Indian weight loss diet:

You must believe what you are about to read. I have been running through several forms of exercise and diet programs and tried my best cutting down on calories and checked every week which plan really helped me lose pounds while I weighed myself.

Trust me people there is nothing known as universal diet plan that will help you lose extra pounds if you are trying to shed and nothing which can be the master diet plan for every type of human body. Losing weight depends on many factors like your activity level, age, gender, current weight, height, metabolic rate and your medical condition.

Our body is different from the other person who is right now most probably standing or sitting next to you. So, stop listening to others or following a strict routine by eating the same boring stuff every day and believing that it will make you proud someday, showing reduced weight on that weighing machine.

I am not trying to discourage you here but give you the secret that will work for every type of body. After all you will be the owner to decide how do you want to combine the ingredients and make yourself a special meal, as you get to play with macro and micro nutrients.

Well, you need to read carefully now on.

1. Never feel that you are demotivated when you see the scale reading same weight for a week or two or even three weeks.
2. Make sure you don’t skip you breakfast or any of the meals.
3. Try to stick to the same timing for your breakfast, lunch and dinner and even snacks.
4. Each of your meals should be 300 calories each other than snacks.
5. Your snacks will have to eaten twice: one should be after your breakfast and the other should be after your lunch each with 100-150 calories.
6. You can treat yourself with hot or cool green tea and herbal teas.
7. Very important to stay away from outside food. Avoid eating too much of starchy vegetables such as potatoes, cabbage, and cauliflower.
8. You can take multivitamins as supplements as prescribed by doctors.

Low calorie diet chart benefits:

1. Boosts metabolism and induces fat burning.
2. Provides well-balanced and nutritious diet (Vitamins, minerals, essential fats, and nutrients).
3. Keeps you active and motivated for your long day.

To start off let’s learn to calculate the BMR (Basal Metabolic rate) which helps to determine the calorie requirement for your body.  (http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/bmr_calculator.htm)

Another important fact is that you should work on your diet plan such that it creates calorie deficit in the body and at the same time ensure that you eat a balanced diet.

When you reduce your calorie intake way below what your body requires it triggers your brain to slow down metabolism and the body will start conserving fat and extract energy from muscles instead. This is what happens when you do not do your research work. So, it is very important to know your limit of calorie deficit. Some may have to reduce by 500 calories and for others even reducing 200 calories does the magic.

Now, when we are learning about calorie intake we need to focus on calorie burnt as well, as this is how the body will get the best benefits while you are trying to lose weight.

Food with low calories:

Simple carbs that is white for our eyes is what you would want to stay away from like white rice, white sugar, white flour, soda, fruit juices and baked goods as these make you fat.

Indulge on complex carbohydrates such as brown rice, wheat flour, beans (preferably black), lentils, legumes, fruits and vegetables allowing weight loss.

Proteins increases muscle mass. The egg whites and low-fat dairy are great for you. Focus on good sources of food to build your 1200 calorie diet plan and you are good to go.

Well now you would want to get another handy detail around the tiny healthy meal plan that often people talk about to be taken in short intervals. This is actually how you keep up the metabolic rate high and allows burning calories.
