Hello Badri,
Howz ur diet going?...no feedback so far?...
Hi dev,
how about fruit juices(100%)-orange/apple-can we have them while on diet?
Yes Dev I understand its a pretty tough question which does not have a right away answer. Somewhere in this thread I saw that the average weight of a indian women is 60. So , is it possible , to give the measurements of dhal,milk or whatever protein-rich vegetarian food that a avg. weighing women can take in order to meet the daily protein requirements. Hope my query is clear. just to retariate, I want something like this,
An avg. indian women should take 200 grams of dhal,2 cups of milk to meet the daily protein requirements.
This generic measurements can be modified by all accordingly.
Thanks for your time and valuable inputs. May be my query is so blunt with no specific answer. if so please just ignore.
Thanks and Regards
hi dev,
U had posted on another thread the following:
"Take a good lunch and wait for the body signals. You will not feel hungry until the energy from your lunch is completely exhausted. Once exhausted, the body will send you the first hunger signal. You ignore this signal and hold on without taking any food. After about ½ an Hr to 45 Mins, the hunger signal will fade away. Your body gave you a signal and since you didn't provide any food, it started taking the energy from the fat that you have accumulated in your body."
plz chk the facts! u shld NEVER let your body starve for food! dieticiens recommend eating five meals a day(bfst,lunch,dinner and 2 snacks) for everyone-
food shld be eaten at regular intervals. wht matters for weight loss/maintenance is the right food choices/portion control and excercise!!
Di and Dev:
Actually, I came across a school of thought that subscribes to those views too...what happens when you stilfe hunger is that the body goes on a "famine" mode. That is to say, it assumes food is not in supply, so it slows down metabolism. Now, we all know that the higher the metabolic rate, the more the energy we consume, meaning more calories are burnt. But when the rate slows down, and then when we eat, whatever we eat will be burnt at an slower than usual rate...which means more fat accumulation in the body.
But that said, this only happens with prolonged periods of fasting. The first reaction of the body is to burn the stored fat. When food is still not forthcoming, that is when it switches to 'famine' mode.
Disclaimer: Famine mode is something I coined now...there is some other term they use, which slips my mind at the moment...
Hi Anandi,
Sure, can take juices.But,homemade/store bought fresh fruit juices are good provided there is not much sugar added. Better have juices that have no sugar added to it.
Better yet,if u can eat the fruits as such instead of juices so that U get all the nutrients. While making juice,most of us strain out the pulp,right?
Also,I'm very sorry that I couldn't give U a diet quickly. Will post it by mid next week. Am tied up by a few other commitments.Hope you understand.
Hi US,
I'm really sorry...I don't want to give any generic answer to your question coz there are ppl in India weighing 80-85 kgs & if they just take my generic recommendation for 60kgs ,they might fall short of protein.The same holds good for ppl weiging very less.say 40-45kgs.They might oversupply protein based on my generic statement.And I've not mentioned anywhere that the avg weight of Indian women is 60 kgs.It's actually news to me.:)
If U want to know how much of protein U need to take in the form of milk,dhal etc,Pls let me know ur weight,height,age,activity level, So that I can let U know how much of these U need to eat everyday. Hope U understand.:)
Hi di,
If U read the whole message,U'll be able to understand that I've given this as a method to identify whether the body is taking energy from the food that you supplied or from the fat stored in your body.

The actual message:
Let's imagine that your body requires 2000 Kcal everyday and you are supplying only 1500 Kcal every day. You are under supplying 500 Kcal every day and this energy is taken up from the energy store in your body – fat. In a week, you would have under-supplied 3500 (500 * 7 days) Kcals. This has to come from somewhere, right?. Where does it come from? The fat that you have accumulated in the past gets burnt to make up for this under-supply, thereby reducing your weight.
Now i will tell you one very good way of identifying whether the body is taking energy from the food that you supplied or from the fat stores in your body.
Take a good lunch and wait for the body signals. You will not feel hungry until the energy from your lunch is completely exhausted. Once exhausted, the body will send you the first hunger signal. You ignore this signal and hold on without taking any food. After about ½ an Hr to 45 Mins, the hunger signal will fade away. Your body gave you a signal and since you didn't provide any food, it started taking the energy from the fat that you have accumulated in your body.
And,the same que was asked by Pr & I've given the explanation for it in the same thread.Please read that too. I never recommend starving to reduce weight. I always recommend a balanced diet + regular exercise for weight loss & maintenance. U can find this in the diet I've charted for Guy & Badri.

Pr asked:
Does that mean we have to ignore the hunger signal once a day so that body will use stored fat ??
Hope I explained ur queries.:)Quote:
My reply:
Not necessarily but you can do that for 1/2 hr to 45 mins and not for very long as it can be harmful.One important point that is to be noted is that the body needs a good amount of calcium for burning fat.Thus U'll have to provide the right amount of calcium while reducing weight.Else you bones will weaken due to lack of calcium. Since fat reduction is a complicated process,better take the right amount of carbs & fat so that U don't over-accumulate fat in your body.The best method for weight & fat reduction is proper diet & exercise.
Hi Badri,
What U've said is right. Thanks for explaining.
Vitamin K
Vitamin K is the clotmaster!. It enables your liver to produce a blood-clotting factor to control and prevent internal bleeding.
Which foods are rich in vitamin K?
* leafy green vegetables
* liver
* pork
* dairy products, like milk and yogurt
However,I don't recommend any red meat & organs in diet. So better get your supply from greens & dairy products.
