Cut out all sugar, including sweeteners, by using honey as an alternative. Start your day with honey in hot water, replace sugar with honey in tea and coffee, on cereal, and in all your cooking throughout the day.

How will this help, we hear you ask? Let us help you understand better. Normal table sugar which is present in all of our houses contains calories which benefit you in absolutely no way. These calories, which give you very little or no nutrition are known as "empty calories". Your body uses up essential nutrients just to dissolve this unnecessary fat. Because most of our important nutrients and vitamins get used up here, we tend to gain weight while ingesting either pure sugar or sugar in other forms. This is exactly why honey, being a good source of nutrients, when substituted for sugar helps in reducing weight.


The refined white flour found in white pasta and white rice can cause blood sugar spikes. Whole meal bread, pasta and brown rice are fiber-rich, so they are good for your digestion, take longer for your body to process and keep you feeling fuller for longer. Make sure that the whole meal carbs make up less than a quarter of your meal, and fill your plate with protein and vegetables.

By making sure you have protein in every meal, you will feel fuller for longer and avoid blood sugar spikes leading to cravings. Try to keep protein as lean as possible to keep the calories down, such as fish (not breaded or battered), chicken (no skin), pork (fat trimmed), beef (steak or 5% fat mince) or eggs.


The hibernation diet is basically a diet that teaches us how we can manage weight while sleeping. Sounds too good to be true? In this diet, all you need to do is have a spoonful of honey before hitting the bed at night. This technique makes use of our biology. The honey fuels our liver which in turn speeds up the fat burning metabolism. Just like the name of this diet suggests, you can manage weight while hibernating.


Honey has also been known to improve the functioning of the digestive system. Eating a spoon or two of honey after dinner works wonders. Especially when you’ve had a large meal, having a spoon of honey helps in reducing the static weight accumulated in your digestive system.

You can also try our recipe of mixing cinnamon in honey and warm water to lose weight. We know this recipe sounds a bit bizarre but when honey and cinnamon are combined, they help you manage weight by reducing sweet cravings. Cinnamon has been known to stabilize the sugar levels in our blood. This prevents unnecessary storage of fat. Combine this with the benefits of honey and this recipe will have a positive impact on your goal of Weight management*.


While using honey for Weight management*:

  • Do not mix honey in boiling water
  • Do not cook honey at high temperatures

Doing any of the above mentioned acts will result in loss of nutrients because of the improper heat applied to honey.

While following any diet, drill one thing in your mind: Not eating will not help you manage weight. Eating right will!

A diet doesn’t always mean you have to starve yourself. Not eating enough food will definitely weaken your immune system as tonnes of calories, minerals and fibre will get accumulated in your system with no juice to burn it. Not eating when on a diet will only take you farther away from your goal of losing weight.
