First things first, a seven-day crash diet or crash dieting in general cannot and will not help you lose weight. Crash dieting basically forces you to cut down your food intake very drastically. This pattern of eating/dieting is extremely unhealthy.

Now, that this point is through (hopefully), wed like to throw light on a dietary approach that can and will help you lose weight a diet made in accordance with your macros and lifestyle as it did for 24-year-old Ishit Vyas, who created one for himself after realising the perils of crash dieting.

Vyas tells us that in 2016 he realised that he was in a terrible shape. Back in November 2016, post my birthday actually, I was looking through some pictures, my friends and I had clicked to share on social media when I couldnt even find a single presentable photo of myself to share online. This one incident motivated me to lose weight and get fit.

I weighed 97 kgs at this point, and commenced on my weight loss journey by going on crash diet but that didnt work out for more than a couple of days. I had started getting major hunger pangs soon after I began. So, I made a diet plan for myself considering the nutritional value of foods and their relation with my body.

"Below, I have highlighted this diet plan. Also, I am a vegetarian. So, the diet plan that helped me lose 30 kgs and trim from 97 kgs to 67 kgs was 100 per cent vegetarian."

"My diet comprised a lot of boiled food, fruits, soups and juices. To break it down further, these 7 food items comprised my daily diet:

1. Boiled mixed pulses

2. Boiled mixed vegetables

3. Boiled mixed dals

4. Juice of different boiled vegetables (The juice of bottle gourd + tomato helps speed the process of weight loss)

5. Fruits (Except some like mangoes, which can actually help increase your weight)

6. Roasted/raw peanuts/chickpeas - for when you get hungry during the day

7. A small packet of oats

I used to eat boiled vegetables, boiled mixed beans and boiled mix dal and oats for all my meals, all rotationally, of course. For breakfast, I used to eat one khakra and a cup of milk with honey.

I used to get done with my last meal between 6:00-8:00 pm. The proportion of this meal wasnt fixed, except for oats. For the case of oats, I used to consume one serving pack of oats, which is readily available in the market. I also used to also drink a glass of mixed juice made from boiled bottle gourd and tomatoes.

To make everything listed above tasty, add some onion, garlic, spices, salt, lemon or Maggi masala according to your taste. You can also include curd as an option or drink buttermilk. After 3 months of following this meal plan, after I found a visible difference in my weight, I started taking one cheat meal every month.

Notably, except following this meal plan religiously, Vyas would go for a 5 km-long brisk walk daily to help get in shape.

Walking is the best form of free physical exercise that burns calories and belly fat. It also helps preserve lean body muscle. Read more about its benefits here.

Says Vyas, my daily schedule would comprise going for walks on 3 consecutive days and then taking a day to rest. After losing a considerable amount of weight, I started doing planks. Planks helped a lot to reduce belly fat.
