Your weight loss diet is unarguably the most important part of your weight loss regime. To add further weightage to this statement, let us quote a popular adage, weight loss is 80 per cent diet and only 20 per cent exercise as to shed pounds, it is very important to shed unhealthy junk and processed foods from your daily meals and start eating healthy. Eating right and working out daily will then bear fruit within weeks and youll start noticing positive and motivating changes on the weighing scale.

For 35-year-old Siddharth Shinde along with eating right, his friends also came forth as major sources of motivation. When I decided to lose weight, I weighed a whopping 112 kg and everyday was a struggle for me. Id almost given up on any hopes to lose weight as well but my best friend and trainer Puneet Rao along with my friends and family members constantly motivated me to keep going on, he says.

Their encouragement led me to start tracking my daily stats and progress, which kept me going and helped me shed 40 kg with the help of the below strict diet plan and workout routine.

Early Morning: A protein smoothie made from peanut butter, protein powder, oats, almonds and one banana

Breakfast: 5 egg whites + a multi grain bread sandwich made with lettuce, tomato and onions

Lunch: 1 cup of brown rice + 250 gm chicken + Salad (100 gm) + 1 small bowl of dal

Evening Snack: 1 banana and 5 almonds

Dinner: 250 gm chicken + Salad (100 gm) + 1 small bowl of dal

I gave up on chocolates, fried foods, aerated drinks and all forms of sugar once I started following this diet.

Id workout 6 days a week for about an hour and half. This workout comprised weight training and an additional 30 minutes of cardio.

2. "More importantly, be kind to yourself. Your life is so much more than just the numbers on the scales. For me, it's about challenging myself to try to become the person I want to benot just in terms of fitness and health but in all walks of life.
