Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
According to your height and weight, your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 27.3 kg/m, which is Overweight; the normal BMI range is from 18.5-24.9 kg/m. Ideal body weight for your height should be from 65 kg to 70 kg.
Initially you can have a target of losing half kilo in a week, which will aid in reducing 2 kg in a month. Gradual reduction of weight will help not to regain the lost weight.
I would like to make little changes in your eating pattern, so that you can reduce your weight in healthier way:
• Restrict rice or any preparation of rice to only one meal in a day.
• Your breakfast can be idli’s or dosa with sambar, avoid with coconut or groundnut chutney.
• Try to have Green tea without sugar as a mid-morning snack along with some hi-fiber biscuits; Green tea helps in fat not being stored in the body and also aids in weight loss.
• Lunch – (you need to avoid rice) Chapathi or Pulkas - 3 no's can be taken along with dhal, vegetables and skimmed buttermilk, include some salads as well.
• During evening, have a very light snack like boiled corn or any fruit or a katori of sprouts or two slices of wheat bread sandwich.
• Have an early dinner before 8 pm, avoid rice and any preparations made from rice during this time, have either roti / chapathi made with wheat flour or jowar flour without oil,or any preparation made out of ragi or Broken wheat along with vegetables and dhal, include salads also.
• Bedtime - a fruit or a glass of skimmed milk or buttermilk can be taken.
Fruits like Banana, Seethaphal, Sapota, Avocado, Watermelon, Mango and all Root vegetables (except radish, turnip, carrot) are to be avoided in the diet.
• There should be a gap of 1.5 hrs- 2 hrs time intervals before you go to bed, after dinner.
• Chicken or fish can be taken once in a week, preferably in a curry form without coconut or cashew nut used for the preparations. Boiled egg white is preferred rather than whole egg.
• Keep yourself much hydrated; take at least 3-4 liters of water every day.
• Use more of fiber XXXXXXX foods in the diet, like raw vegetables, sprouts, Whole legumes like channa, Rajma.etc
• Take six small meals instead of three big meals which are equally time spaced.
• Include green Leafy vegetables at least twice in a week.
• Try to do any form physical activity on a regular basis.
Along with diet modifications, a minimum 30-45 minutes brisk walk or physical activity of moderate intensity which improves overall health.
Hope you will try to follow the diet.
Best of wishes for success - Start today!!
