Brief Answer:
Carefully planned weight control is suggested under supervision
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. If your earlier weight is 110 kg then losing 2 to 3 kgs in 3 weeks is acceptable after following an exercise schedule. This roughly translated to 2 percent of your existing body weight and is normal.
2. A word of caution is that please discuss your workouts with your trainer in detail and draw up a systematic plan to get back in to shape.
3. For a height of 193 cms the ideal weight should be less than 93 kilos. Please plan with your therapist and you might achieve your goal in 12 to 16 weeks. Please maintain a regular supply of nutrients and essential vitamins.
Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek

Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing back with an update.
1. Having nothing in breakfast is not a good decision.
A sample daily diet chart is as follows
Early Morning
A cup of tea/ milk with 2 biscuits of your choice
Breakfast
2 parathas with curd or 2 plain rotis with paneer or 2 idlis with chutney/sambhar or 1 bowl of upma or oats
Mid morning
Soup or a whole fruit (apple or guava)
Lunch
Salad with rotis (2 to 3) or rice (1 bowl) with dal/ sambhar and a cup of vegetable. Occasionally you can add some light fries in lunch. You can add two vegetables every day.
Afternoon
Tea/ juice with 2 biscuits
Dinner
Same as in lunch with slight variation. Dinner should be lighter than lunch
Milk after dinner
You might add eggs, two pieces of fish, chicken or mutton every alternate day.
You might like to discuss more on the above diet suggestion. Please try and maintain total daily food under 1800 kcal diet. Avoid over eating and do not do alcohol or smoking.
