Diet tips to lose stomach fat

MyPlate diet plan: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) developed a helpful guide for adults and children to be as healthy as possible. “MyPlate” replaces the familiar “food pyramid”, which has been found to be obsolete. The MyPlate model shows the five food groups (fruits, vegetables, proteins, grains, and dairy) in a proportion set, making it easier to understand the types of food and quantity to include in each meal to have a healthy and balanced diet. The plate is divided into four unequal sections to represent different food groups.

The main food groups are as follows:

Vegetable

Protein

Grain

Fruit

Dairy ( a small amount of dairy is incorporated into the diet)

Vegetables make up the largest portion on the plate, which is 40%, followed by grains, which is 30%. Fruits make up 10% of the plate, and protein makes up 20%. Fruits and vegetables fill half the plate, whereas proteins and grains fill the other half. A small amount of dairy in a glass (milk) or cup (yogurt) is incorporated into the diet. MyPlate Food Groups and Portions Chart Food Group Portion (%) Vegetables 40 Proteins 20 Grains 30 Fruits 10 Dairy Small amount Intermittent fasting: Any form of fasting helps in weight loss because of the reduction in calorie content. There are three methods of intermittent fasting, namely,

alternate-day fasting,

periodic fasting, and

daily time-restricted feeding.

The most effective method of intermittent fasting is something that can be easily maintained, based on the individual’s daily routine. The eight-hour window for eating is commonly recommended. For example, if a meal is being eaten at 6 p.m. in the evening, the next meal should be taken at 10 a.m. the next day. The individual can eat from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (an eight-hour window for eating) and fast from 6 p.m. to 10 a.m.
