According to nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar, one should focus on developing good habits first. This will eventually lead to good health and weight loss will be an automatic result. However, that path that people usually follow is weight loss first. In fact, quick weight loss may end up giving you poor health and this may eventually make you develop poor lifestyle habits.

The list of good habits include eating local, seasonal and traditional foods as part of your diet. The likes of avocado, quinoa and asparagus may help you lose weight in the short term. But they are surely not going to be sustainable in the long run. Foods which are sustainable are the ones that have been a part of your culture, the ones that you have grown up eating.

The list of good habits also include:

Diwekar says that developing healthy habits can also reduce PMS or period pain, give you better skin and hair quality, reduce sugar cravings, make you feel like you should exercise, regulate blood sugar levels and help you have a good lipid profile.

Following these habits will lead to a slow but sustainable weight loss. The beneficial aspect is that you won't feel cravings, irritability and mood swings which often come along with famous weight loss diets.

Following these habits will help you lose around 10 to 15% of your body weight in a year.

Stay indoors, stay safe and stay healthy everyone!
