Tips for healthy weight loss:
Before we move on to the 7 days vegetarian diet for weight loss, Let us first see some Important tips that will help you in losing 5- 10 kgs weight easily .
-
Balanced diet:
Each and every meal must have all food groups in balanced amounts. Avoid having only protein based or only carb based menu in 1 meal. Include plenty of colourful vegetables, protein sources like pulses and milk products, complex cereals and appropriate amounts of fats.
-
Do not skip meals:
Skipping meals starves the body and thus you end up eating more food in the next meal. This leads to weight gain instead of weight loss.
-
Eat less but more times in a day:
Divide your meals in to 5 – 6 small meals. Do not consume only 3 major meals. Eat a small snack in between your 3 major meals namely breakfast, lunch and dinner. Dividing the meals will balance the regular supply of nutrients in the body.
-
Chew slowly:
Chew your food thoroughly. Chewing sends hunger satiating signal to the brain. This allows a person to identify that there is no more hunger and to stop eating. With fast chewing the signal to the brain distorts or is delayed, making us eat more than required.
-
Select home cooked foods:
You are aware of the ingredients used in the food. You can always modify the high calorie recipes into low calorie ones with simple techniques. Outside food is more than single portion size, high calorie and also contains preservatives.
-
Exclude refined foods:
A simple restriction of sugar in the daily diet plan leads to a major difference. Sugar in excess leads to storage of food in the body in form of fats. Not only sugar but other refined flours like maida also leads to weight gain.
-
High fiber:
Select whole grains, fruits and vegetables. High fiber diet prevents extra absorption of unwanted calories. Fiber also has a high satiety level, which encourages the brain to eat less.
-
Antioxidant rich water:
Consume antioxidant rich lemon water or cinnamon water or jeera water. This increases the water intake along with balancing the vitamins and minerals requirement throughout the day. The vitamins and antioxidants in the infused water detoxifies the body and keeps you fresh whole day. Read – Top detox water recipes .

Hey! I came across your blog randomly and found it really informative. I am a 22-year old south-Indian girl, 5’5 inches tall and around 56 kilos.. My appetite is quite controlled and i don’t eat too much of junk. I work for an MNC and i have a sort of sedentary life. I have some fat around my thighs and i wanna cut down that and get an overall toned body. I am a vegetarian. Can you please suggest a time lined diet-plan with south-Indian food options and also some specific exercises for thighs(I have been doing a bit of yoga but didn’t find much of a change)?
Thanks in advance,
Harinee
