Frequently Asked Questions

How much weight can I lose in one month on an Indian diet?
Realistically 2 to 4 kg with a sensible calorie deficit, about 0.5 to 1 kg a week. Plans promising 10 kg in a month are unsafe and mostly water and muscle that comes straight back.
What should an Indian weight-loss diet include?
Protein (dal, paneer, eggs, curd, chicken), fibre (vegetables, salad, fruit), smart carbs (roti, brown rice, oats, millets) and a little healthy fat – all cooked with less oil and sugar.
Is roti or rice better for weight loss?
Both are fine in the right portion – total calories are what matter. Roti has a little more fibre and protein, but a controlled portion of either, paired with dal and vegetables, works well.
