Now , you might be saying that it's very easy for me to just stand here and give you any random diet plan because obviously , I do not know how difficult it is to maintain a diet plan while having a 9 to 7 job .
But before I became a certified fitness expert , I was a software engineer for seven years .
No time for breakfast , less sleep , midnight cravings , deadline stress , late night deployments on site golf .
I've been there , done that in the initial few years .
Forget fitness .
I was even putting on a lot of weight to lose weight .
I fell for a lot of fat diets lose change in 10 day diet , cucumber diet , egg diet , 900 kg calorie diet .
The problem with such fat diets is that they end up leaving you with no energy at all and they give you a lot of headaches and there's nowhere on earth you're going to finish your deadlines while you feel so weak .
So today I'm going to give you a no nonsense diet plan that does not starve you , gives your body all the essential nutrients it needs , makes you lose weight .
But most importantly , it is practical so that a busy person like you can follow it easily .
Let's begin as soon as you wake up .
The first thing you need to have is a glass of water and four or five almonds soaked overnight water will kickstart your metabolism and all those essential nutrients from almonds will be easily absorbed by your body .
I understand that you have very less time for breakfast .
You have to rush to office .
So you have some quick breakfast options .
Number one Italy , grab that fresh butter from your local store , plus an Italy steamer and you have the quickest breakfast ever along with that .
Those OK are also very easily made .
If you don't even have time for that , then just cook regular oats in milk and add a banana or some local seasonal fruit to make it more filling as well as tasty .
Remember to stay away from those processed masala oats .
If you don't even have time for that , then just grab two eggs , boil them , crack them open and enjoy your egg along with the yolk around 11 a.m. You start to feel hungry again .
So stack your storage unit with some peanuts , dry fruits , green tea sachets .
You can even have your regular chai at this time or if you have the time , get homemade cha salad .
You know , china mixed with tomatoes , onions , green chili lemon for a heavenly snack in your drawer .
You might have the habit of storing some chocolate chips biscuits for emergency purposes .
Even if there's no emergency , you still keep munching on it because it's right there .
And before you know it , you finish the entire packet and that's what leads to weight gain .
The next time you go to your desk , get rid of all that junk out of sight , out of mind for lunch .
You want to make it a whole meal .
So start with a salad , freshly cut cucumbers , beetroot carrot , then move on to your regular curry with rice or roti .
For curry .
You can have chicken , mixed vegetables , dal rajma chana and then include a bowl of curd .
Now , the trick to avoid overeating during lunch is this number one , have more of dal vegetables , curd and less of rice and rote .
So that all that fiber from veggies will make you feel full faster .
And number two , eat slow and pay attention to what you're eating .
Maybe for you .
Three rotties are enough or two roti or 1.5 roti .
But you still eat three roti out of habit because you do not focus to realize when it is enough .
Now , after lunch , we usually feel sleepy but do not drink that cup of tea or coffee to try and stay awake because it will just add to your empty calories .
Instead take a nap for 10 to 15 minutes .
And when you wake up , you feel more refreshed and you'll be more productive at work .
If your manager catches you while sleeping , then send him this video .
Now 4 p.m. is a very dangerous time .
You're usually very stressed .
You might have had a bad appraisal or your manager gave you work at the last minute when you wanted to leave early or some bugs needs fixing immediately .
Whatever it is , stress combined with hunger is a battle that you cannot win .
And that is when you turn to comfort food like samosa , Kari pa Cola chips Cola and that is what leads to weight gain .
So the best way to avoid it is to keep munching on a healthy snack before it's full .
Some of your best options are peanut butter and a slice of brown bread .
You can make your own peanut butter at home during weekend or a fresh fruit bowl that I'm sure your office canteen serves or just get up from your desk , go for a walk and grab some napa from a local vendor .
And in the end , do not forget that Cora or not only will it be filling but you'll also get a break from your office .
Chaos .
Our biggest enemy to weight loss is that meal that says birthday cake cutting at panty in 10 minutes or just got married sweets at my desk or birthday chocolates with your favorite things are waiting for you for free .
It is very hard to say no , but there's one line in that mail that says first come first serve limited stock .
So with all your might wait for that stock to get over and congratulate that person at the end of the day .
Personally , that way you're taking part in that happiness and still sticking to your weight loss goals .
If you want to lose weight faster and strengthen your bones , develop a healthy heart and not suffer from injuries early in your life , then you need to exercise .
I will ask you to join a gym or pick up a sport , but I know you're not .
So let's slowly ease into some sort of a physical activity .
And once you start noticing the difference in your body , you will automatically increase the intensity .
So for now , go for a 15 minute walk around your office building after lunch , always take the stairs instead of the elevator .
Even if you're on the 11th floor first , climb 3 to 4 floors and then take the elevator or if there's a gym at your office tomorrow , just go and see , just have a look .
And if you like it , then plan to spend 15 minutes on the treadmill this week , just 10 minutes because it's often the start that's difficult .
So let's start small or if you want to work out at home , then do check out this five minute home workout video on my youtube channel .
The link is the description now for dinner , you can have the same thing that you had for your lunch .
Just make sure that you have an early dinner around 7 to 8 pm .
Home cooked chicken and fish are also great options .
I know that cooking every day at the chore is a hassle , especially if you're working .
But home cooked food is the answer to health and weight loss .
If you do not like cooking , then invest your time in finding a cook because that way you will at least be sure that the ingredients and the food that you're eating are fresh and not some stale food that's been reheated and served to you .
Which happens even if you want to know which cooking oils are best for weight loss .
Make sure that you watch this video on cooking oil .
Finally before bed have a glass of warm milk , add a pinch of healthy if you don't like , it stays milk is not really healthy , but it will keep you feeling full until morning .
And all those midnight cravings will be under control and make sure that you sleep for 7 to 8 hours every day because lack of sleep also leads to weight gain .
I'm guessing that you are serious about your career and you can progress in your career only if your body supports you .
So nurture it , strengthen it and get of all that extra fat that's making you dull and lethargic .
If you have any specific medical conditions like diabetes , thyroid PC , then make sure you consult your doctor about your diet , but either way , do not fall for shortcuts .
That promise rapid weight loss , I guarantee they'll do more harm than good .
The right way will take time .
It will take effort .
But are you not worth that investment ?
