This diet plan is designed to help you lose 10 kgs in just 10 days through a calorie deficit approach. It focuses on meeting your dietary requirements, including the right balance of macronutrients and micronutrients, as well as high fiber content, good protein, and all essential nutrients. Many of my clients have recently followed this plan with remarkable results, and you can achieve similar transformations.
To lose weight, it’s important to consume fewer calories than you burn and eat enough protein. This can help you successfully reduce fat, no matter what or when you eat.
However, it’s also important to consider the impact of different foods and eating habits on weight loss efficiency.
Research shows that paying attention to the types of foods you eat and how you eat them can significantly influence your fat loss.
Personalized Diet Plan
Start your day with our early morning drink, which is crucial for boosting metabolism and hydrating your body.
Morning Drink Options:
- Lemon Water: Squeeze the juice of one lemon into warm water, adding a pinch of black pepper and a pinch of cinnamon. This drink detoxifies your system and provides a boost of Vitamin C for your skin and hair health.
- Ajwain Water or Jeera Water: If lemon water isn’t suitable for you, either ajwain (carom seed) water or jeera (cumin seed) water can effectively reduce water retention and alleviate bloating.
Snack Time:
About 15 to 30 minutes after your morning drink, have five soaked almonds and two walnuts as a snack. These nuts support brain development and are essential for gut health.
Breakfast Options:
Start with a breakfast rich in fruits. Eating fruits in the morning helps you feel full throughout the day and can prevent sugar cravings.
Or,
Start your day with protein pancakes made from minimally processed and highly satiating foods. Blend oats to create oat flour, then mix in the rest of the ingredients and cook them in a pan. Top with peanut butter, sugar-free syrup, sautéed apples, or any topping you prefer.
You can enjoy fruits in several ways, such as:
– Fruit Smoothies: These are tasty, easy to make, and packed with fiber.
– Oatmeal with Fruits: Another great option to incorporate fruits into your breakfast.
- Oatmeal with Fruits – This option is rich in fiber, calcium, and protein, keeping you feeling full longer. For this, use 2 teaspoons of oats and add a variety of fruits and seeds for a nutritious meal.
- Poa (Puffed Rice) – If you prefer a warm breakfast, Poa is a great choice. It is packed with iron. The recipe, which includes peanuts, beetroot, and various vegetables, is available on my channel. The key is to use more vegetables and fewer puffed rice for better nutritional value. This dish is not only delicious but also helps increase your hemoglobin levels.
Mid-Morning Snack:
You can opt for a mid-morning snack if you feel hungry between breakfast and lunch. This optional meal is great for those experiencing hunger pangs around 11:00 a.m. Some good options include:
– Fresh coconut water (avoid packaged versions).
– One seasonal fruit, such as an orange or an apple. Oranges are particularly beneficial for your skin due to their vitamin C content.
– One cup of freshly brewed green tea, which boosts antioxidants and may help reduce belly fat.
Lunch Options:
To reduce calorie intake while still consuming unprocessed foods, enjoy baked salmon with boiled potatoes and a side of sautéed asparagus. To keep energy levels up until dinner, have an orange and, depending on your workout timing, consider adding a protein shake.
There are two easy and delicious lunch options :
- Chila – You can have either besan (chickpea flour) chila or moong dal (green gram) chila. The recipes are high in protein and fiber. You can enjoy them with homemade vegetable curry (sabzi), raita, and mint chutney. Add for 2 to 3 chilis based on your preference.
- Brown Rice Pulao – For rice lovers, brown rice pulao is a great alternative. The recipe features seasonal vegetables like broccoli, corn, carrots, and peas. You can have about 300 grams of this dish for lunch, accompanied by a full bowl of raita for probiotics, plus a side salad for extra fiber.
Mid-Evening Snack:
If you feel hungry between dinner and lunch around 5:00 to 6:00 p.m.
– One cup of tea or coffee, but make sure to avoid any added sugar.
– 20 grams of roasted makhana (fox nuts), which are rich in calcium, vitamin K, and protein. Enjoy them without salt.
– Alternatively, you can have one cup of freshly brewed matcha tea. The benefits of matcha tea are significant; one cup is equivalent to the antioxidant power of ten cups of green tea and can help with weight management as well as improve skin health.
You can choose between a vegetable soup or a tomato soup based on your preference. Just make sure to prepare it fresh at home and try to reduce salt intake during this time of day to help alleviate water retention and bloating.
Salad bowl
You can choose from a paneer salad bowl, a soya salad bowl, or a chicken salad bowl, depending on what you prefer. In your salad, include plenty of vegetables like cucumber, tomato, onion, and lettuce. Use about 50 to 70 grams of either chicken, paneer, or soya.
Prepare a healthy dressing without any salt, using lemon juice, roasted jeera powder, black pepper, oregano, and chili flakes. This delicious salad option is high in fiber and will help you feel fresh in the morning.
As for a bedtime drink, it’s important for your weight loss plan. One option is to have a cup of freshly brewed chamomile tea, which can help relax your nerves and reduce stress levels. It may also lower cortisol levels and promote good sleep, making it a great choice for those struggling with insomnia.
If chamomile tea isn’t for you, another option is to drink either ajwain water or jeera water, which can quickly help reduce water retention, swelling, and bloating.
Remember to drink at least 2 to 3 liters of room-temperature water daily to support your weight loss, remove toxins from your body, and promote good hydration.
Dinner
For dinner, continue to reduce calorie intake slightly with baked chicken breast paired with roasted vegetables drizzled in olive oil.
Conclusion:
Opt for minimally processed foods such as whole oats and multigrain bread instead of refined options like sugary cereals and white bread. These whole foods are packed with essential nutrients, fiber, and protein, keeping you feeling satisfied for longer periods and requiring more energy for digestion compared to their highly processed counterparts.
