Simple Diet Plan Anyone Can Follow

Step 1 - Have a balanced diet

• Your body needs sufficient amount of Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats, Fiber and Micronutrients.

• If your routine consists of low physical activity (which is mostly the case of this generation), decrease the amount of carbohydrates in your diet by 50% and increase the consumption of salads, veggies and soup by 50%.

• You can replace grains with millets.

Step 2 - Drink adequate water

• Average requirement of water for a healthy adult is 3L per day.

• Set reminders to drink water by keeping 3 transparent water bottles in your sight.

• Build a habit of drinking water.

Step 3 - Eat 2 local & seasonal fruits everyday

• Buy fruits and keep them in your sight, not inside a refrigerator. Here, the gist is to have fresh fruits everyday.

• Say “No” to random snacking. If you feel to have a snack, first have water. If you still feel hungry, then you can eat a fruit.

Step 4 - Check your Vitamin D3 & B12 levels

• Do at least one blood test every year on your birthday.

• If you have low vitamin D3, get “Sunlight” not the heat, in the morning or evening. If the deficiency is severely low, consult a doctor.

• Curry leaves and dairy products are an excellent source of natural nutrients including vitamin B12. Again, if the deficiency is severly low, consult a doctor.

Step 5 - Order of having food

• Begin your day by having salad/nuts/seeds.

• Then followed by sprouts/salads.

• Then followed by the actual meal.

Step 6 - Exercise

• Build a habit of doing exercise regularly.

• Proper exercise will automatically improve your diet.

• If you don't feel like exercising alone or don't know where to start, you can join the HaBuild community (no affiliation here). They conduct online Yog sessions everyday that helps in building strength, flexibility and over-all health. The instructor/trainer, Saurabh Bothra, will be an excellent guide in your fitness journey.
