1 Month Diet Plan - Indian Style

1 Month Diet plan 

First things first, If everything with you is fine your weight gain is due to lethargy, wrong dietary habits and erratic routine. So When you go on a diet make sure that whatever plan you follow it must be timed right as well.

You must wake up latest by 8:00 ( that’s for the late risers, even I used to wake up by 10 or 11). This is the most important thing in your routine because the body has its own clock and you shouldn't mess with it.

 This diet is split in 4 weeks period with the diet changing every week.

 Before starting the diet weigh yourself and write it down somewhere. This way you know where you started and you feel good to see the scales going down.

Some things you need to follow this diet:

No salt after 7:30

No aerated drinks. Yes that includes even the diet version.

Restrict mango and banana

Restrict potato and rice.

No artificial juices as well.

Half an hour of aerobic exercise daily.

If you want to join a gym good enough. But if due to any reason maybe time or money constraint you can’t join a gym. All you need is a comfortable pair of shoes to do some aerobics, a skipping rope to do at least 500 skips (5 sets of 100 skips and increasing it as you go). 

1.5 -2 kgs dumbbells for toning your upper body. Just these basic things and you are set.

20 mins of breathing exercise. ( I’m talking about Baba Ramdev's pranayam)

Without further ado I present you with the Indian diet.

Week 1

8:00 am (as soon as you wake up) – 2 glasses of methi seeds water ( soak 1tsp of methi seeds in 2 glasses of water. Strain out the methi seeds and drink the water. Helps a lot in water retention and bloating) 5 soaked almonds with the skin. 1 kali mirch u don’t have to chew it just swallow it down.

9:00 am – 1 toast (brown bread) with amul lite butter / hung curd dressing/ salad and chutney

11:30 am – one fruit of your wish

1:30 pm – A small plate of salad before starting the meal. The fibers in the salad fills u up which in turn prevents false hunger that makes u overeat.1 bran chappati (mix wheat flour and wheat bran in equal proportions.) with 1 bowl ( normal sized katori ) of dal. Generally at my place dal is cooked at night so I used to store the dal made at night for the other days lunch, u can do the same.

5:00 pm – 1cup of milk or tea with 2 biscuits(just marie, no other biscuits)/ 1 small bowl bhuna channa/ 1bowl popcorn ( not the buttery act 2 ones but air popped popcorns without the butter)

7:30 pm –A small plate of salad before starting the meal. 1 bran chappati with 1 k vegetable ( any vegetable not rajmah, channa or kadhi)

8:30 pm – one fruit of your wish

When this week ends, weigh yourself again. I’m sure u must have lost weight. I lost 1.8kgs in the first week itself. U lose the max in this week because you lose all the water weight and the bloating is gone. The further weeks you are surely going to lose weight but it won’t be this much.

Now to the next week.

Week 2

8:00 am (as soon as you wake up) – 2 glasses of tulsi leave water ( soak 5 tulsi leaves in 2 glasses of water. Strain out the leaves and drink the water.) 5 soaked almonds with the skin. 1 kali mirch.

11:30 am – one fruit of your wish
