Lost 1 kg in a week without exercise

By Amaleena

One major concern which we all share at some point or the other is HOW TO LOST WEIGHT!

For the past 4 months my weight has been increasing at a steady rate. I gained about 8 kgs! I was depressed and whenever I went for dining out, I ate halfheartedly :(

I don't get time for going to the gym and morning walks are also difficult for me as I am a late riser.So after a lot of research I found a diet plan. 

But of course, diet plans, as we all know are quite difficult to follow for foodies like me. So I tweaked it a little and now after a week of the diet, I lost a kg without a single exercise. Yippee!

So I am going to share my diet plan with you and later on, one by one will share with you the low calorie recipes I invented while following this diet plan.

Early Morning - 1 glass lukewarm water with lemon juice of 1 lemon 

                             (you can skip this if you have a tendency of acidity, like me)

                              +

                           1 cup of black tea or black coffee  

                           2 biscuits (Marie biscuits or cream cracker)

                        

Breakfast -  2 hard boiled eggs + 2 slices of brown bread 

                         or

                   2 scrambled eggs + 1 slice brown bread + 1 cup skimmed milk

                         or

                  1 plate brown bread upma / oatmeal upma

                         or

                  1 bowl muesli / oatmeal with skimmed milk + 1 scrambled egg

                      (I have lactose allergy so I take  yogurt instead of milk)

Mid Morning - 1 small bowl of fruit salad

                            or

                        1 banana/ 1/2 cup melon/ 20 grapes

                            or 

                        1 medium sized apple 

                            or

                        Buttermilk or Lassi

                         +

             100 gms chicken / 1 bowl raita / 1 bowl dal

                        

Early evening -  1 Cucumber chopped / any salad

                                 or 

                            Juice of fruit made  at home 

                          (Packed fruit juices contain a lot of sugar, so STAY AWAY)

Evening - 1 bowl boiled chana / 1 bowl muri / 4 Cream cracker biscuits

Tips:

Try to have your lunch within 2pm. The earlier the better.

Use the staircase rather than the lift.

Try walking rather than taking a rickshaw to the main road :)
