Now to the Do's and Don'ts

• Check your weight once or twice a week and keep watch on your weight
• Try avoiding salt consumption after your dinner time
• Try using green chillies or black pepper over red chillies if you prefer spicy food

Don'ts

• Do not sieve flour to remove bran
• Do not eat in hurry
• Do not reheat Oil
• Do not take more than 1 teaspoon sugar at one time in your sweet items
• Do not eat same food routine over and again
• Do not skip your meal during the day (try having 5 meals a day)

Above are some guideline I got from my dietitian when I started my plan with her, out of these here are some which I applied in my diet plan

•  I used Pomace Olive Oil for my routine, it is good for cooking Indian food.
•  I mainly had apples, oranges, guava, cherries, papaya and sometimes pineapple.
•  I replaced potato for vegetables with other mix vegetables.
•  I included flax seed before my morning routine and for snack time sometimes as it helps if any deficiency because of change in your lifestyle relating to food.
•  I started my exercise routine with 15 minutes walk daily which got increased to 40 minutes daily. I recommend 20 minutes work out/ walk for starter and increase your time as per kg lost or as your prefer (daily routine like making rounds on home stairs or school stairs or school routine do not count as exercise.

Well, that's some things I followed and still following but there's more to it which I'll update in next post along with some diet plans I followed.

Also, I am not dietitian, this is general things about my diet plan which I followed and which I felt like sharing as it might help and you can make changes as you like here and there but make healthier choices, you will like those choices eventually.....hope it'll help you as well as it helped me, enjoy :)

Diet Diary

Hi guys.... this post is special as this is about our journey on losing weight and getting from fat to fit kind of... wouldn't exactly say fit as when you lose weight you have some problems as well. But we would like to say that we're in that shape where we feel good about ourself and can wear whatever we want Indian, Western and etc...... and this diet has become our lifestyle like even today we keep track on what we're eating, drinking, work out and such.

I still remember when we first went to our journey and made up our mind to start this lifestyle, our dietitian asked us this question "Are you guys here to lose weight by your choice or if your parents asked you to go", then she continued to say that if you're here because someone else asked you to then probably it's not right choice for us we would not like to follow that lifestyle then. And I totally agree with that now that I have seen the changes in me, my sister and our lifestyle...... and yeah... we were there because we wanted to change our lifestyle and that is the reason that we were able to achieve our goal.

So...here begins our Diet Diary together and I'll be updating this diary once or twice every week and also will share what we followed during our diet plans and recipes for that.... also bits of other things we did during that time period and how much time it took us to get there! (Also discussing problems during and after losing weight)

When I Say Diet, This Does Not Mean That You Have To Starve Yourself For It.

Trying New Hair Care Routine!!!

Hey again!! Today I am gonna be showing what new routine I am gonna be following for my hair care routine.... well to be honest I have never really looked well after my hair and now gonna try make them better.... I hope so it works out!
These are the things that I am gonna include in my routine.........


Flax Seeds... these are good for hair. You can use them as your snack time or you can mix with any flour you use like whole wheat flour, all purpose flour and such and you can also use them in your diet like... sprinkle them on your food like sandwiches, poha, salad, and etc or however you want to include them in your daily routine.

Egg.....Eggs are really good for all type of hair masks you can make at home and they're also good to include in your diet like in evening snack time and such. Egg hair masks gives you really shiney hair.

Oils and mixtures- Do Not Use Castor Oil Alone!!! Use with with Coconut Oil Mixture or Bhringraj Oil Mixture.

First Oil Mix- Coconut Oil with Castor Oil and Vitamin E Capsules...... You can mix 3 tble spoon of coconut oil with 1 tblt spoon of castor oil and 1 vitamin e capsule then put the bowl mixture in some hot water to heat up the oil (do not put the mixture bowl directly on flame to heat it up) and apply that mixture on to your scalp in circular motion and massage for like 5 minutes and just leave overnight.... either you can make it in a bun or you can make a simple braid or can also use shower cap and then wash with your daily use shampoo and conditioner. This Mixture helps in hair growth and shine for your hair (if you going for long hair...)

Second Oil Mix- Castor Oil, Bhringraj Oil, and Onion juice.... you can use 3 tble spoon of bhringraj oil and 1 tble spoon of castor oil with 1 onion juice squeezed out and heat up some water in a pan and put your bowl mixture in to so oil heats up a bit then you can apply that mixture on to your scalp and put it for overnight or put like 40 mins before you plan to wash your hair. Then just wash your hair with your daily use shampoo and conditioner like I explained above. This mixture helps in regrowth of your hair and stop hair from falling.

Try comb your hair with Wooden Comb. Also try staying stress free and meditate if possible... thats helps a lot :)

You can get all these oil from any Pantjali Store nearby or if you want to order online then you can buy these oils from Nykaa.com by clicking these links Bhringraj Oil, Castor Oil, Olive Oil and Coconut Oil......So thats what all I am gonna be doing for good and shiney hair!! I have already tried these hair mixture twice and I am happy with the result I am getting and if more progress from this hair routine I'll post on here to let you guys know....Hope you try it out to and this helps you too :)
