Tips Built for Indian Reality

Most weight loss advice is written for people with access to a gym, time to meal prep, and a diet of salads and grilled chicken. This guide is different โ€” it is built for chai culture, dal-roti meals, family dinners, and office canteen lunches.

1. Count Your Chai Calories First

2. Cook in Less Oil Than the Recipe Says

3. Eat the Vegetables First

4. Use a Smaller Katori (Bowl)

5. Walk for 10 Minutes After Every Meal

6. Finish Dinner by 7:30โ€“8 PM

7. Replace Evening Namkeen with Roasted Chana

8. Have Curd at Every Meal

9. Drink 2 Glasses of Water Before Each Meal

10. Do Not Skip Meals โ€” Reduce Portions Instead

11. Stop Eating from the Packet

12. Sleep 7โ€“8 Hours

13. Eat at the Table, Not in Front of a Screen
