Reasons why you're not losing weight
Introduction
Hello friends, everyone tries to lose weight, but it doesn't happen. I have been observing this every day, and I will tell you why it's happening.
The Role of Grains
One food that is everywhere and causing weight loss problems is grains. In medical terms, we sometimes call grains cereal or grain. It means your weight will always stay the same if you eat grains. Which grains are included in this? Rice, corn, millet or sorghum? Whatever you say, please tell me if it's kutti or bajra or dalia or oats or suji.
We have named all the grains, and whatever you make with them will increase your weight because they are high in calories. If you want to lose weight, you must cut calories; these high-calorie foods will not help. I eat very little, but I eat roti (Indian bread). I said if you eat roti, your weight will not decrease; you must stop all these items or at least reduce them. Now the person asks, sir,
How do I fill my stomach?
Filling Your Stomach with Fruit
I said you can fill your stomach with fruit in many ways.
What fruits are there?
You can eat apples, pomegranates, nashpati (pear), watermelon, muskmelon, Indian orange, and other fruits.
The Importance of Vegetables
Eat as much as you want, but only eat fruits, salads, and vegetables; whatever vegetables are cooked should be made without oil. If you can do this, then naturally your weight will decrease.
The Role of High-Calorie Foods
Remember, one gram of carbohydrates contains four calories, and all the grains we have mentioned, whether it is suji (semolina), jawar (sorghum), or bajra (pearl millet), all have calories. Even in besan (gram flour), there are equal calories of carbohydrates and protein, so it also has calories. Eating besan ki roti or anything made from besan, like chana (chickpeas), will not decrease your weight. So it would be best to cut out cereals and lentils like what we nowadays call namkeen (savory), which is made from lentils and is also high-calorie food. And one thing to remember is that this is not the highest-calorie food.
High-calorie foods are fried foods, which will lead to weight gain. However, your weight may stay the same once you award these serials. You need to understand this fact. Apply it to your life and see how quickly your weight decreases.
Finding Your Ideal Weight
I have had patients lose ten kilograms in one month. But it is okay to lose ten kilograms; the goal is to lose five or six kilograms per month until your weight reaches the ideal level. Ideal weight means your BMI is 24-25. If you can achieve that, then you have succeeded.
Conclusion
After that, you can eat cereals and fruits, or your weight will decrease. People come to me, and their weight keeps dropping. Then I ask them to eat grains, and their weight stabilizes.
