🎯 Weight Loss Tips for Vegans

💧

Drink Water Before Meals

Drink 1–2 glasses of water 30 min before eating. Reduces hunger and increases satiety.

⏰

Eat Every 3–4 Hours

Don't skip meals. 5 small meals/day keeps metabolism active and prevents binge eating.

🌙

Stop Eating by 8 PM

Night eating = fat storage. Keep dinner light and early. End with herbal tea.

🏃

Walk 30 Min Daily

Even on rest days, a 30-minute walk burns ~150 kcal and aids digestion.

🚫

Avoid Maida & Sugar

Replace white bread with roti. Replace sugar with jaggery or dates.
