Reduce Weight without fasting.

3. Fidget. People who drum their fingers or bounce their knees burn at least 500 calories a day! That adds up to losing a pound a week.
4. Keep a small squeeze ball with you and work out your hands frequently during the day. It’s one of the few exercises you can do anytime. You’ll build up themuscles in your hands--and muscle, whether in your hands or legs, burns a lot of calories.
5. Don’t starve yourself. Cutting too many calories can backfire in more ways than one. Try to subsist on morsels and your metabolism will slow so much that you’ll not only stop losing weight, but you’ll be lucky if you can peel yourself off the couch.

6. Put five rubber bands around your wrist every morning. That’s how many 16-ounce bottles of water

you should drink during the day to rev your metabolism, helping burn more calories. At least, that’s

what German researchers found when they had 14 participants drink about 17 ounces of water. The

volunteers’ metabolic rate--or how quickly they burned calories--jumped a third within 10 minutes of

drinking the water and remained high for another 30 or 40 minutes. The researchers estimated that over

a year, increasing your water consumption by 1.5 liters a day (about 50 ounces) would burn an extra

17,400 calories, or about five pounds’ worth. Since much of the increased metabolic rate is due to the

body’s efforts to heat the water, make sure the water you’re drinking is icy.

7. Exercise outside. Maybe it’s the fresh air, maybe it’s the sunshine, but

something about exercising in the open makes you walk or run faster than

doing the same exercise in the gym.

8. Turn up the heat with hot peppers. Some studies show that very spicy foods

can temporarily increase your metabolism. Gourmet groceries often stock a

dozen different kinds of peppers. Buy one a week and practice adding some to

various meals. Spice up your scrambled eggs with minced jalapeno, add a

little fire to your beef stew with half a diced banana pepper, or pull together a

spicy jambalaya (using turkey sausage and lots of veggies).

9. Eat five small meals throughout the day instead of three large meals. You

might think you should eat less often if you want to lose weight, but that's

just not the case. By eating every few hours, you keep your metabolism fired

up and ensure it doesn't slow between meals in order to hang on to calories. A

"meal" can be as small as a cup of soup.

10. Sip a couple of cups of coffee throughout the day. Studies find that the

caffeine in coffee increases the rate at which your body burns calories. This

does not mean, however, that you can order one of those fancy calorie-

packed frappuccinos! And skip the java if it makes you toss and turn at night.

Before starting your dieting pattern, one has to collect data on all food stuff taken during a day. Have a diary and note down the item, quantity and time of taking even water. (Measure water in tumblers.) In the night, before going to bed, calculate approx. Cal for the food items you had during the day.

You will astonish to see that definitely you would have crossed 2500 to 3000k.cals.
Now you decide how much you should take and what you have to take.

1. Take 5 small meals instead of 3 large meals.
2. Half of each meal should be raw veg. or fruit.
3. Do not take more than 200 k.cal. of Carbohydrate per day through rice/wheat.
4. If you follow water therapy take light and early dinner.
5. Get one diet scale to measure the food quantity you take.
6. Generally
· 1 Table spoon means 15 gms
· 1 Tea spoon means 5 gms
· 1 Cup means 200 gms.
· 1 gm. Fat means 9 k.cal.
· 1 gm Carbohydrate means 4 k.cals.
· 1 gm Protein means 4 k.cals

If you eat a piece of cake, which contains say 300 calories, it requires approximately only 150 calories for it to be digested. The remaining calories add on as fat. If on the other hand you bite into a cucumber, which is a negative calorie food (approximately 20-25calories), it will require more than 50 calories for it to be digested. This means the excess 25 calories will come from the body’s fat deposits. Cucumber is a low calorie food (negative calorie food).

One thing that must be remembered is that any high caloried dish can be converted into a low calorie one by less oil in the preparation without compromising the taste. When making dal for instance, instead of frying the onions, tomatoes, ginger and garlic, add them to the dal when you boil it. Then for the seasoning you can use very little oil, whether it is jeera or rai. Instead of frying, boil and roast foods.
