When
energy generation in the body exceeds energy expenditure, it
results in fat accumulation. So in order to shed extra fat we
must reverse this proportion. For this a right diet plan must
be followed, that one can easily continue for long duration. A
very strict and restricted diet plan becomes hard to follow
and fat loss will be for short term only.
Food items that can be consumed
freely in any desired quantity are:
-
Vegetables and green salads (especially containing tomatoes
and cucumbers)
-
Fresh fruits (except banana)
Food items that must be taken in a
limited quantity are:
-
Milk (250 ml or half a bottle or one and a half cupful).
This is the quantity for the whole day and includes the milk
taken in tea and coffee.
-
Butter, ghee, oil or cream – 2 to 3 small tea-spoonful. Some
diet experts advice to stop taking them altogether.
-
Three to four chapattis (without applying ghee on them) per
day or 1 to 2 oz (i.e., half to one small bowlful) rice.
-
One small bowlful dal or Green gram (moong) soup during the
whole day.
-
One or two small potatoes during the whole day.
-
Eggs
-
Fish
-
Meat
Barring the
above-mentioned items no other food should be taken.
