Celebrity Nutritionist Sumaya Dalmia Shares the Non-Gym Goer’s Diet To Get Fit

If slamming medicine balls in the gym or pulling an impeccable downward-facing dog in the Yoga class is not your version of fitness, do not feel guilty.

Feeling and looking your best is all about customized health routines – finding out what works best for you. No, reaching for fries as you Netflix and chill does not count as exercise.

“With social media influencing the millennials, general body awareness is making them more conscious towards correct health choices. I don't advocate diets but eating nutritionally conscious food with almost no packaged foods in your meals should do the trick if you are not that active,” says Sumaya Dalmia, celebrity fitness and wellness expert.

While getting fit is not only about burning the calories having a healthy meal plan and a decent level of activity is a good place to start. Just start taking the stairs, y’all!

So, here are Sumaya’s cardinal dietary rules if your activity levels are on the down-low:

“Eating nothing out of a packet”

While processed, packaged food may be convenient to just reheat and eat, they are so not good for your health. Many of them have large amounts of hidden sodium, fats, and sugar that not only tip the scales in the wrong direction but can also make you sick.

“Limit your fruit intake”

It is recommended not to have more than two servings of fruit in a day in which you can benefit from the nutrients found in fruits without overeating. In a bid to get healthy some of us are prone to eating fruit while excluding other foods, this can lead to potential nutritional deficiencies.

Eliminate extra sugars

Switch to low glycemic grains such as quinoa, long grain basmati rice, brown rice etc especially if you are inactive throughout most of the day.

Eat healthy fats 

Do not be scared of the F word. It is a great idea to snack on healthy fats such as nuts, avocado, raw coconut etc to prevent insulin spikes and maintain healthy hormones.

Yes, getting fit is not about going into starvation mode but all about making healthier choices. Now, you know!
