If your birthday is just around the corner but the idea of enjoying your favourite cake makes you think twice; it’s time to relax and plan your party. You don’t gain weight just by indulging or pigging out on a single day. Weight gain depends upon your lifestyle and diet over a certain period of time. Your birthday comes just once a year after all and the last thing to be worried about is how many kilos you would have gained by the next day. However, to truly enjoy your special day, begin by taking care of your diet and working out as early as you can. That way, you will feel confident about looking good and stay guilt free on your birthday too. So, go ahead and make it a day to remember, but keep the celebrations to just that one day.

Are nuts good or bad for you and your weight loss? Nuts are usually not recommended for most people because of their high calorie and fat content. However the monounsaturated fats found in nuts are good for your heart and general health. They are great sources of fiber, vitamins, iron and other minerals. If you love to munch on nuts now and then, make sure that you choose walnuts and almonds over other varieties. Walnuts are high in omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins and magnesium whereas almonds are loaded with nutrients and are comparatively lower in fat content as well. Garnish your salad with a few nuts, enjoy a nut based dip or simply have a handful of nuts with raisins as a snack. That way, you give your body a lot of nutrients without feeling guilty afterwards about the calories.
