I've been struggling with being 20 kgs overweight and I'm not sure what more to do. I keep up with my aerobics every day for an hour and I really want to lose this extra weight. I'm currently at 89 kgs and I'm 5 feet 8 inches tall. I stick to a vegetarian diet and love my dairy, fruits, and veggies. Could you help me with a diet plan that's effective for shedding these extra kilos?

View allI'm a bit concerned because I just got over typhoid this month, and my doctor mentioned I should stick to homemade food for at least three months. I'm puzzled about what exactly I should be eating and what I need to avoid. Is it okay for me to have non-veg? On top of that, I'm also looking to shed about 10kgs since I'm overweight. Can you guide me on a diet plan that takes all this into account?
It's important to follow a healthy diet after recovering from typhoid and considering your weight loss goals. You can include non-vegetarian foods in moderation. Focus on a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid spicy, oily, and processed foods. For weight loss, you can consider a low-calorie diet with regular exercise.

I've been a vegetarian all my life, and recently, Ive been worried about my protein intake since sometimes my busy schedule makes it hard to have a balanced vegetarian diet with enough protein sources like milk. Someone I know mentioned Protein X as a supplement, and I'm considering it, but I'm not sure if it's the right choice. Could you tell me how long it's safe to use Protein X continuously? Are there any side effects that I should be aware of, particularly for myself and my sister, whos around my age? Thanks!
It is not advisable to start taking protein supplements without a recommendation from a qualified phyisican. They can have various adverse effects. Try to increase protein through dietary sources. Dal, soya, and beans are great vegetarian protein sources. Eat 6 meals in a day, 3 heavy calorie rich meals and 3 lighter meals to keep energy levels optimal through the day.
