Maintain your weight
Prepared by: Social Responsibility Department at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center
To maintain weight and help you eat a healthy diet, we recommend the following:
* Reducing fat.
* Eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes, as they are a good source of energy, vitamins, and mineral salts.
* Reduce salt and sugar.
* Do not eat too much sweets and sugars.
* Drink milk daily to maintain healthy bones and teeth.
* Maintain drinking fluids, especially water, at a rate of 8 cups per day.
* Eat brown or whole wheat bread and whole grains.
* Maintaining the intake of the three main meals, especially breakfast, for school and university students in particular.
* Maintaining the intake of prepared and home-cooked meals and not eating too much fast food.
* Eat low-calorie snacks between main meals.
* Do not drink a lot of soft drinks and stimulants and replace them with fresh juices and milk.
* Do not reach the stage of extreme hunger because this leads to eating large quantities afterwards.
* Chew food well and eat it slowly.
* Do not delay dinner.
* Do not eat immediately before exercising, especially fatty meals.
* Reduce drinking water with food.
* The temperature of the food should be moderate.
* The meal should be comprehensive and varied.
