#Lost 12 kgs #3 months #Flab to Fab
6 months back, I was checking out some random old pics and I was like……What the hell??? What have I done to myself??? 2 years of my marriage and didn’t noticed that I gained around 14 kgs of weight. Huh!!! I decided to do something about it. But, what???
Within few minutes I was flooded with tons & tons of information. (Read thousands of articles, watched weight loss videos).. Well, thanks to the technology!!! Now confused me, didn’t know which one to follow??? Decided to try everything!!! Trust me, it only worsen my situation and there I was depressed and exhausted. Exhausted, coz by then I almost decided that m never gonna loose weight.
But, 3 months of my hard work and I lost 12 kgs.. Happy me!! Continued my exercise regime and by now, people have started calling me and asking me the secret of my WEIGHT LOSS!!! So, thought of sharing it with you all!! (I was 72 kgs and today m 58 kg. so, in total 14 kgs loss) 🙂 🙂
Follow the tips and volla!!! U wud b bck in shape 🙂
Before sharing the weight loss tips, I would like to discuss few factors that are responsible for the WEIGHT GAIN!! I know I know…..u are not interested in my story and you want to know the secret. But, the truth is if we do not understand the main cause of our problem, how can we think of getting rid of that?? mAKE SENSE???
So, here we are…..
- The peculiar problem we all face today is NO TIME!!! Yes!! u heard me right!! We want to loose weight, but NO TIME 🙁 …..So guys!!! time is something I can’t help u with. Get up half an hour early???….cut down your TV time and spend that 30 – 45 mins in exercising may b???
- Also, most of the time we don’t realize when did we gained so much of weight. Solution to this is just WaTCH WhAT U eAT!! I mean if u r eating junks every second day with sugarry drink, what else do u expect?? 🙂
- Do not eat the left overs un necessarily (mothers and wives plzzz beware!!). Not interested in wasting food?? Give it to your maid or dog or any one….but, u don’t eat, when u r full pleaaseeeeeee!!!
Do’s:
- Exercise for 1 hour – 5 days a week. (Gym/Power Yoga/Any form of dance/Any form of sports/Swimming/Cycling/Kickboxing)
- Get a nice pair of shoes and call a friend/love/hubby dear/neighbour and do brisk walk or run and TaLk 🙂 Get fit and socialize…not a bad deal..right??
- Have u ever thought, 2 glasses of WARM WATERÂ can do wonders??? No m not kidding!! Â Drink 2 glass of warm water as soon as you get up in the morning (too lazy to make lemon honey warm water early morning). Drink 2 glasses of warm water after 30 mins of your breakfast, lunch and dinner resp. (Do not drink water right after your meals please.)
- Increase your protein intake (milk & milk products, nuts, Â tofu, dals/pulses, fish, chicken but no red meat…add soya, eggs again no yolks please) to your diet.
- Its very important to boost your METABOLISM…. Drink half cup of black coffee (no sugar, no milk) before your work outs (u wud b surprised by the results)…….I hate GREEN TEA :), but, if u manage to develop the taste, then drink 3- 4 times a day, really helps to give a kick start to your metabolism.
- DETOXIFICATION!!! Try any detox drink (cucumber/beetroot juice, wheatgrass)
Don’ts:Â
- Do not skip any meal. Most of us skip breakfast and sometimes, we skip dinner. But, remember!!! No matter how late u r, DO NOT SKIP MEALS.
- No aerated drinks and canned juices at all….they are loaded only with CALORIES….Yes!!! and are FULL OF SUGARÂ and nothing else.
- Avoid processed food.
- Avoid whites. Replace wheat flour with multigrain flour, white rice with brown rice, breads with whole wheat bread and avoid Maida as much as u can.
- Avoid fried food. How about relishing tawa fry or baked food???
- Avoid or lessen the Carbs in your dinner. (dals, rice, any form of breads including roti, potato etc)
- Do not eat after 8 PM.
Wish u all the best guys!!! I am sure, you gonna loose oodles of weight. Stay fit!! Gain back your confidence….
Would b glad to get your feedbacks and suggestions on this.

It’s a great information dear. Thanks for sharing. Plz suggest me what to take for dinner. I take 2 pulkas. And how to make black coffee. Recently I started my diet plan .is corn flasks ok.thank you.
Corn flakes r gud for breakfast.
Eat salads, lot of vegetable/sabji/curry (whatever u make for dinner) and u can cut down ur roti to 1 (make a stuffed roti, that wud keep ur tummy full)
All the best!!
Also, for black coffee…just take half cup warm water and put half TSP coffee …
Thanks alot for ur valuable advice…will definitely follow
all the best Dimpi…
Hi, thanks for sharing the above information. I have few questions, is point no. 2 you have suggested to walk or run, is it in addition to point no. 1 ? What regime did u follow in point no.1?
I did cardio + kickboxing + squats + ab exercise + lunges + planks and used to run …..u can start with any one thing and then, as your stamina builds up, u can keep adding to ur exercise regime.
Gr8… Goin on d same track..lost 12kgs… Still 15 to go

Thanks a ton for the valuable for the valuable information 😀I am 72 kgs now you have really inspired me, I am going to watch everything I eat and add exercises to my daily routine, just one doubt I usually sleep late around 12 or sometimes 1am if I have dinner before 8pm, I get really hungry later and land up eating more what do I do? And can we eat oats wid veggies for dinner? TIA😀
Thanks!!
Eat at least 2- 3 hours before u sleep.
Yes! U can eat oats with veggies…
Also, a small tip…eat roasted ground nuts or almonds handful or less, khakra in between ur meals whenever u feel hungry…
All the best!!!
Thank you so much for the valuable information, very inspiring😀
Thanks. Very informative. I jst wanna knw if u develop stretchmarks whn u gained weight n did it disappear after losing? I’m a mother of 2 n hv stretchmarks on thighs n arms. Im 58 nw. But still struggling wit them. Could u throw some light 🙂
Honestly, no idea about tht….heard castor oil does help…but, wud suggest check vid any skin specialists… They can guide u correctly…
Your method of explaining is just superb..you are right..we never concentrate on dos nd donts..thank you so much for the valuable information and ideas to regain the lost shape..
Thnks alot!!! M sure these r very common points, but v still don’t follow…so thought of sharing my experience…

Of course!! Brisk walk, running, light exercises u can do all….just avoid ab exercises
hi i have read your article i’m also trying my best as i gain weight after pregnancy. i would like to ask you which exercises & yoga you have done. any link video please suggest.
ty in advance
I did kickboxing, cardio, squats, lunges, ab exercises etc…wud share more details soon….
Hey my problem is my baby doesn’t sleep at night he usually sleeps around 5 in morning so we wake up a most after 12 and then have to feed him so I usually go on without having eaten anything till 1 or sometimes 2 in the afternoon.so automatically one of the meal is missed.wat shud I do
More reasons for u to eat healthy n right amount of food….try some quick breakfasts or smoothies which won’t need much of a time to prepare…. If u can’t manage tht then just hav a fruit!!! N once ur other chores r done, then hav ur meal…
awesome..I eat healthily but am too exhausted to exercise..when I start to exercise I keep injuring myself, get ill & in pain – so I stop!
how did you build that up? & esp need to make muscles strong? (trained yoga but not practiced since 6 years – need to get back to it)
G8 tht u follow a healthy diet….exercise is imp …no matter how painful it is in the beginning…. Start with brisk walk….20 mins, then increase it to 30 after few days, then 45 n then 1 hour….similarly, start with simple exercises or yoga postures, then gradually increase your timings n make it intense…pain is temporary, but the new healthy n fit look wud b permanent… Go for it…don’t loose hope!!
Hi thanks for great information, just one question, I have 2-3 servings of soup in whole day, like dal soup, tomato soup with zero oil, and 1 salad along with 2 times 1 full cup milk and some pecans or almonds. So with this daily diet, can I loose my weight?
For a healthy weight loss, v need a balanced diet…so right amount of carbs,protien, fats, minerals n vitamins….eliminating any of these wud cause problem in future….no need for such strict diet tht u mentioned….relish the food but hav healthy food n exercise for sure….all the things u hav mentioned, r good but plz include some fruits n some form of carbs too….
Hi i am 120kgs i want to reduced atleast 40kgs fast i am 38yrs old pls suggest

Thnx!!! Wish u all the best!!!
Hii….I have been trying for weight loss from last 3-4 months..but no results…I m going for aerobics for one hour daily …still struggling for weight loss…. So confused and feeling depressed too….plz guide me what more I should do….
Don’t b depressed at all…if u r doing Aerobics, u wud surely c some inch loss if weight loss is not there….. Following, a healthy diet is also imp…r u happy vid ur aerobics routine? If not, change it n join sumthing else…sumtime, our body gets used to one kind of routine….get urself checked once to b sure that u don’t hav PCOD or thyroid problems…..all the best!!!
Really nice of you for sharing ur story…i have started wid watching wat I eat..but as ur first point says I don’t get time for exercise…will have to work on dis…thanks a ton😊
V all face tht problem….but, start with 30 mins….m sure once u c the result, u wud get motivated n wud manage ur time 🙂

Very informative and straightly conveyed article..d facts u hav suggested are feasible ones..unlike many other articles….
Can dancing on music at home be treated as an exercise..cz i hv no time for gym or yoga..as I’m a mother of 2..
Thnx alot!!! M glad u all r finding the post useful…yes! Dancing is also a form of exercise…. But, it should not b less than 45-60 mins….gradually increase the intensity ….

I don’t like black coffee, so instead of that what should I take before the workout??
Also plz tell me what is the benefit of taking black coffee before workout?
No need of taking black coffee if u don’t want to. Its one of the way to increase your metabolism. Follow other tips, they would also work!! Thanks
