This Kerala diet plan for weight loss will change the way you look at diets. Weight Loss Diet need not necessarily be a boring affair. You could plan out an interesting weight loss plan for yourself which suits your palate. The key necessity here is awareness of what you eat. Hence I planned this 1200 calories Kerala diet plan for weight loss especially for my readers who love Kerala cuisine.
When one is leading a very busy life, awareness of what you eat is pushed to the back burner. Realization dawns pretty late when you have already piled on the kilos. Therefore, a written plan or a personalized diet chart is a good idea to follow. Apart from a diet chart, a food diary (this could be a small scribbling pad that travels with you in your handbag wherever you go to jot down whatever you have consumed every single day) will go a long way in keeping track of where your diet plan is headed. Keep reading to know more about this 1200 calories Kerala diet plan for weight loss.

Some Tips To Keep Your Weight In Check:
- Never skip or delay your breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day after 8 hours or more of no food. College-going and working children tend to skip breakfast completely. They do not realize that this will make them tired and cranky during the day, and will make them overeat later in the evening, when they have plenty of time at their disposal, especially while watching TV, etc.
- If you want to go shopping within a 1 km radius, give your car or bike some rest, just walk. Make walking an enjoyable experience. Wear comfortable shoes. Look at kids playing. Listen to birds chirping (if you are lucky enough to be living in a locality where some birds are left!!).
- If you normally sleep at 11 p.m., have your dinner at least by 8 p.m. (if possible by 7 p.m.)
- Drink plenty of water. Sometimes, when you feel that you are hungry and reach out for your snack box, stop for a while, and check if it is just thirst, and a glass of water is all you need.
- If you are going out for a party, eat something healthy at home, so that you will not be famished by the time you reach there and you make wrong food choices.
- Load your fridge and kitchen boxes with healthier options, such as fruits and healthy nuts.
- When you are feeling low, try not to stay at home, just take a walk. By the time you get home, you will definitely feel better, at the same time, you would have saved yourself from that notorious emotional binging!

Hi Payal,
I am 41 Year old and my weight is 94Kg , will the above diet will help me to reduce weight. Past 17 years I did many dieting and will lose few kgs and gained back more weight.
Hi Asha,
the key to weight loss lies in identifying the reason behind your excess weight which can be hormonal issues , less sleep , eat too less , stress, ofcourse eating the wrong foods and not working out … so if you are not losing weight or gaining every thing back , means you are missing out on something that really matters to your body. Hence i recommend that instead of following diets from the internet , you should take a personalized diet plan so that a dietician can analyze what is wrong where and then accordingly plan a suitable lifestyle for you. We can do that for you …
