Tip 1: Do not take advice from your colleagues or neighbors who themselves are clueless about food and food habits. There are as many opinions as there are people. You need some pro tips ( this can be the last tip instead of the first too )

Tip 2: Eat well and Eat right : One needs to start eating the right kind of food and at the right intervals throughout the day.

Food is fuel. You wouldn’t starve your car out of petrol and expect it to run efficiently would you? In a similar way, successful weight loss is not about “starving” and neither is it about “feasting”. It is about Nourishing your body with the healthy, local, seasonal, high fibre food which will help you lose weight. Best way is to eat a wide variety of enough food to meet your body’s needs. Include plenty— of fruits and veggies through out the day. And no, unfortunately, potato chips don’t count as veggies!

Tip 3: The only way to lose it is to “move it move it” as all the animals from Madagascar say.

Note: Running to the refrigerator is not considered exercise nor is moving within your office premises.

Tip 4 : Sustainable weight loss will always be a by-product of a Good Eating Pattern and Healthy Lifestyle.

Stay away from fad diets — they are extreme and not sustainable. The results are quick but the effect is not long lasting and it doesn’t take long to go back to square one.

Its not that diabetes, heart disease and obesity runs in your family. Its that no one runs in your family. So find a sport or hobby you like (Binge Watching movies and Reading Books is not included), and if you don’t like any sports go for a walk but please don’t enter a dhaaba by mistake. If you are too lazy to go out then do Suryanamskars/ Skipping/Spot Jogging at home. If you dont know how to do any of this then Google Nani Zindabad.

Tip 5: “I Know Exercise is very essential but i don’t have the time.” If only that precious time was taken into account while using twitter/ whatsapp or Facebook and BTW How do we manage to Eat, Sleep, Poop, Urinate in spite of being short on “Time”. What reading is to the mind, exercise is to the body. If you skip exercise don’t expect results.

For the fresher’s start with 15 mins and gradually increase the timing.

Note:15 mins is not short so don’t get happy. If you think one minute goes by really fast it means you’ve never tried planking.
