Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for providing the information.
Your Body mass index, based on the height and weight mentioned by you is 30.2 Kg/m2. Indicating that you are in overweight category.
The target is not a huge figure, and can be easily achieved with a balanced diet plan and regular physical activities.
Increasing the physical activities, helps you burn more calories and hence supports and accelerates the weight loss rate by increasing the metabolism.. At the same time reducing the total calorie intake ensures that the existing fat reserves are used for energy production.
Reduce the total calorie intake. Avoid too sweet and starchy foods like sugar, sweets, refined and polished rice, etc
Add plenty of fibrous food to make up the volume, include raw salads, lettuce, sprouts, whole grains etc.Add more vegetables to the diet.
Saturated forms like pure ghee, cream, butter etc. are fattening. It is therefore advisable to prefer the vegetable oils in limited quantities.
The heavy pulses and legumes should be preferably taken for lunch. Eg. Take rajmah, black channa etc. for lunch. There should be at least one portion of fruit every day in the diet.
Consume low fat dairy products, and avoid butter etc. The meals should be small and frequent, with plenty of fluids. Take plenty of fluids, water, coconut water, juices will be helpful.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
