A weight loss success story

Hi Neha,

Great news about your weight loss. Try having half ladoo initially and then train yourself with complete NO. Usually with sweets it is if you have one bite then you will have the whole piece. So best is decide a day probably weekend and have one ladoo and enjoy guilt free.

If you have an urge to eat sweets here are few substitutes.

1. Custard with lots of fruits and sweetener. Have only a small bowl.

2. A piece of jaggery.

3. Dried apricots (khumani) or kishmish.

Every day try resisting yourself. Take it one day at a time. Sweets are still there and you can have them whenever you want. So tell yourself this and then also tell yourself that you are training yourself to resist sweets. Train yourself one day at a time.

If you say a complete NO forever then its a mistake, your urge will increase. That is why tell yourself its not forever, its just a training period to come out of sweet addiction.

Here are the steps for you.

1. Being satisfied with sweets with a bite or half quantity. Once you have mastered this.

2. Train yourself to a complete NO and restrict your sweet intake to 1-2 times a week. This is only till your weight loss, once you have reduced sufficient amount of weight you yourself will be disciplined enough to enjoy sweets in limited amount.

Visualize yourself in pretty small dresses and don't let sweets ruin it for you. They are no worth it.

You are doing great, imagine 1 kgs in a week, so in a month you can loose more. SO fight it like a warrior and win.

 

Great Neha, Remember, No sweets and no junk food is worth more than fitting in your old jeans and suits.

 

Dear Leens,

Welcome to the thread. The very first thing that you need to do is stand in front of the mirror and accept that you are a Good Looking person.

4. For yourself, can you boil rice 3 times and drain. This will reduce the starch content of the rice. Make sure you have it with lots of veggies and daal. The way to cook it is, boil rice in lots of water once and drain, then again boil rice and drain, repeat till the rice is well cooked. This kind of rice is not suitable for kids, as starch and nutrients are drained out. But it is a great source of fiber and people who are on diet can enjoy it this way.

5. Start by reducing the quantity slightly, be it sweets or rice or coconut and gradually train yourself to eat little of the fattening stuff and be happy.

Dear PMan16,

Nice to hear from you. Cabbage soups sounds bad, boiled cabbage always tastes yucks. Why don't you give tomato-oats and vegetable soups a try. You might like them.

Water intake is great. I have read that best time to have fruits is early in morning on empty stomach as their nutrients are best absorb in acidic environment. I have fruits whenever I am hungry between meals.

If you just can't include soup, then stick to your normal diet in small portion. This should also do the trick. You are having raw veggies, are your motions normal then. Raw veggies are high in raw fiber and sometimes may cause stiff motion (potty). I usually munch on fruits in between my meals.

Talk to your trainer. If till now you have not yet tried circuit training go for it. It will help you burn fat fast. Also try the leg press machine, it does amazing things to your tummy and legs.

Keep me updated about your weight loss. I am very happy to see that things are working for you.

 

Wow, cucumber, buttermilk and water sounds great to me. Pman you are doing great in terms of diet. Results will be soon visible. Good show girl.
