I have lost over 25 Kgs in the last 3 years. Its damn simple & effective, but I just can't resist food, so it took a long time
- Cut carbs.
- Switch to protein heavy food
- Eat only when your hungry
- Dont over eat, switch to smaller portions, spoons, plates
- Add a small amount of workout
- Sit-up straight, and take the stairs
- Keep track of what you eat, with an app or a diary
- Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar
- Keep your calorific input less than your output
- Keep educating yourself about how the body works with food. Keep up with the news.
This is what worked for me
I have a very heavy breakfast, 4 Egg whites, coffee, 4 breads and some form of meat. Lunch is 3 Rotis, 2 Sabzis and probably dahi. Also I end up eating something from outside in the evening/post lunch, 3-4 times a week. Though my dinner is mostly a soup, or something minimal. I dont eat anything major after 7:00PM.
PS: This is my ideal diet. Weekends I binge eat, though I try and balance my meals, like a very heavy dinner followed by eating the next evening. I dont starve myself, ever. Just eat when I feel hungry, like proper hungry. Also I always allow myself to cheat, every now and then. Thus the slow progress, else if you do this right, you can loose 500g to 1Kg a day, WITHOUT stretch marks, and WITHOUT loosing muscles.
7-Minute workout works great, as a lil bit of exercise. Keeps me in shape and muscles toned, but dont expect wonders.
MyFitnessPal is a great diet tracker, has mosts Indian foods and after a few months, you will be able to do it in your head.
Apart from this I take the stairs, try and move around, and generally be a lil extra active.
PS: and none of that whey protein shit, be a man.
