Weight Loss Buddy

Welcome Prathiba,

Please post your diet on daily basis. Drinks lots of water..add more salads in your diet.

But I would say start slowly as you are still nursing. please Don't rush yourself, take baby steps and watch what you eat..as it my effect your LO too..

Just cut down your meals into 4-6 mini meals..in between have lots of HOT water..have more fruits and veggies. If possible eat rice once in a day preferably at lunch and start having roti at night. Finish of your dinner before 7 PM. Please see the below. Try to include the below food in your diet and gradually cut down. Don't rush yourself as you have LO with 3 months..I would say before you go on diet wait until your LO is 5 months old. Meanwhile try having healthy food.

Hello All,

I have been reading your posts from a long time and am very very impressed with the motivation that you all possess.

My biggest problem is laziness and lack of motivation.I am a nursing mother of a 9 month old baby and need to loose a lot of weight.I wish to join this group with the hope that you can help me help myself :).Based on your experience would you be able to chart out a regime for me with regards to diet and exrecise?

Thanks a lot in advance

I as a practicing doctor was amused by the discussion about weight loss.It is good to know how many of us want to lose weight though no one listens when we advise them not to gain weight in the first place.
Once you have gained weight and want to lose it.you certainly can.
You must understand that women gain weight during pregnancy which is natural.It is to prepare them to feed the baby later.
But what happens after that,i am writing this in Indian context,is that the new mother is fed all the fattening foods and not to do anything,forget regular exercise
Once you want and have decided to lose it,remember,you can not lose weight by eating something but by not eating so many things!
As weight loss program has to be individualized,you should consult a dietitian as the diet varies according to your age,weight,amount of work you do so on and so forth,and if you don't get to talk to a dietitian go to your trusted family physician and they can certainly guide you.
Beware,weight loss methods can never be generalized.
Good luck

Dear priya suresh,

Avoid taking the cider vinegar, try to reduce your weight naturally.
1.your breakfst is too light, have glass of hotwaterwhen you wake up, then for your
breakfast have it heavy like fruits, then oats then something else.
2. lunch have chappati and little rice and curry.
3. an hourbefore lunch have your salad it iwll fill you up.
4. 3 hours after lunch have a fruit like apple.
5. dinner have light like soup and then aftran hour have an apple

try to drink 2 litres of hot water throughout the day and if you fell like snacking have a handful of peanuts, include a lot ofgreens in you diet

Most important execise and be focused and do not give up.

Dear perfectly_perfect,

avoid curds in the evening, have a bowl of home made veggie soup, it will fill you up, have curds during the day, include more salads and fruits in your diet, also drink hot water though out the day 2litres.

hi all,

I read in Aval Vikatan some simple exercises, it really workes. Try that with a controlled diet.

Bye,

Dhivya.

Hi Dhivyasri,

Even i have read so many magazines. U will really go mad on seeing all those articles. In some article I read that you shouldn't even consume milk, as human doesn't have the capacity to digest cow's milk!!!!
If you read 4 or 5 magazines you have to come to a conclusion that u cant consume any kind of food. Yes, I do agree, they publish some exercise, yoga posts etc.. Following that amone you can never reduce weight.
This forum is really really motivating. Just believe me, its just been 3 days I m following the diet tips that these people shared here. I m really feeling very lite. And I m sure i can continue this for ever.

rgds,
krits
