Dhruv luhariwal shares his experience on how Fitho weight Loss plan helped him to lose 5 kgs in a month with an easy to follow diet & exercise routine.
Story as shared by Dhruv luhariwal :

My name is Dhruv Luhariwal. I started gaining weight during my board exams when I would mostly sit on a  chair and not move around. My activity level was low & I was easily tempted by tasty high calorie food. I tried many fad diets in the past but that didn’t work for me.The problem with such diets is that they are very difficult to follow and only provide a temporary fix. As a result any weight lost, quickly bounces back once we get back to our normal eating pattern. My belly,obliques & thighs were regions of insecurity to me and I was keen on getting back in shape, so I followed many diets/exercise routines on the internet. But nothing worked until I found Fitho. Some random clicks brought me to Fitho and I’m glad I found it. Wide media coverage prompted me to try the website. I started off with the 1 month plan to see if its really effective and and interesting. Fitho’s weight loss program has worked for me like a charm. They made me realize the importance of nutrition as one of the pillars of weight loss. They provided me with a customized diet plan keeping my needs and preferences in mind .Surprisingly, the  diet  wasn’t a high protein-low carb type of diet but a well balanced diet. That ensured that I didn’t get a nutrient deficiency over a period of time, an aspect ignored by most diet plans on the internet. Coming to the diet, it was easy to prepare & follow and didn’t leave me feeling weak and hungry. It could be consistently followed for a lifetime. Consistency is the key in losing weight and this explains why most crash diets fail as they cannot be followed continuously from a long-term perspective. After just two weeks, I saw visible changes on body. I felt more energetic and livelier. My hips and love handles were noticeably reduced.The website also features bonus exercises and makes the service of a dietitian readily available. It customer support is also top notch. Overall, its an awesome find and I would recommend it to anyone, trying to lose weight.

Ideal Weight Loss

If you were given a choice to lose weight how much would you want to lose and what should be your ideal weight loss.It would make life comfortable if you know that how much weight you could lose within a month and after x months you would reach a desired weight. Suppose you lose 4 kgs a month and by the end of 6 months you would be able to lose 24 kgs. You could actually calculate the expected weight loss and set the time limits according to your own choice. Read this article on ideal weight to set target for your weight loss.

There are some important points that you should keep in mind while planning your ideal weight loss.

Body Composition Analysis: This is the first step towards Ideal weight loss. Body composition analysis gives you a report which tells you about how much fat and muscle percentage is there in your body at different parts. BCA also tells you what your daily caloric requirement is and how many calories you require to maintain the same weight. It also tells how much visceral fat is present in the body. BCA also includes on the basis of your height and weight to be more precise and effective weight loss.

Once you have your BCA report it is time to start taking action. We understand that we have to eat a limited amount of calories per day as the body requires it whether we are at rest or work. It is advisable to not starve yourself as it makes weight loss difficult. Suppose if your daily caloric requirement is of 2000 calories then spread your meals through out the
day on the basis of this. You could break 500 calories for each meal which would be 1500 calories and the rest 500 calories you could distribute for your snacks, biscuits, mid meals etc.

Keep things in mind that don’t assume your daily calorie requirement and eat on an assumed basis. Choose healthy food options which are low in calories and not provide empty calories. Choose fruits, vegetables, whole grain cereals, legumes, dairy, lean meats, nuts and seeds etc. Follow the food pyramid for correct distribution of carbohydrates, protein, fats and
fiber. Read more

Weight Loss Diets

There are various fad diets for weight loss. Atkins diet, banana diet, GM diet to name a few and each of these diets have differnent approach to reduce weight. They work well on the calorie intake but are they providing you with enough nutrition for healthy functioning of the body. Lets understand a few diets and see how much beneficial are they as a weight loss diet.

High-protein, low-carbohydrate diets have been widely promoted in recent years as an effective approach to losing weight. High protein diets typically contain 1g of protein per 1 pound of body weight. Some high protein diets will recommend a percentage of total calorie intake (such as 30% or more).

Drawbacks of High Protein Diet- Excessive protein consumption, particularly animal protein, can result in heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, and kidney stones- It is difficult to eat 6 small meals through the day especially when you are working or travelling- Too high protein can leads to renal (kidney) failure or stress.- Bone loss is also seen with high protein intake as it creates an acidic medium and calcium carbonate from bone will be leached out to balance the ph level of blood.- Consumption of protein more than the daily dietary requirement of the body results in protein being stored as fat in the body.

Weight Reduction Tips

Reducing weight is increasingly becoming popular across the world. Sedentary lifestyle and increasing number of lifestyle related therapeutic conditions are further propelling everyone towards wellness and fitness. The most common  lifestyle disorder symptom is weight gain. Fortunately it is also the easiest to control and manage provided slight changes are made in the current lifestyle. Weight reduction is possible with the right approach towards what we eat through out the day and the activities that we indulge in.

 

 

Here are a few weight reduction tips to lose weight.

Don’t starve yourself: The most common myth amongst people for weight reduction is a strict diet. Few go on yo-yo or crash diet, low calorie diets, atkins diet, banana diet etc. But they fail to reduce weight. Starving sends the message of not enough food and the body slows down the metabolism reducing the speed of calorie burn. Thus fat and the extra pounds burn much more  slower than before making weight reduction difficult.

Don’t skip breakfast: If you skip the nutrition at breakfast then there is seldom chance that you would make it later in the day. Skipping breakfast lowers the metabolism and lack of nutrition makes the body become weak and vulnerable to eating snacks and junk food later in the day. Eat healthy food for breakfast and you would feel fuller and eat less too.

Eat meals on time: Non timely meals disturb the body metabolic cycle making it difficult for the body to adapt to a schedule. Also eating meals late makes you tend to over eat because staying hungry for longer makes you feel hungrier psychology resulting in overeating. Hunger reduces the efficiency of the body reducing the metabolism, hence the weight reduction. Time your meals and watch the progress.
