The only key to keep your mind and body fit is to include some of the important food choices in your daily routine 

It’s very important to know the best Diet plan for your healthy mind and body.  Invite Happiness With The best Diet(Nutrition) Plan

Following are the best diet plan which you can easily stick to all through your life. There are so many diet and fitness plan available online which helps you on how to plan a healthy nutrition. But you can’t stick to those plans forever. Therefore, it’s recommended to choose a smart diet plan which is easier to adopt in your day to day life.

• Never skip your breakfast. It’s a common saying that [Eat your breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar] It implies that your heaviest meal should be in the morning [this allows your body to digest all the calories in the whole day] a bit lighter in the afternoon and dinner should be the lightest one. Eat dinner before 3 hours of sleeping.
•  Don’t stuff yourself with heavy meals. Smaller portion of food are recommended to provide your body enough energy all through the day. The trick is not to starve your self to loose weight. The only way to reduce weight is to introduce smart way of eating in your daily routine.
• Stick to wheat bread instead of white bread.
•  Don’t forget to give a kick start to your body by playing your favorite sports. Perhaps, some people find gym exercising quite boring. Especially, for those people who detest sticking to a strict regime of hitting a gym 5 days a week.
•  Experiment with baked and grilled food rather than fried food. Research suggests that frying food is not a healthy option. It not only takes away the nutritious value of the food but also adds loads of calories.
• Say a BIG No to whole milk. There are different percentages of toned milk available in the market so switch to 1 % milk. It will save you from the intake of almost 45 calories.
• If you feel like having some desserts then try sharing it with your friend.
• Always include a small portion of salad and fruits in your meals. Preferably, eat fruits and salads before starting your meal.

• Whenever you feel hungry just grab some fresh fruits. Make fruits as a source of snacks rather than munching fried dry fruits or chips all the time. Fruits are easy to carry, always keep two types of fruits in your bag. Note:- Dry Fruits are not unhealthy provided you take it the right way. Almonds are great option for cardiac health but if you are having the fried version of it then it becomes unhealthy. You can soak 5-6 almonds in water at night and have it in the morning without peeling off the skin. It’s a myth - dry fruits increases weight. If you have a limited amount of it in the right way then without a doubt you can reap its health benefits.
• Try to pack your office lunch with you. Of course you have to reach your office early and you are always worried about the traffic on the roads. Hence, every working individual prefer to grab lunch from outside, indeed sometimes its convenient but the point remains that is it healthy?. In the morning you can make a sandwich for yourself. There are millions of healthy recipes which can be ready in no time. This weekend take out some time to learn different recipes on Google.
• Try to keep a track on what you eat. At the end of the day you can write the kind of food you had. It hardly takes 5 minutes every day to maintain a diary. Develop a habit to relax before going to sleep and indulge in introspection. 
• It’s good that you like sandwiches and it’s also a healthy option. It’s healthy only if you are not adding unhealthy ingredients like a slice of cheese, mayonnaise. On the other hand, if you replace it with mustard and tomato sauce then sandwiches would be an idle snack for you.
• Try having different varieties of soups, which is not only a healthy option but also delicious.
•  Whenever you eat something, don’t roam around just sit and enjoy the meal [take your time in chewing instead of just gulping it ]
• In today’s busy life when jobs have become so demanding and you find it hard to cope up with the pressure. More and more people tend to grab a tin of bear or a soft drink and skip their lunch. First of all bear, soda and cold drinks are unhealthy options. You can keep a pack of Green Tea with you and anytime you feel you can easily dip in hot water. It’s a well known fact that Green Tea benefits.  

• Needless to say, fruits and vegetables juice are really good to have. But don’t grab a pack of juice which has preservatives and added sugar (though all of companies claim they don’t have). Always go for fresh juices.  
• I personally love Non- Veg Food. But I do like to eat green vegetables also. Don’t just stick to Non Veg food all the time. It’s advisable to strike a balance between the two.
• Experiment with different kinds of healthy food. Once you start enjoying various varieties of food then you will start enjoying cooking at home. Therefore, it’s easier to count the calorie intake by knowing what all ingredients you are adding to your recipe.  
• Never Go OverBoard With Alcohol. I personally don’t think that Alcohol is bad – but at the same time I believe anything over its limit is dangerous. Thus, try the limit the intake of alcohol. There are enough evidence that too much of alcohol and smoking lead to health hazards. Hence, guzzling 2-3 can of bears in a week perfectly fine. And don’t forget to Enjoy Good Wine.
• The utmost important factor is your “Tolerance Level”. In order to follow a healthy diet plan you need to practice will power. Meditation can really be helpful in gaining control over your temptations.

• One main struggle which every single overweight person is going through is to overcome food cravings. One of the most difficult temptations which are really hard to overcome is the temptations for junk food. In order to reduce weight you need to have control over your temptations.
• I am sure you must have heard people complaining about how difficult it’s to win over temptations. Needless to say, not many people can do it, and those people who can gain control over temptations achieve positive results.
• Are you also one of those million people who love to enjoy exotic food? Let’s all accept the very fact that eating gives us pleasure, whether it’s the mouth watering chocolate, pastries or pizza and what not! You will hardly come across anyone who is not fond of some or the other particular kind of food. The preference differs from person to person, and why not?! No individual is the same huh!
• There are thousands of websites that totally focus on helping overweight people to loose weight and to become healthy. So there is no lack of awareness or information about the right kind of nutrition or exercise one should adapt in order to be fit and healthy. So, where exactly the problem lies?
• Let’s discuss about why – when – how these food temptations occur. And at last we will try to find a solution to gain control on ourselves to achieve a healthy and fit body. Take a diary where you will be noting down all your feelings towards gaining control over your temptations. Ask yourself that are you depressed because of some personal, professional or health reasons?
• Every time you had a fight with your boss, wife or boy friend you tend to grab your favorite treat like a choco bar or packet of potato chips. In this situation the food craving is due to your emotions at that particular time you are going through. As your mind is not at peace with yourself therefore you are not able to direct your actions in a positive direction. Stress often takes a toll on anyone so don’t think that you are alone. All you have to do is to fight against negative thoughts and do every possible thing to reduce weight.

When do you mostly struggle with food cravings? - When you are down or when you hungry or when you are lazing around.

• It’s quite common that when you have a hard day, you start thinking of ways to feel good. And what can be a better idea than having your favorite chocolate, cookies or anything which you love to enjoy. It gives you a feel good factor for a while but - but does it make you feel the same way after you finish it? Let’s all accept it that all the food cravings are fattening!!
• On the other hand if you are fit and you make sure that you workout in the gym on a regular basis then once in a while giving a treat to yourself is acceptable! But when you are trying to reduce, then fattening stuff which is oily or sweet will make your struggle of weight loss even more difficult.
• Before going to sleep you can write down about what food you had and later which made you feel guilty! It’s very important to recognize the trigger that develops a sense of craving in your mind.
• Once you know how to cope up, half of your battle is already won. Any factor that leads to food craving needs to be tackled, whether it’s your loneliness which is killing you, or work pressure or a recent breakup.
