Trainer Sunil Shetty said, “You don’t need to starve, you don’t need fancy diets, you just need to fix 3 things — protein, movement, consistency.” “Most beginners fail at fat loss because their meals are low in protein and high in cravings, which means you’re hungry again in 2 hours and end up overeating,” added Sunil.
Weight loss morning routine
He advises starting your day with warm water, lemon, and a pinch of cinnamon to wake up your system. You can have black coffee, an apple, and peanut butter before your workout for clean energy. Your breakfast should actually fill you up, not spike your hunger. So, he recommends going for sprouts salad with peanuts or besan chilla with veggies.
Afternoon diet plan
“Lunch is where most people mess up,” said Sunil. He advises keeping it simple and protein-focused. You can have two chapati, paneer bhurji, salad or rice, dal or grilled chicken, if you’re non-vegetarian.
Evening and night diet plan
In the evening, instead of tea and biscuits, Sunil recommends switching to green tea and roasted chana or mixed seeds. Dinner should be light but high-protein. According to Sunil, you can consume paneer/tofu salad or grilled chicken with veggies, so your body recovers while you sleep.
Sunil said, “Eat like this, and you’ll easily hit your protein, stay full longer, and naturally eat fewer calories without even trying.”
