Dear Komalji,
I would like to lose weight and become fit.
I have tried to go on a soup diet once a week and a fruit diet once a week (two days gap between these two diets). But I feel very hungry and am unable to maintain these diets.
How can I be successful?
Please advise.

Ans: Fad diets are nutritionally deficient and can cause muscle wastage. This can lower your immunity and lead to a deterioration in your health.
To be successful in your fitness goal, you must follow a balanced diet with adequate macro and micro nutrients.
Focus on protein intake and avoid sugary foods, chocolates, fried and fast foods, aerated drinks, savouries, etc.
Adopt a regular physical exercise regimen to build lean mass, drink lots of water and sleep well.
