I am 28 yrs olds working woman and I am able to loose almost 10 kgs in last 3.5 months under the guidedance of my dietician.But the problem is that I got stretch marks in some areas of my body like thighs, hips.How get rid of this ? Please help.

Hi ,
I am a 28 yrs old working women and 3 months back I was 72 kgs.With the help of an diet consultant I able to reduce 10 kgs.
But though I lost 10kgs , people around me are telling that I do not look like I lost 10 kgs.So weight loss is there but probably that much volume loss is not there.My outfit size has been reduced by 2 sizes.
So I want to know how much body volume loss should I expect ? what is the normal ratio ?

Sourabh ,
Thanks a lot for your response.
Just to inform you that I did not have any crush diet course. It was a proper diet plan and 30 mins per day walk combination.

I talked to my dietician regarding this.What she telling is that once you got these things ,nothing can be done.This may go only with time.Else whatever you do like massage , body tonning or the service provided by some company like vlcc etc are waste.

Hi Nischit ,
I wud suggest you to start your day with a 30 mins walk.Initially start with walk only them as you bcm comfortable with it try to combine walk-n-run.gradually you will get result.atleast contnue it for 3 months to get a effective result.it actualy helped me.Along with not taking sweets or fries or other hi-cal food ,do not forget to take 3 ltrs water per day .
All the best !!

I have few qsns ....

1. what is the best way to take it ? Shall I keep it in water overnight and take on next day morning ?
2.Does taking 2-3 almond per day result to weight gain ?

Plz response..

Nice article.It really really helps a lot to make a good day for yourself.Earlier, 6 months back i used to sleep at 1.00 am and wake up at 9.Whole day at my work place seems to be latherjic borning and also started having headache regularly.Now I changed my routine totally and I made a BIG difference.Waking up at 6 am , followed by 40 mins of walk.At morning I am no more in hurry for office.Getting enough time to make breakfast at home or watch morning news or to read newspaper.The day starts with a good refreshing feeling :) And moreover no more late nights..no more heavy heads..now i am getting a sound sleep at 11.00 PM.

Hi Anupama ,

I feel some small corrections are required in your diet chart.First of all you did not mention about time. One basic principle is that NEVER STARV YOUSELF FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS.

I think below things should be changed:

1. Exclude honey from lime water. it's high in calorie
2. DO NOT take tea/coffee as first thing to eat at morning.
3. Always use skimmed milk/curd (britannia/amul/nestle).
4. Better you do not take museli now.It's includes nuts/raisins. You can eat it once you reach the target.
5.There is long gap betwn your evening snacks and dinner. Better you eat one fruit before tea and drink a glass of milk 1 hour before dinner.
6. When you are having sweet/icecream , make sure that you are eating it before evening.
7. And MOST IMP POINT ...you should drink atleast 3 lts of water !!!!!A MUST ...
8. Work out of 30 mins/6 days is must must and must .

By following these basic rules (consulted a reknowed dietician), I lost 16 kgs in last 7-8 months and now happily and easily maintaining 55 kgs :)

Enjoy yourself ... have a healthy life

Love,

Hi ...
I am 29 yrs old and 54 kgs.To tighten my muscles, I have started doing some weight training for hands and thighs. Now, after 5-6 months, my hands and legs are toned up and in much better shaped. But I heard that doing weight training makes a woman's body bulky and guy-like masculine. Is it true ? or just a myth ? Along with cardio , how much weight training shall I do in gym ( 4-5 days a wk) ?

Please help me ....
Thanks in advance
