Dadi Jaan's Tips for Weight Reduction

Lemon:
Lemon is an ideal fruit, which helps in losing weight.

Lemon & Water:
A glass of warm water with one lemon squeezed in it (remember no sugar) is ideal to lose weight.

Tea:
Make green tea (without milk) and squeeze in half a lemon and have it 2- 3 times a day or more, this is an ideal remedy to reduce weight and stop those hunger pangs.

Food to Lose:
Whenever hunger strikes its better to eat food that is low in calories and is very filling, such foods are Corn, Beans (chanas), pulses (dal) and brown bread. Replace your white bread with Brown bread, which is rich in fiber and very stomach filling unlike white bread, which makes you feel hungrier.

For Eyes:
: In order to relax those stressed eyes, you can place cucumbers and potato slices which instantly gives your eyes a soothing effect.

For Skin:
Remember one thing, creams available in the market though lighten the skin but in actuality have Cotizon in it which is very harmful for the skin in the longer term, therefore avoid using it.
