No matter what the fad diets claim, a sustainable weight loss takes time.
Losing weight is not an easy feat. It requires constant monitoring of what goes on one's plate along with a strict workout regime. No matter what the fad diets claim, a sustainable weight loss takes time, it is not an overnight miracle. Consistency is key, and while there would be moments where you feel weak- you cannot give up so soon. One of the most essential factors for effective and efficient weight loss is following a healthy dietary pattern. If you are looking to lose weight and wish to get rid of that extra fat around your waist, then it is probably time for you to bring some lifestyle changes. A simple change like replacing heavy and calorie-loaded evening snacks with healthy and protein-rich ones can help you in achieving your weight loss goals. Protein helps fill you up. If you feel full, you would naturally binge less.
Here is a list of 3 protein-dense evening snacks that you can add to your weight loss diet plan:
Egg Chaat
Egg lovers, this one's for you. An abundantly rich source of protein, eggs consumed in any form can fill you up with protein content. To prepare egg chaat, all you need is 2-3 boiled eggs and veggies of your choice. Chop the boiled eggs and add them in a bowl. Saute veggies of your choice in little olive oil and add them with chopped boiled eggs. Add in black pepper and cumin, as both the spices will help in boosting the body's metabolism.
