If you’re looking for the healthiest and most effective way to lose weight, there are literally thousands of diets and methods to reach your goal. With so many different options on how to shed those unwanted pounds, finding just one plan can get a bit confusing.
To simplify an effective plan to lose weight, Samdeesh Puri, the owner of Divine Life Science pharmaceuticals has 24 tips to help you with your goals.
Choose a day to start your diet, make yourself aware, and have everything prepared. The mood is imperative to achieve our purpose, it is not a good idea to go on a diet when we have a problem at work, emotional, stress, exam time, etc
Set yourself a reasonable goal, weight according to your sex, age, size, and a complexion that is considered healthy, that is the most important thing, and with the one that you feel good, be realistic, it will be easier for you to achieve than an “ideal weight ”, Each person is different, and who better than you to know you.
If you have to lose a lot of weight, don’t hesitate, put yourself in the hands of a professional, who will assess your health and develop a specific diet for you. In addition, the periodic controls that you will carry out will contribute to your success with your diet.
So, besides your doctor, you can consult a registered dietician nutritionist specializing in preventing and treating certain diseases through proper nutrition. They can provide you with a wide range of services, including home meal planning and strategies, assessment of your current diet, and other nutritional needs. They can also advise you about unhealthy foods to avoid weight gain.
You can consider working with a psychologist or other mental health professional to assist you in making some behavioral changes. They can help you establish your relationship with food and your attitude toward food and weight.
Eat everything, do not rule out any food group, we need them all (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) and every day. There are no miracle diets, do not opt for those fast diets, that although you can lose a lot in a short time, be sure that you will recover it quickly, and if you prolong this type of diet you put your health at risk, they are always lacking some essential nutrient, they cause constipation, they are usually monotonous, boring and frustrating, they cause exhaustion and a high level of abandonment.
Walking, swimming, cycling, 1 hour, 3 times a week minimum. If it is impossible, due to lack of time, force yourself to exercise in your day to day, go to work walking or by bicycle, avoid elevators, take advantage of the weekends to do sports, play with the children …
Hydrate yourself: drink plenty of water, at least 1.5 L a day. If you are not capable, try the infusions, hot or cold are perfect for this purpose.
While you are on a diet, forget about the alcohol, it provides a lot of empty calories (without usable nutrients) and sugary soft drinks. If you meet friends for a drink, and you don’t feel like asking for water, you have multiple alternatives: tomato juice, ideal for an aperitif, infusions, 0% sugar soft drinks, or non-alcoholic beer (without abusing the latter two due to their gaseous content).
Cook with the minimum amount of fat possible: steamed, baked, grilled. Steamed vegetables do not lose their vitamins and enhance the flavor. Papillote fish do not need oil, grilled meats, boiled, soft-boiled or poached eggs.
Seasonal products guarantee the best taste and quality.
Eliminate butter, cream, and sauces. For cooking and for dressing salads, she uses extra virgin olive oil. In total 2 tablespoons a day maximum.
Enjoy the moment of the meal, calmly, set the table, serve on your plate what you are going to eat, neither more nor less. It is better not to put trays with food on the table, avoid the temptation to nibble. Sit down to eat, and nothing else, no TV, no reading that distracts you, chew slowly, the brain needs up to 20 minutes to perceive the feeling of satiety.
It is a good idea to eat on a dessert plate, fool your mind: “the plate is full”.
Do the shopping always with a full stomach, you will avoid falling into temptations and buying inappropriate things.
Plan your menus in advance, and cook the right amount that you are going to eat.
Be strict, do not skip the diet, not even on Sunday, at least during the first month, the end deserves your effort. There will be time for some whim when we achieve our goal.
Do not make the mistake of doing without all carbohydrates: bread, rice, pasta … opt for whole grains, this type of food should predominate in the total of daily calories, they provide the necessary energy for our muscles and for our brain. If we do without them, we will find ourselves tired, fatigued, blood pressure can drop too low, and suffer from lipothymia, in addition to not feeling satiated and at risk of significant abandonment.
If you want to add carbohydrates to your diet as part of your weight loss program, it’s best to consider adding oatmeal to your meals. Generally, oats can be regarded as one of the healthiest grain products. They can be a superfood that can help prevent heart disease and, more importantly, lose weight.
Some people love to eat oatmeal for breakfast. That said, it’s essential to figure out oatmeal’s shelf life and learn how to store it properly. This way, you can preserve them and prevent them from going bad. On the other hand, if you’re looking for oatmeal with a longer shelf life, the products from Proper Good and other similar providers may be an excellent option.
Regulates intestinal transit, lowers cholesterol and blood sugar, and increases the feeling of satiety.
Breakfast is the most necessary meal of the day, don’t skip it.
Dinner must always be light because it’s harder to digest food when you go to bed at night.
If you can: do some physical activity after meals, such as taking a walk. Walking can strengthen the muscles that support your joints. Moreover, it can boost your respiratory system and your overall immune system. All these health benefits can lead to better weight loss since you can take a walk with great endurance.
Change sugar for sweetener: saccharin with few calories but slightly bitter. Aspartame, with a taste more similar to sugar, and negligible caloric value, should not be used for cooking. It loses its sweetening power at 120ºC. Stevia is the natural alternative, with 0 calories, and it can be used in cooking.
Don’t be obsessed with weight control: weighing yourself once a week is enough. Better on an empty stomach, without clothes, and after having used the bathroom.
Trust the medicinal plants that are very useful in weight control diets.
A little help: Health products, sold in a pharmacy, captures fat, carbohydrate blockers, appetite reducers, they are useful, of course, but not miraculous. They are all based mainly on the power of fiber, increasingly improved, which prevents our body from taking advantage of part of the fats and/or sugars that we ingest with food, or that swell in the stomach causing us to feel full and improve intestinal transit. These increasingly studied products are proven effective, always accompanied by diet and exercise.

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
