Hello..
First thing is you need to have less of carbs and more of proteins...so best thing is have less qt of rice or reduce the no of chapathis you have and have more of dal or subzi...you need to replace your rice or chapathis with oats,ragi balls or Suji preparations... You can tk any one fruit like banana, orange or Apple or mausambi in your fruits list... Now can add water melon too...you need to have fresh carrots, cucumber or channa dal when ever hungry... Have loads of water too...You also need to engage yourself in outdoor activity like walking,running, jogging, cycling,k swimming for a minimum if 30 to 45 min ..or chose to gym or aerobics as per your liking....you can also include green tea...it will increase metabolism...consult a dietician for a specific diet chart as per your bmi and your food preferences... All the very best.... Thank you

It's all about portion control.
To lose weight,you need to create calorie deficit.Reduce your intake of carbohydrates and replace it with healthier options with less calories.
Meanwhile,do interval training exercises or just move around often.Just don't be sedantary.
It takes time to shed off the kilos.Be consistent.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
No one can stop having food be it for whatever reasons.
Also, no one will ask you to stop having food for weight loss.
You just need to avoid a certain type of foods and start exercising a lot.
If you just want to lose weight without any efforts then nothing can happen.
Best regards.
Dr. Anil kumar jain.
