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.

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'm really trying to drop some weight, but my job keeps me from working out consistently. I've already cut back on my meals and mostly stick to chapatis and brown rice, steering clear of oily stuff for the last two months. But I'm not seeing any changes. What else can I do to effectively lose weight?
