Hi XXXXXXX

According to your height and weight , your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 30.6 kg/m ,which is considered as Grade I Obesity,whereas the normal BMI range is from 18.5-24.9 kg/m. Ideal body weight for your height should be between 73 kg to 78 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.

To start the day, eat a heathly breakfast with all essential nutrients, I would suggest you to have Oats with skimmed Milk without sugar or jaggery, but with any one fruit in the morning for all 5 working days, and take idli or dosa on weekends. Try to avoid oily fried foods like vada, poori etc and also chutney made out of coconut or groundnut, instead choose sambar or onion / tomato / mint / Coriander chutney.
Take XXXXXXX tea, (which helps in reducing fat) without sugar as a mid-morning snack along with some hi-fiber biscuits.
For lunch, restrict on rice, take three Roti without oil , with vegetables and dhal along with a glass of Skimmed Buttermilk. Include salads on a regular basis to increase the fiber content in the diet and avoid sweets, pappad, pickles which are high in calories.
During evening, have a very light snack like boiled corn or any fruit or two slices of wheat bread sandwich or low fat fruit flavoured yogurt.
Have an early dinner before 8 pm, avoid rice and any preparations made from rice like Idli, dosa during this time, have either roti made with wheat flour or jowar flour without oil, along with vegetables and dhal, include salads also.
Bedtime - a fruit can be taken.Fruits like Banana, Seethaphal, Sapota, Avocado, Watermelon, Mango and all Root vegetables (except radish, turnip, carrot) to be avoided in the diet.
There should be a gap of 1.5 hrs- 2 hrs time interval before you go to bed, after dinner.
Chicken or fish can be taken twice weekly, preferably in a curry forn without coconut used for the preparations. Boiled egg white is preferred rather than whole egg.
Keep yourself hydrated, take at least 3-4 litres of water every day.
You can modify your physical activity since your body is used to the same form of exercise. Try to change to either jogging, or running with some simple abdominal exercise along with your daily routine physical activity.

Hope you will try to follow the diet.
Best of wishes for success - Start today!!

Regards
Grace Abraham
