Some tips that helped me lose weight while having an ed and preventing dizziness, fatigue hair loss, and brain fog.

For some reason eating after 2pm has reduced my cravings alot.

Chewing sugar free gum helps alot. Most of them contain sorbitol for the sweet taste and consuming sorbitol in a large amounts can lead to it acting as a laxative.

Coffee. To keep you full and again another laxative. But it can only be had hot for it to work.

Dry fruits. They contain little to no calories and prevent you from feeling dizzy.

Some junk foods are considered empty caloric foods because they do not provide any sort of good calories that your body can use, which can lead to your body storing them. So if you can find a low empty calorie food, you can sometimes eat them to keep yourself full. I should note this might not work for some people but it has worked for me.

What also has worked for me is make the same lunch to take to school, which is really low cal and because it is my comfort food and it helps me not think about food and since I spend 9 hours at school, not counting the 40 mins it takes me to and fro from school, I'm able to spend an ample amount of time not eating and that works wonders

and if my parents asks me to eat, I just say I shared my friends' lunch and I'm full.

I m like to distract myself from eating everytime I have a craving by chugging alot of water, which is first good for your health and keeps your belly full for longer.

I take multivitamins to keep up with all the necessary nutrient needs.

I also drink like 30gms of protein powder with water to help with my muscles, and also because protein helps in losing calories.

Fruits. Especially watermelons. They are so full of water, a cup of watermelons contains 46 kcal and can make you feel full really fast and they are packed with the good kinds of carbohydrates, vitamin A, C, and B6, full of potassium and absolutely no fats or sodium.

Cucumbers. Again, water based with almost little to no calories to them.

If you are having hair loss problems, biotin is a great supplement for hair and so is protein.

Try as much as you can to make sure you're not alone too long. Because when nobody is there around you, you're more prone to giving into your urges. So if you see that in you, try being around as much people as possible.

Coconut water is a great drink to help balance your electrolytes and keep your nutrients to the level.

Coconut oil and if you're Indian, ghee is great for your hair because it makes your hair more healthy and strong. It would be best if you kept your hair oiled overnight before washing and not just a few hours.

If it helps, because it has worked with me, even though I look fat, I tell everyone around me about how little I eat or how healthy I eat. And sometimes if I have to eat with other people, I will only have half of the food I ordered and ask if anyone can finish it because I'm not used to having so much food. Or I already had such a big breakfast that this seems too much. The little lies, that make you feel accountable into not eating so much even when you're alone.

I like to avoid sodas and energy drinks even if they're diet soda or not, because they honestly have way too many calories that your body can retain.

Masturbating. It's weird but five mins of it can lead to losing 400kcals and that's worth a bit of something.

Studying. It doesn't feel like it but you use alot more calories when you're concentrating on your work.

Sitting up straight. The will of keeping your shoulders straight and your spine straight, it takes up alot of calories because your body is not used to you doing that.

Doing chores around the house that require you to be on your feet.

Drink alot of water. But not too much.

Make a habit of waking up at a certain time in the morning and sleeping at a certain time. This makes way for a more disciplined mind, and more will power and honestly, not only do you not get so much fatigue or dizziness, it cultivates good sleeping habit. Which is not only good for the body, it also helps you stay focused in classes.

There is a certain set of yoga called the suryanamaskar which promotes good cardiovascular health and if you do 12 sets of it everyday, helps in losing calories. And they are so simple and easy for you to do if you don't feel like you have much energy.

I don't have more but if I do, I'll reblog and add them.

Well that fast went to shit. In my defence, I couldn’t help it. I can’t explain without revealing my job, but let’s just say I needed to eat to work with the person I needed to work with today, so I agreed to some sauce and an Indian flatbread. I’ve also been out all day with no access to toilets so couldn’t get to my 2L water goal! Hopefully this doesn’t mess up the weight loss TOO much.

The Best Indian Diet Plan For Weight Loss

Today’s life has become so hectic that maintaining a good weight can be challenging. Still, there are other ways to shed weight than strictly following new diets or limiting calories. It's about creating a sensible, well-balanced diet you can follow that fits quite naturally into your daily life. In iVate Diet Consultation, you can find the best weight loss plan that is specifically designed for Indian food. Our weight loss diet plan is based on common Indian foods like daal and sabzi, which makes it simple to follow and effective.

Understanding the Basics of Weight Loss

One should grasp the fundamentals of weight loss before starting the diet plan. Basically, you have to eat fewer calories than you expend. Not all calories, in the meantime, are created equally. Your weight loss path will be much influenced by the source of your calories. More successful than one heavy in processed foods and carbohydrates is a diet abundant in whole foods, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

The Benefits of an Indian Diet

Indian food is known for having a lot of different tastes and being good for you. A lot of traditional Indian foods are naturally balanced because they have a balance of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Adding these things to your plan to lose weight can help you reach your goals without making you feel hungry.

The Best Indian Diet Plan for Weight Loss 

1. Breakfast: The Most Important Meal (8:00 AM - 9:00 AM) 

Beginning your day with a healthy meal shapes your attitude for the remainder of the day. These are some sensible breakfast ideas:

Moong Dal Chilla: Made from split green grams, Moong Dal is a savoury pancake high in protein and low in calories.

Oats Upma: Made with oats, veggies, and spices, it offers fibre and vital nutrients.

Idli with Sambar: Steamed rice cakes served with a lentil-based vegetable stew, offering a balanced mix of protein and carbohydrates.

2. Mid-Morning Snack: (11:00 AM) 

Between meals, include a small snack to maintain your metabolism active:

Fruit Salad: Seasonal fruits combined in a fruit salad supply vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

Buttermilk: This is a reviving beverage that helps digestion and maintains your fulness. 

3. Lunch: balanced and nutritious (1:00 PM - 2:00 PM) A lunch in balance will keep you active all through the day Use:

Daal and Sabzi: Combining lentil curry (dal) with a vegetable meal (sabzi) offers protein, fibre, and vital elements.

Brown rice or quinoa: These whole grains are healthier alternatives to white rice, offering more fibre and nutrients.

Roti: A mainstay of Indian cuisine, whole wheat flatbread is high in fiber and complicated carbs. 

Evening Snack: (4:00 PM-5:00 PM) Avoid unhealthy snacks by choosing nutritious options:

Sprout Salad: Combination of sprouted lentils, vegetables, and condiments; protein and fibre dense

Roasted Chickpeas: This one is my favourite go-to snack—a crunchy, protein punch that will leave you feeling satisfied. 

Dinner: Light and Healthy (7:00 PM - 8:00 PM)

Light Dinner: Light dinner, that is also before 2 to 3 hours of sleep, will ensure better and undisturbed digestion as well as sound sleep. 

Minestrone Soup: A rich and comforting soup filled with a selection of vegetables, which are packed full of the nutrients your body needs.

Grilled Paneer: Cottage cheese grilled with spices to add a lot of protein to it.

Salad: Fresh vegetables in lemon juice with spices.

Bedtime Snack: (9:00 PM-11:00 PM)

So, of course, if you are hungry right before bedtime, choose the middle ground:

Warm Milk with Turmeric: A traditional Indian drink popular for its anti-inflammatory properties and boosting good sleep.

Eat Your Greens”—isn’t this your mother’s or grandmother’s favourite phrase at lunch or dinner? To some extent, most of us kind of hate greens, but leafy green vegetables are full of vitamins and minerals and low in calories.

Not to forget, they also prevent heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, and mental decline. In short, leafy greens are a must in your everyday diet. Therefore, down below, we have listed the 10 healthiest leafy green vegetables.

Spinach – Easily available in the market, spinach contains vitamin A, vitamin K, manganese and folate. It can be used in various types of dishes, such as cottage cheese, salad and more. Spinach is great for pregnant women who are going through their first trimester.
