Its necessary to follow a healthy lifestyle as fat loss is a gradual process. There is no quick fix approach. Following a healthy diet which has optimal amounts of first-class proteins (dairy products, eggs, chicken etc) reduced carbohydrates (white rice, poha etc) & healthy fats (almonds. Walnuts etc) along with a structured? exercise program that is balanced with weight training and cardio will surely help. Hormonal imbalances that can impede your rate of fat loss. Stay consistent & patient in order to achieve your weight loss goals. Kindly contact us for your issues & to get customised? diet & workout plan.

For DM diet follow 40% complex carbs, and 35% proteins and 25% fats in your diet. It means that do not eat white based stuff like white maida, white rice, noodles, sugar, pizzas, buns etc. Use multigrain, use millets, brown rice etc. Make sure your every meal has proteins + salads. Walk for 10 mins after every meal. Take smaller meals with greater frequencies. Monitor your sugar levels every month. Take these herbs daily to control your sugar levels - 2 Spoons flax seeds powder - 2 Spoons amla powder - .5 spoon cinnamon powder. These can be taken with water, milk or add to meals. If you follow all these you will find your sugar levels in control.
