Q: I am a 37 years old man with a height of 165 cm and weight 81 kg. I take the following diet and need to reduce weight. Mornings I walk for 4 km and then have a cup of tea. My breakfast includes 2 paranthas or 4 slices of bread with butter or eggs with a cup of tea. I again have a cup of tea at around 10 AM followed by lunch consisting of 2 chapattis with vegetables and curd. In the evening I have a cup of tea and then dinner, which consists of 2-3 chapattis along with vegetables or rice with cereals. I want to lose 10 kg. Please suggest how can I achieve this?
