Many cases are recorded wherein no adverse effect is noticed even when persons subsisted on a 400 to 450 calories diet. However, such a drastic cut in the diet should be tried only in a hospital under proper medical supervision. Those who subsist on such a low calorie diet should take vitamins and minerals in the synthetic form.

Note: If a person undertakes too rapid a weight loss program, he may become victim of complaints like anemia, uneasiness, giddiness, etc. Those who reduce their weight at a miraculous pace generally find that the vitamin and mineral depots in their body are fast depleted.

Those who are suffering from heart disease, diabetes or high blood pressure are commonly advised to reduce their weight. But such people should never undertake a speedy weight loss program. We must bear in mind that the weight loss program should be sensible with steady pace.

Diet for Weight Loss

According to your height your ideal body should not be more than 47-48 kg. That means you need to lose the extra 17-18 kg which you have gained.

Try to lose 1kg per week that makes to 4 kg per month.  Remember weigh loss is a gradual process where diet and exercise goes hand in hand, stress on any one aspect will lead you no where, leaving you with a feeling of discouragement.
  • Eat small meals at frequent intervals. Avoiding both starving and binging. Eat slowly, that gives our body time to tell us that it is full before we've eaten more than we need.
  • Avoid simple sugars and processed carbohydrates. Choose whole cereals or whole wheat products and avoid white flour and its products as far as possible. Eat healthy, mostly unprocessed foods, including fruit, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and limited amounts of lean animal protein. This also includes fiber in your diet which makes you feel full soon and also moves fat through our digestive system faster so that less of it is absorbed.
  • Consume at least 8-9 servings of fruits and vegetables including 1 green leafy vegetable daily.
  • Eating salads is a healthy option, but don’t replace your meals only with salads, and be careful with salad dressings, mayonnaise, and other condiments that are high in fat content. They greatly increase the calorie count and can negate the healthy aspects of a meal.
  • Avoid too much of deep fried, oily or fried foods. Include good proteins in the form of pulses, sprouts, milk, eggs, fish, and lean meats or de skinned chicken.
  • The most important nutrient that is always forgotten is water. Drink sufficient water daily to keep yourself well hydrated.
  • Keep in mind ‘fat free’ or ‘sugar free’ products do not mean calorie free. Make sure to read the food labels before any food item you consume. Be an aware customer.
  • Physical activity or exercise is a very important criterion to remain fit and lose weight. Just a simple brisk walk for 40-45 minutes or stretching exercises for lower body will help. Exercise makes it possible to create a calorie deficit and lose weight without starving your body and slowing your metabolism.
