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.

Villagers And The Great Outdoors

This time when I visited my village Leelki, I learnt something new. In the world of fitness, we are told to minimize wheat and avoid eating this or that. However, the people of the village eat everything including ghee. They don’t restrict anything in their diet and yet they remain healthy. I realized that theyContinue reading “Villagers And The Great Outdoors”

Tasty Food for Fat Loss

Remember if your food is not tasty enough then you will most likely exit the diet plan. We cannot sustain something we are not happy doing and trust me good taste plays an important role!

Bread is not important!

Some months ago, I was really fond of eating bread. Buttered bread, bread with savories, bread with jam or cheese; these were all comfort foods. I used to eat bread in breakfast, in the middle of the night and any time in between. Bread in the form of sandwiches, rolls etc. was a perfect companionContinue reading “Bread is not important!”

Emotional Eating: Filling In the Yawning Chasm

Yesterday, cousin sisters, Koel and Bittu had come for dinner. We ordered food since they had come on a very short notice. Koel is quite fit while the Bittu constantly struggles with her weight. Koel is very choosy about what she eats while the Bittu eats anything and everything that she finds. When we wereContinue reading “Emotional Eating: Filling In the Yawning Chasm”

The fat or something else

Is the fat the problem or something else. Of late, I have been reading a lot on this subject. The book that really got me thinking was A Course in Weight Loss by Marrianne Williamson. The author says that the fat in our body is not really fat but unresolved emotions like guilt, sadness, angerContinue reading “The fat or something else”

Fat Loss and Depression

Today, I have not been my usual self. I feel tired and some how not very happy with everything. The weight loss is going fine. Yet, I wonder if I will be able to carry on like this for the entire way. It is perhaps the same feeling when you start climbing a mountain. IContinue reading “Fat Loss and Depression”

Watching People Who Can Eat Anything and Remain Thin

I have a lot of people around me who are quite thin. Their food servings are topped with butter, ghee and the works. They love eating tasty food, fast food, junk food and all the kinds of foods that I cannot eat. Yes, I can cheat once in a while but then I cannot haveContinue reading “Watching People Who Can Eat Anything and Remain Thin”

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!”
