Proper
meals are difficult for working mothers. They seldom plan meals for themselves.
It is always for the kids that they are feeding. Being on a diet is also a challenge,
as they neither have time to plan nor the will power to stick to a plan.
Here
are few tips to stick to your diet plan.
1.
Stock your kitchen with healthy options like nuts; trail mix,
fruits, etc. Do not get ice cream tubs, cookies, namkeens and candies. You may
instead opt for sorbets.
2.
Try to consume fresh fruits and make a salad as definite meal
for 1 meal of the day. You will feel lighter and will have more energy.
3.
Try to eat healthy with your children. Make soup bowl for them.
While feeding them, you can have it too. Do not encourage kids to have junk
food and eliminate it from your diet too.
4.
Have a diet rich in fruits, veggies, whole food and
antioxidants. Include berries, fish (salmon, sardines, tuna), salads, extra
virgin olive oil, lean chicken breast, and egg whites. Try to have organic food
to avoid pesticides.
