1. Include soups in your diet, specially in dinners,, it will help in weight management and will also keep you hydrated because water goes in feed and therfore being hydrated is really essesntial.

Hi, Balanced diet with moderate activity should help. Every 100ml milk secretion leads to burning of 85 Kcals. Do not fall prey to very strict dieting as it will affect your milk supply. Weight is a sum total of Bone, Water, Muscle and fat. You need to lose fat to get healthy.
Eat small frequent meals every 2 -3 hours to improve metabolism and reduce fat.
Have whole grain cereals like millets (Bajra,Jowar,Ragi) and pulses and sprouts.
Eat protein rich diet egg whites, Sprouts (especially post workout, it will help in building muscle) and improve metabolism.
Include healthy essential fat in your diet like nuts - almonds and walnuts, vegetable seeds like pumpkin, watermelon, sunflower seeds, etc.
Eat fiber rich diet, it will help to gain early satiety and help you feel full - include fruits like citrus varieties, Papaya and leafy vegetables in your diet.
Eat heavy breakfast, as 40% of dayâs energy comes from breakfast. Moderate lunch and light dinner with maximum fibre and proteinâs.
Avoid junk food, oily food, processed or canned foods.
Drink a glass of water every hour daily to optimally hydrate the body.
Exercise 40-45 minutes 4-5 times a week. Brisk walking, Aerobics, Jogging, Skipping or any outdoor activity can be done.
Sleep of 7-8 hours will help in releasing all toxins and reduce bloating thus will lead to weight loss.
