This post is contributed by one of my ‘old’ friends Shashank, who is currently working in UBS, USA. He was following a strict diet for quite some time and I then requested him to present his experience for the rest of us. Here it is :
Diet is the most important factor in maintain good health and not to forget, to have a good shape too. Most people often have this misconception or may be misnomer or even an oxymoron ( especially when people say I’m on diet, its actually low diet ). Needless to say, with good diet and proper exercise its easy to have a healthy good life. Now I’ll cut the B shit and providing you with a diet schedule which I think is very helpful to cut down weight. Especially for people who are on high carb food this would cut down a good portion of your body weight by bringing down high glycemic carb content and increasing the protein intake.
Morning:-
6:00 — 20 -30 min Running (try to burn around 250 – 300 calories, don’t push too hard if you haven’t done exercise for long long time )
6:30 — 2 Egg whites ( plain or omelet with oil ) / Whey proteins ( if you have done intense cardio / weights )
8:00 — 1/2 cup of high fiber-low carb cereal, such as All-Bran with extra fiber with few almonds, 1/3 cup of skimmed milk )
10:00 — 1 Apple and few peanuts ( if it makes you feel better )
Afternoon :-
12:30 –> Bid salad bowl ( try with more protein , chicken / turkey or if you are veggie have a lot of chick pea ( chole ), lentils , kidney beans ( rajma ) )
Snack :-
4:00 :- Cup yoghurt with honey / cereal bars
6:30 :- 20 -30 min Running and do some weights
Whey protein powder right after the excursive
8:00 :- have light dinner 2 root / chapati with some curry without oil
12:00 ( midnight ) :- if you can drink some casein protein with water. Its a long gap between dinner and morning breakfast, so its always good to provide some food to your body. I can go bit more technical on this but don’t want to bore you with extra information.
