is, anything which is high in glycemic index or high in sugar should be either avoided or eaten sparingly. Fruits which are okay to be eaten are berries, citrus fruits, kiwi, avocado and melons.

Why eating Oatmeal is considered a great breakfast option for any/all health goals? 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐖𝐡𝐲 👇 👉 Oats help your body receive more protein. 👉 Oats are rich in antioxidants You’ll lose weight, will get better skin, lower your cholesterol levels and the risk of heart disease. 👉 Oats are great for people with digestive issues and constipation. It adds fibre and helps regulate the bowel movement. 👸And of course you can even use oats with some whole milk to scrub your face and your body 👯‍♀️ What do you make with Oats?

There are plenty of ways you can get on track to stay healthy and to lose weight. My suggestion is - Start Slow Take one day at a time Start with small practices and build it like a habit. Repeat 🔁 and again add something new. Getting healthy is a process and not a short term course. “You don’t have to be extreme. Just be consistent” Love 💕 and Hugs 🤗 Lopa ————————————————————- . . #weightlosstipsforwomen #prilaga #healthblogger #weightlossinspiration #healthcoaching #hydrated #ketoweightlosstips #healthyeating101 #holisticnutritionist #whatnutritionistseat #healthylivingblog #fitnessbloggers #weightlosstips4today #weightlosstips_foru #healthyeatinghabits #nutritionistapproved #weightlossinspirations #sgfitness #proteinpowder #weightlosstips

1️⃣ One of the most helpful ways to prevent overeating is to understand why it’s happening in the first place. Before you eat, pay attention to how you’re feeling - stressed, bored, lonely, tired 🥱 or anxious. 2️⃣ It is best to keep that visually tempting food particularly sugary baked goods, deep fried snacks, namkeens out of sight, such as in the cupboard or completely out of your house 😀. 3️⃣ Don’t restrict yourself too much. One of the most important nutrition rules to follow to prevent overeating is to not deprive your body of food. Eat and do deviations occasionally. 4️⃣ Lastly tackle your ✔️stress (practice any meditative regime) ✔️ boredom (get involved in an activity that is productive and you enjoy) ✔️ and present state of mind. Be in the present and accept your reality and flow with it. Don’t judge or hate yourself for falling off the wagon. Overeating is just a phase. 🔜 We all get over it with right practices and repeated right actions. Do you suffer from overeating? Or have you suffered from it in the past?

In the last 14 months I have walked/hiked in several island-wide routes across Singapore comprising of multiple park connectors and trails. Haven’t documented any on my IG feed so far apart from posting it in the stories. Doing a little experimentation today with my content:) Hope you’ll like this. Documenting today’s walk: Started from Spring Leaf Nature Park (upper thompson road) - The upper Seletar Reservoir park - Mandai park Connector - Woodlands Avenue 12 Park Connector - Sembawang Park Connector - Sembawang MRT. Route: Mostly Flat and walking through the PCN (Park Connector Network) Weather was amazing - cloudy and was raining too. Total Kms: 12kms Swipe left to see the pics and the videos (Sound On Please) You can follow me on STRAVA too. ___________________________________________________ #mandaitrail #singaporetrailwalk #woodlands #treetop #shiftcam #singapore #walk #hiking #mountains #lake #tree #relive #macritchiereservoir #mandai #funwalk #brickwalk #singaporewalk #bukitpanjang #sembawang #sgfitness #reliveapp #relivecc #bukittimah #love #shiftcamwalk #earlymorning #fromdarktobright #expatlivingsg #pcn #strava
