See you NEXT Sunday!!

Dieting can change a person’s life for the better or ruins one’s health completely.

Almost 90% of the beautiful women today want a beautiful figure. That is why we are able to find a diet program almost everywhere in the country. Other than diet plans, there are also umpteen slimming places spread across Dubai... to aid women in their endeavour to LOSE WEIGHT!

"You are what you eat", goes a famous saying. If that's truly the case, then a lot of US would appear to be unhealthy, chemically treated, commercially raised slabs of animal flesh. While that is not a particularly pleasant thought, it is nonetheless a description of the typical Young human Omnivore who survives on the consumption of big MAC’s and greasy FRENCH FRIES. It's true, and what are we to do about this problem?

A proper diet program will help not only to slim down but also to have a healthier eating habit. For instance taking more vegetables and fruits than meat, avoiding fried food and carbonated drinks are healthy additions to our diet plan. For a diet program we shouldn’t cut one self from food and water.

However some people do not only go on a diet but they avoid eating and go hungry for the whole day. All they have is just either water or juices. Also there a people who buy special diet program over the counter like taking pills which are not approved by the health department and without consulting a doctor first. They do not follow the basic rules of dieting and this will lead them to some serious health problems like dysfunctional of some body parts or, even worse, death. And then we have people with eating disorders like bulimia, anorexia etc.

To keep the metabolism going strong and to prevent overeating, it’s important to have a healthy snack around every three to four hours. If you are at home, it’s fairly easy, but what about at work or in between client meetings between Al Quoz, JLT, DOZ and Dubai Media City.

Here are some ideas for portable healthy snacks, to keep you healthy and productive:

In Your Car:

* Almonds (unsalted preferably)
* Animal crackers
* Fruit snacks
* Graham crackers
* Mixed nuts

Your Desk Drawer at the Office:

* Canned fruit
* Fruit (apples has the longest life span, though I hate Apples!!! Urghh)
* Instant oatmeal
* Canned shakes (e.g. Slim-Fast)
* Microwave soup cups
* Peanut butter and whole grain crackers

In the Mini-Fridge at the Office:

* Low-fat or non-fat yogurt
* Single serving orange juice bottles
* Single serving tomato juice cans
* Sliced veggies and reduced-fat salad dressing

In Your Handbag or Backpack:

* Baked or reduced-fat potato chips in a zipper bag
* Baked tortilla chips in a zipper bag
* Cereal (low sugar preferably) in a zipper bag
* Cereal bar
* Mixed nuts in a zipper bag
* Popcorn (preferably air-popped) in a zipper bag
* Raisin mini boxes (Yummmmm)

In my opinion there is nothing wrong in going on a diet as long as ONE can follow the correct way of eating and has a good enough reason to diet. :D Every SUNDAY is like a I AM ON A DIET AND I NEED TO GET FIT Day!! But somewhere down the SUNDAY, Things go haywire and my diet goes for a toss... LOL… But then I can’t start the same on the next day, because the next day is not a SUNDAY, and we just have to start on a SUNDAY don’t we… LOL… Not a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or a Friday… Only on a SUNDAY!! So I am Waiting for the Next SUNDAY!! LOL Cya Diet… Cya next Sunday!! :D :D

P.S By the way, if you guys do have other proven healthy snacks, please do share them in our comments. :D :D :D
