  • Quote: Hi All, I used to eat and drink in bulk at night, I gained a lot of weight and have tires around my waist. I am a vegetarian and started to take weight loss very seriously recently.

    I eat a cup of chopped fruits in the morning and half piece of whole wheat bread with green tea (honey + lemon). I don't take juices, junk foods, sugar in any form except natural sugars from fruits and veggies.

    I eat veg soup or lentils soup at lunch with 1 tsp olive oil and very little salt. In the evening around 5.30 or 6.00 I eat a slice of water melon. I keep drinking regular water through out the day. I sleep at 7.30, get up early and exercise for half an hour.

    I am following this routine from 7 days, I have completely stopped taking alcohol.Once in a few days I drink 1/3 cup milk + very little sugar tea.

    My question to all of you is with this routine how much time will it take to lose weight and tires around my waist. I don't have weighing machine so I haven't checked my weight yet. Thanks

    Good for you pyu for making a lifestyle change! Your breakfast sounds yummy and probably keeps you full for a long time. I find a lot of factors go into losing weight: how closely I stick with the program, physical activity, and starting weight. Weight loss is also typically a little faster up front, then evens off over time. Once you get a weighing machine I would recommend weighing yourself once I week so you can track your progress.
  • Hi Inkrid, Thanks for replying. I agree with your comment I think I want to be in shape more than losing weight, for example my tummy tires. I don't mind weighing a few pounds more or less given the fat is even across the body. Trying some new stomach exercises, lets see.

    Thanks healthylivingalways that you liked my breakfast, I appreciate it. I bought a scale few days ago. I weigh 125 as of now.
