AT Meal Plan

Firstly I call this a meal plan and not a diet because the word diet has been much maligned, Secondly this plan is based on much reading ,assimilation and trials by my friend- Alex Thomas, I have slightly modified and rewritten the content to my liking; knowing Alex, he wouldn't mind, as long as it helps people. Thirdly, this is a logical plan and that is why I like it.

Calories in - Calories out=surplus/deficit calories <=> gain/loss in weight. True to a certain extent but oversimplified; this causes people to 'Diet' without any positive results. Therefore,
basics first:-
  1. Do not diet/fast/starve your body
  2. Try and follow the age old maxim "Early to bed, Early to rise..."
  3. Keep refined sugar, fats, processed cheese intake to the minimum
  4. Keep milk/curd intake high...
  5. However, drink skimmed/triple-toned milk, or remove cream twice from regular milk before consumption or making curd/yogurt.
  6. Reduce the amount of cooking involved, Roast/Grill food than fry it.
  7. Drink diet sodas rather than regular ones ( yes these taste like p..., all the more reason to switch over.
  8. Eat fibrous fruits like apples, vegetables like carrots,radishes
  9. Eat nutritious fruits like bananas , nuts like peanuts.
  10. Follow a multi-meal approach.
