Weight loss requires the right nutrition and lifestyle modifications. Aim for a weight loss of about 1.5 to 2kg a month to avoid regaining weight later.
-Start your day with a glass of warm water and add a pinch of cinnamon, black pepper powder and ½tsp of lemon juice to help boost your metabolism.
-Focus on balanced plate which includes filling half of your plate with green vegetable (sabzi, soup, salads, stir fry), 1/4th with protein sources (dals, pulses, legumes, low fat paneer, soyabean, tofu, egg whites, fish or lean chicken) and rest 1/4th of your plate with carbohydrates (prefer brown rice, multigrain roti, quinoa or dalia).
-Complete your meal with a glass of buttermilk or a bowl of curd / yogurt, as it helps in better digestion and maintain good gut bacteria.
-Try to incorporate walks post your meals for at least 15 to 20 minutes to help better digestion and avoid bloating after meals.
-Exercise plays an important role in weight loss as well, practice brisk walking, running, swimming or any sport of your choice for at least 30 to 45 minutes a day (5 to 6 times / week). You can start with a brisk walk for 20 minutes and gradually increase time over weeks.
-Along with diet and exercise, the right hydration (2-2.5l of water daily) and adequate sleep (8 to 9 hours) daily also contributes to weight loss journey.
