Dieting, Loosing Weight, Excercise, How to

How to loose weight & keep yourself in shape ?

This article relates to my personal experience that may relate to many Indians.

The life in India is quite complex compared to other parts of the world. We live with so many strings attached to us that actually, Life drives us instead of we driving it.

There are several key things that one need to take control on before one can Drive his life. I will discus few of them in my blogs, but here I talk about one of them which is your Weight ...

- Being Fat is a big social stigma that will significantly effect how you life and taking control over it is most important. If you cannot control your weight, then forget driving your life on your own. Is is easiest thing you can do to take control over your life.


There are many ways suggested to loose weight but 2 most important ones are:

- Exercise
- Dieting

All other modes have little or no success. People who fail to use one of the above effectively try them.


Most Indian's firmly believe that Exercising is the best way to loose weight. First generation of Indians who grew-up after independence (mainly in villages) firmly believe and utilize exercising to loose weight. They have put is well in their children's mind that this is the most effective way to loose weight.

Also this first generation believe that dieting is the worst way to loose weight and should never be practiced. Hence second generation is well programmed to use Exercising as the best method of weight loss.

But the life style of the second generation is very different as the India developed in towns. They grewup in towns and were not accustomed to hard work, waking up early etc. during their childhood. Hence they do not have natural capacity to exercise, physical work and village type work schedule. They wake up late and sleep late. Also many of them work in call center, software companies where you just sit in a chair form moorning to evening.


The result, increase in weight.

First generation (the parents) who grew up more in villages and small towns, specially in environment where mal-nourishment was a big issue, have learned to eat oily, cheese, milky, sweet food. and they are on a mission to fill it up into their children to the max capacity possible as if these things will expire from this world like oil.

Almost all of them have no knowledge of the effects of extra nutritions in the body.


The result, increase in weight.


Now how do you fight this situation, loose weight, keep yourself healthy.

- Everyone try to exercise, but only few succeed.

- 90% of the people find it very difficult in first few days and just leave it and try some other methods.

- Some plan that they will now walk more and that will mean enough exercise to loose weight

- Some people buy a cycle and think that by sitting on cycle comfortably and paddling, they will loose weight.

- Some strong people try it for a month or two, they loose few Kgs, then they find it little difficult to continue, or they want to celebrate the success, and leave it.

- Some people regularly do it, but after doing lot of exercise one day, they think they are now eligible to eat one ice cream, cheese burger or cake. They eat more sugar and oil while they exercise and their weight actually increase instead of decreasing. Some parents encourage children to exercise and eat oily fatty diet.

- Some people get sick because of exercise and they say bye bye to it for life.

- Some people join the special weight loss programs, they loose weights. they come back and within a year they gain weight again.

- In most big towns in India, there is little space to walk . No footpaths, bad roads. So walking cannot be part of your daily life. I observed in Hong Kong, Taiwan that most people use metro trains and need to walk 1 or more miles everyday from station to home and office. No need to 2 wheelers.


- AND SOME PEOPLE LEARN THE TRICKS OF THE GAME AND REMAIN HEALTHY EVER AFTER.




What are my suggestions and experiences ?

- I too started with the exercise , i use to run or walk few kilometers and also started learning how walking will help me loose weight.

- As a firm believer in scientific approach I learned the complete calorie theory of weight gain and loss. As a person good in maths, i could see numbers of calories each food add, each kilometer of walk reduce and much more. I started doing number crunching.

- I started calculating how much I am loosing with every day walk/run/exercising, it came to just few hundred Calories (200 to 400). Due to walking and exercising I use to feel tired and normally would like to eat more food then i normally do. i would often consider myself eligible to eat more chiken and ice cream because now i walk/exercise everyday. My parents would also encourage me to eat more fatty food as they see may working hard. As most of the food at my home is oily and sweet, I could easily see by numbers that I am adding 500-600 extra calories due to extra food I am eating.

- Within few days i was absolutely sure that this way I will never be able to loose weight, and I just stopped and made new plan.

- This Plan is "The Calorie Plan". The aim of every weight loss method finally is to reduce calorie. hence I planned to only focus on the fundamentals.

- Eating food is the only way we intake calorie, hence if i can control it, i can win the game. Hence I selected Dieting as the best method I will use.

- I learn how other diet, i found that the dieting means eating less food. So I started eating less food and avoid, oily, milky food. But i would also feel hungry and sometimes eat a lot. After doing dieting for a week, in the weekend i would feel that i can eat more, i use to drink, eat lot of non-veg and go out of eating Chinese. i could not control myself in weekends, specially because it would otherwise ruin my life, specially because i am required to eat less thru out my life to keep my weight in control.

- My number crunching immediately showed that I am eating almost the same calories every week. Also eating less during week days lead to stress and hunger that effected work.

- Now I read few more articles on dieting and then came up with a master plan, that i implemented successfully within 2 months. Few other conditions helped me a lot. My parents went to home town for few months, and there was no one to govern my eating habbits.

- MY PLAN FUNDAMENTALS

1 - EAT MORE - AS MUCH AS YOU WANT OR YOUR STOMACH CAN TAKE
2 - EAT LOWEST CALORIE ITEM ONLY - I IDENTIFIED IT AS APPLE (CHINA APPLE)
3 - TAKE MULTI VITAMIN TABLETS EVERYDAY TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LACK OF VITAMINS IN DIET.

- MY PLAN STEPS

STEP 1 - FIRST REDUCE NORMAL DIET TO HALF, AND HAVE APPLE DIET FOR THE BALANCE. TAKE ONE TABLET SUPRA DYNE AND 2 TABLETS OF CELIN EVERY DAY

STEP 2 - GO FOR FULL APPLE DIET ALONG WITH TABLETS MENTIONED ABOVE.



- I DID STEP 1 FOR 1 MONTHS AND THEN STEP 2 FOR 1 MONTH.



- I went to market and bought 10KG of china apple. I love to eat apple.

- Before breakfast i will eat 2 apples, before lunch i will eat 2 apples and before dinner i will eat 2 apples.

- Due to apple eating i will automatically eat less breakfast, lunch and dinner. Normally i skip lunch and eat good breakfast and lunch but i do not think this is correct.

- I would not feel hungry , also my stomach is normally full and i would not feel like eating non-veg etc. when i go out in week ends.

- I would also carry apples with me always, and even if my mind think of hunger i would stuff one apple in my stomach. then i may also eat what i want but as stomach is full, only small amount will go in.

- i was eating everything but , actually tasting it not really eating. I was happy.
- Vitamin dose also kept my mind healthy and i did not have any stress or issues. Vitamins dose i suggested above is somthing that i have been taking daily (often on alternate days) since my school days. These vitamins have absolutely no side effects and they help keep vitamin levels best in your body. You can consult any good doctor. I did consult doctors after reading about it in books and internet and they said i can take it without any problems.

- As my diet reduced, it would have certainly lead to lack of vitamins , hence tablets are necessary. most Indian patents do not let their childred take any tablet what so ever as they think that tablets ruin one's body. this is something you need to handle.



- My number crunching showed me i have significantly reduced the calorie intake. Within 15 days i started seeing the weight loss.

- I also started some walking and exercising again and it helped reduce the weight more but I would not suggest any tiring exercise, as you will feel hungry and consider yourself eligible for higher fat diet. i recommend no exercise during this diet program.

- In one month i could see 5 Kg weight loss with no problems.

- Now I was bold enough to take STEP 2. Can you believe it pure APPLE DIET, I EAT NOTHING BUT APPLE.

- I would eat 10-15 apples every day. Seeing success of my STEP 1 , i tried not to eat anything else , except sometimes on weekends with strict calculations of calorie. I would plan how many extra calories i will take on weekend and will not take above it.

- OOPS CAN YOU BELIVE IT THE PURE APPLE DIET WAS DOING WONDERS I COULD HAVE NEVER IMAGINED.

- I WAS LOOSING FEW KGs EVERY FEW DAYS. I THE WEIGHT MACHINE ITSELF WOULD HAVE BEEN SURPRISED.

- I THINK MY PROGRAM SET THE PACE, MY BODY HAS NO OPTIONS BUT TO BURN THE FATS STORED ALL OVER MY SKIN. IT WOULD WAIT FOR FOOD FOR LONG, BUT COULD ONLY GET APPLES, MY BRAINS GAVE ALARM SIGNAL TO MY BODY THAT YOU CANNOT WAIT ANY MORE, YOU HAVE TO BURN ALL THE FATS STORED TO LIVE, AND DO IT EVERY DAY.

- BODY STARTED BURNING MORE AND MORE FATS, AND WEIGHT STARTED DROPPING QUICKLY.

I LOST 5 KG IN STEP 1 AND 15 KG IN STEP 2 .

i.e. 1 kg every 2 days.

- Just think of standing on the weighing machine every alternate day and see 1 kg less.


After 1 month of STEP 2, i came back to STEP 1 .

- I now eat apple regularly as part of my diet , though only 2-3 per day. but it really help be take less calorie.

I also now changed myself to sugar and milk less coffee, avoid oily food.

With above formula I kept my weight is absolute control and enjoyed my life for almost 3 years now.

But i have no control over my eating habbits on weekends, I have been drinking a lot too, Due to this i have gained 10 KG again . But I have no worry, I have a great formula that can reduce my weight within 2 months with little or no hard work.

Guys, try it and be successful
