🥗 Simple Diet Guidelines for Busy People
Exercise alone isn’t enough. What you eat determines your progress. Many everyday foods are high in sugar and processed fat that harm your body silently.
Here’s a simple and sustainable plan:
🔹 Morning Options
- Oats with milk
- 2 boiled eggs or omelet
- Banana + black coffee
🔹 Lunch Options
- Chicken or fish + vegetables + brown rice or whole grain roti
- Drink 2–3 liters of water throughout the day
🔹 Snacks
- Fruits (apple, banana, oranges)
- Nuts (almond, walnuts)
- Avoid chips, fried food, and sugary drinks
🔹 Dinner
- Light and early if possible
- Soup, salad, or 1–2 boiled eggs
- Keep dinner lighter than lunch
Key Tip: Track your daily calorie needs and eat around 300–400 fewer calories to lose fat.
Extra Tips for Extra-Busy People
Even if your schedule is packed, you can still stay fit with these small habits:
- Walk to the office if it’s nearby
- Use stairs instead of elevators
- Talk on the phone while standing or walking
- Do 5–10 minutes of stretching right after waking up
- Don’t aim for “perfect workouts”—consistency is better than intensity
