It is a well known fact that we lead very sedentary lives as compared to the early man. To make matters worse, we eat much worse as well. Our diet and lifestyle are far from the natural way of life that God had intended for us. The result is high incidence of lifestyle related diseases like obesity, hypertension, heart disease, diabetes and infertility. The only thing that can save us is taking care of our bodies and keeping in shape.

Here's another quick loss diet that can be used to lose a kilo in 1 week. But this diet is not sustainable. This means that it cannot be used successfully for long time. In my opinion, it can be used for a week after 4-5 weeks.

Egg Diet

B/F: 5-6 Egg Whites, eaten in any form. You can take a cup of milk or tea if you like.

Lunch: 1 Roti made of soya flour plus 1 egg white. Eat this roti with any vegetable of your choice except potato, carrot and peas.

Dinner: Soup, salad, vegetables. You may have 1-2 egg whites if you wish.

So in my last post I mentioned the loss of a kilo at the end of a 2 week period. Here's what I ate during those 2 weeks. I hope you will find this helpful:

Since I am a vegetarian, I faced a problem in upping my protein intake. I cud only have paneer and soy for that. But if u r a non vegetarian, you can enjoy more variety with fish and chicken as well.

Morning:

Immediately after wakng up, 2 glasses of warm water.
B/F: 1 or 2 soya+paneer parathas and a cup of tea. U may go for egg whites also.

Mid Morning: A small bowl of papaya/water melon/musk melon

In the previous entry, I mentioned about our protein needs. Over the years, researchers and dieters have discovered that a high protein/low carb diet is very helpful in losing weight. Though I am not completely unable to understand things like insulin resistance, role of simple & complex carbs etc, what I have learnt from personal experience is that reducing carbs does help.

Fried Tofu Chips

I saw this interesting recipe on lowcarbdiets.com. I like it a lot and so want to share...

They are very versatile! You can spice them up in many ways, use them instead of corn chips for nachos, make them sweet, or put toppings on them for appetizers or snacks.
