Do consult a healthcare professional first and get the required bloodwork or test (
thyroid,
vitamin profile) as advised done before your consultation.
-You can also maintain a food diary including details about meals consumed daily to help understand your daily calorie intake before your visit to a dietitian / nutritionist.
Here are some dietary recommendations you can follow:
-Have a glass of warm water with a pinch of cinnamon, black pepper powder, ½ tsp lemon juice to help you boost your metabolism.
-Try to follow the ideal plate method: fill half of the plate with fiber (green vegetable, soups, salads or stir fry); 1/4th plate with protein sources (dals, pulses, legumes, low fat paneer, soyabean, tofu, egg white, fish or lean chicken) and remaining 1/4th of your plate with preferably complex carbohydrates sources (brown rice, quinoa or dalia).
-Consume at least 2 - 2.5l of water daily and get 8 to 9 hours of sleep daily.
-Exercise regularly, preferably cardio (brisk walking, running, swimming, sport of your choice) for 30 - 45 minutes daily for 5 to 6 days a week.
