Myth 2: Skipping dinner or eating only fruits helps reduce weight.
It is important to provide necessary supplements to your body even during evening time as the body never stops working. It goes on with its routine functions even when we are asleep. So, there is no point in depriving it from food. Yes, weight-watchers can compensate by having an early dinner or by eating protein- rich meals with less carbs. And one can always have a cup of milk if late night hunger strikes.
Myth 3: Only freshly-cooked meals are healthy.
Prepare your meals in advance. This will help you to save time. Moreover, if you are on an on-the-go mode, it can make you grab unhealthy fast food at times. So, it is better to have a meal cooked in advance in your refrigerator. Choose food that has a longer shelf live like Rajma and you can experiment with it also.
