Weight loss story: "I gave up white rice and potatoes for 4 months to lose 20 kilos" | The Times of India – Times of India

It is aptly said that weight loss is 80% dieting and 20% working out. I never myself followed any fancy, strict dieting or eating pattern, but just made sure that I replaced all my foods with homemade meals, cooked food in less oil and mostly had healthier versions. During my journey, I also ensured that I did not skip any meals. On the contrary, I really enjoyed my dieting style.

My breakfast: I used to start my day with lukewarm water+ one tablespoon honey+ lemon and 3 dates.

Then, I would have a cup of lukewarm milk (without cream or sugar). If I was hungry, I would have poha/upma/daliya/moong chilla.

My lunch: I totally stopped having wheat flour chapatis and started to have jowar rotis (1 and a half), 2 bowls of daal, a big bowl of vegetable salad and whatever vegetable curry was made at home. I also stopped consuming white rice and potato consumption.

My dinner: I made sure to finish dinner by 7 p.m., no matter what schedule or appointments I had. It used to be mostly light, such as oatmeal, moong dal khichdi with plenty of vegetables in it (but did not include rice in the preparation), paneer burji or tikki (100 grams of paneer) or any legumes or idlis.

Pre-workout meal: It is the same as my morning drink.

Post-workout meal: Apple cider vinegar followed by sattu drink.

Low-calorie meals I swear by: Oats/idli/moong dal chilla/any paneer dish.

I hardly ever had any cheat meals during the journey.

Apart from this, here are a few basic diet rules that I made sure to follow:

-Stopped consumption of white sugar or any sugary drinks or ice cream

-Reduced my salt intake

-Stop having any sort of packaged or outside food

-Portion control while you eat is a must

-Drink plenty of water (3-4 litres per day)

-Complete ur last meal (dinner ) of the day by 7 pm or latest by 8 pm.

-Eat plenty of green vegetables, plenty of salads in both major meals.

-Reduce Carbohydrates and fats, increase protein intake and whole grain.

-Never keep yourself starved or skip any meal, it will only add to ur irritability, instead have some healthy eating snacks
