How To Lose Weight in 4 Weeks? Indian Weight Loss Diet Chart & Weight Loss Tips!

Are you overwhelmed with all the fancy exotic diet plans? Then it’s time for you to follow something that suits you and your lifestyle. It is time to focus on an Indian Diet plan for weight loss. Because let’s face it, although we think Indian meals are healthy there are a lot of loopholes. Therefore, instead of following a diet that is not suitable for you, try one that goes hand in hand with your eating habits.
 

 
 

We will give you insights on what is keeping you fat, the ratio of exercise and diet control you need to have. Plus an expert recommended month long weight loss diet chart plan for Indians.
 
10 Recommended Indian Diet for Weight Loss Tips 
 
Weight loss is not so difficult and by following the below weight loss diet tips, one can lose weight at ease. The key is to follow the tips diligently.
 
1. Don’t skip meals
 
Skipping meals is never going to help you in weight loss. In fact, it will make you starve and you will end up eating something unhealthy that will further hamper your weight loss diet.
 
2. Eat more frequently
 
Have small meals frequently and regularly. The aim is to never let yourself be hungry. Be it having healthy snacks or fruits, try to eat more frequently. 
 
3. Have home-made foods
 
Cook food at home so that you can be more attentive towards the ingredients and find healthy alternatives to cooking. For example, you can use lesser oil or bake the chicken instead of frying. 
 
4. Increase the stock of healthy foods 
 
Always make sure that you have enough healthy foods in store so that whenever your hunger pangs strike, you eat something healthy instead of the stored pastries or the pizza leftovers.
 
5. Add all the food groups into your diet plan
 
Whenever you are planning a meal make sure you have included all the important food groups like Proteins, Vitamins, Carbohydrates and Good fat. The goal is to follow a balanced diet. 
 
6. Choose smaller plates and bowls
 
This really works. This has to do with the psychology. According to a new research published in the Journal of the Association for Consumer Research, decreasing the plate sizes can help in reducing the amount of food consumed. Hence a smart and easy trick to eat lesser and lose weight. 
 
7. Don’t go to parties with an empty stomach
 
Heading towards a party? Eat something healthy and then go. This will let you be half-filled and hence you will gorge the party food lesser. This can help you have fewer alcoholic drinks too.
 
3 Weight Loss Thumb rules for party Hoppers
 
Don’t skip meals before part, you will end up eating more
 
To survive dehydration due to alcohols, keep yourself hydrated throughout the day and even in between your drinks
 
Prepare your body for the party by eating fresh and raw fruits throughout the day
 
8. Limit the usage of sugar and salt
 
Ditch the salt shaker and those additional spoons of sugar for your tea. Both sugar and salt should be taken in moderation. While excess sugar may affect blood sugar levels, excess salt may cause water retention and these contribute to weight gain.
 
9. Eat more fruits & vegetables 
 
In order to make your meals more filling, you can add fruits and veggies to them. This is a way to twist your dishes in the most healthy manner.
 
10. Avoid zero carb/restricted diet plans
 
Don’t fall into the traps of restricted diet plans such as zero carb diet. Our body needs nutrients from each of the food groups. So cutting any of them out will only stop us from enjoying their benefits.
 
Most of the weight loss diet plans provided online or by certain nutritionists look at curing the symptom and not treating the root cause of weight issues.
 
Hence it is highly advised that you consult a trained professional on how to lose weight. 

 

 
 

Tried everything and Now Tired of it? Why Aren’t you Losing Weight?
 
Are you blaming your lazy lifestyle and lack of exercise? Planning to run or jog away from the weekend indulgence or a cheat on your diet chart to reduce weight? Or have you scheduled an hour-long yoga session to work off the guilt from the unhealthy addition to the otherwise healthy Indian diet?
 
Well, we have a surprise for you, research is out about how exercise is not the be all and end all of the weight loss.
 
“Turns out, you can’t outrun a bad diet! It will exact revenge on your belly and hips eventually.”
 
You may scoff at this wisdom, but take the instance of beauty pageant winner Mrs Sheuli Bhatia. Her asthma made it difficult to work out hard but she was already enrolled in the Miss India International pageant.
 
Even she had thought that she could burn off a bad diet by light exercise. That is until she realised diet is what contributes to 70% of weight loss! 
 
Numerous studies on how to lose weight have now lifted the curtains on how much contribution does running on the treadmill till death has on weight loss versus diet chart to lose weight! Ok here’s how it works.
 
Weight loss is believed to happen when energy spent (calorie-obsessed freaks call it burning calories) is more than the energy consumed (in the form of food, something tweaked in the Indian weight loss diet plan).
 
However, there are 3 components of energy expenditure
 
*Basal metabolic rate (BMR)
 
*Energy used for digestion of food or thermic effect of food
 
*Physical activity
 
Research finds that BMR is responsible for 60 to 80% of energy expenditure, another 10% by digestion which leaves only 10 – 30% of energy or calorie burn by physical activity.
 
Hence exercise which has been revered as ‘the’ solution for weight loss’, only accounts for small changes in weight. We have an entire article dedicated to this age-old tussle backed with research.
 
Hey, we are not negating the effect of exercise on health. Research finds that exercise helps reduce the risk of type-2 diabetes, stroke, cardiovascular conditions, blood pressure and other lifestyle ailments. So keep exercising, it is not going waste.
 
So how to lose weight? Adopt well-planned Indian weight loss diet recipes!
Nutritionist Recommended Weight Loss Tips
As highlighted in this detailed blog by Vox, avoiding high-fat foods; restricting calorie intake; regularly weighing, and moderate physical activity helps weight loss and eventually weight management too.
 
So have you been doing all this? If you aren’t and banking only on exercise then your weight loss will indeed be slow. Go get an Indian diet plan for weight loss from a nutritionist. 
 
“Bottom line: Exercise or physical activity only brings about SMALL changes in weight. Do not gloss or obsess or tailor a weight loss plan solely around exercise. In fact exercising has its own line of benefits on lifestyle conditions and hence important too! Rather get a diet chart for weight loss and stick to it”
 
We still recommend these 8-minute complete body workout exercises to keep you in good health and to help reduce belly fat.
 
Practise this along with the expert recommended weight loss diet plan given below and you are sure to succeed!
