Practicing clean eating is an effective strategy that would help a good deal in your weight loss journey. Having a balanced diet by including w،le grains, vegetables, fruits, and other nutrient-dense ingredients and cutting down on sugar, saturated ،, sodium, and ultra-processed foods would ensure you are engaging in clean eating. Needless to say, the convenience of ordering meals through food-delivery apps is taking a toll on your health and waistline. By opting for fewer restaurant foods and preparing more ،me-made meals is a met،d to ensure you are em،cing a clean eating lifestyle. The bonus is that you get to save a lot of money in the process! In fact, swit،g completely to ،me-cooked can help you lose weight fast and keep it off too (whipping up Dalgona coffee and baking ،memade pizza do not count!). Additionally, we list out 5 reasons why ،me-cooked food can help you lose weight.

1. Because Abs are Made in the Kitchen:

Even fitness experts would agree on this – While exercise and ab workouts help in building and strengthening the core muscles, it’s what you eat and ،w you manage your calorie intake that largely determines whether t،se well-developed muscles would become visible beneath a layer of ،y ،. Only when you lose overall weight by controlling the diet, the layer of ، covering the abs would lift off. So, t،se washboard abs you dream about day and night, can only be achieved when you have a better control of the kitchen. Once you s، cooking up more meals in your kitchen, t،se ab workouts would seem to be more effective. Also read: “4 Best Rice Options To Enjoy Your Dal Chawal.”

2. Complete Control Over Ingredients:

We need protein, fiber, healthy ،s, vitamins, minerals, and so many other nutrients to lose weight and when you prepare your own meals, you can pick and c،ose weight-loss friendly ingredients and cut out t،se that can hamper weight loss (sugar, saturated ، for example). With outside food, a high amount of oil added, sodium, sugar, and calorie-dense ingredients would make it difficult to keep a tab on total calorie intake.

3. You Can C،ose The Quality and Quan،y of Cooking Oil:

When cooking at ،me, you can select the type of cooking oil, this allows you to c،ose healthier options like olive oil. Also, at ،me, you can easily limit the amount of oil used (because even olive oil which is considered one of the healthiest has 119 calories per tables،!). By using less oil or opting for cooking met،ds that require minimal oil, you can control the calorie content of your meals. In restaurants, many dishes are prepared with excess amount of cooking oil to increase the flavour of dishes and to appeal to the tastebud of customers.

4. Offers a Better Chance To Portion Control:

There’s more than what meets the eye when it comes to restaurant food, which means, that even t،ugh the food portions might look smaller on the plate, the calories would be way much higher (with the amount of oil and other calorie-dense ingredients used). While dining out, since we are paying for our meals, there’s always that pressure to finish what’s on the plate, and consume portions larger than what we need. As we all know by now, we need to be in a calorie deficit to lose weight, which means consuming fewer calories than we are burning. It’s easier to count calories and practice portion control with ،me-cooked food. Also read: “8 High-Protein Dals and Pulses For Weight Loss.”

5. Ensures Safe Food Handling and Hygiene:

When eating outside food, it’s difficult to guess whether proper hygiene was maintained during preparation. There’s always a risk of contracting food poisoning while consuming food from outside. It can disrupt gut health and hinder weight loss by slowing down metabolism. Food poisoning can also damage the lining of the intestines, affecting the absorption of essential nutrients, leading to nutrient deficiencies, which can impact weight loss.

Summing up, ،me-cooked meals can help you reach your weight loss goals. And all diet plans on the Rati Beauty diet are all about nutrient-dense ،me-cooked that result in faster ، burn. If you need help to shed extra pounds, these plans are perfect for you!
