You have done the diets. All of them. The one where you ate cabbage soup for a week. The one where you counted every calorie like a hawk. The one your neighbour swears by. The one the influencer made look so effortless. And every single time, you came back to the same square. The sameContinue reading “Give Yourself a Chance”

Slow weight loss
Weight loss is not a one off process. It is as continuous as breathing. Weighing your self every day, accounting for each gram you pick up, the fat percentage that decreases or increases and the water that goes into your body should become a mandate rather than a matter of choice. Many people say duringContinue reading “Slow weight loss”
The good thing about fat loss
We ignore this small gain and then get a rude shock of many kilos. The good part is our body responds to whatever we do and we can (most of the times) measure the response.

Diet Chips, Diet Food- All Hogwash!
We want to have it all. We want all the chips, pastries, cakes and yet not put on weight. The companies use this to create all kinds of diet foods, diet chips, fat free icecreams and charge a bomb for these. We love the idea because it takes away the guilt of indulging in theseContinue reading “Diet Chips, Diet Food- All Hogwash!”
My Brother, My Trainer
My brother is the kind of trainer who gets after your life for everything. He not only focusses on your body but also eating habits, sleeping habits and even thinking patterns. Since he is also a psychologist, he talks to me about the emotional reasons that made me gain weight in the first place.
