I'm carrying around an extra 15 kilograms and I'd really like to shed that weight. Can you help me figure out the right diet plan to follow for losing these extra kilos? Is there something specific in my eating habits I should be adjusting?

Avoid processed foods and prefer whole wheats. Restrict sugar intake and fried foods to a minimum. Use an app or counter to measure your daily calorie intake and try to maintain a calorie deficit for each day. Find a sport which you enjoy, such as badminton or yoga, and engage in physical activity for at least 150 minutes every week. Consult a dietician to work out a sustainable diet plan.

Is drinking packed fruit juice like REAL fruit juice every day actually good for me, or is it just adding extra sugar to my diet? I find it convenient since it's easily available in the market, but I'm worried about the health implications. Can it be a part of my daily routine?

Drinking packaged fruit juice like REAL daily isn't as healthy as fresh juice or whole fruits, as it often contains added sugars and lacks fiber. While it's convenient, it's better to limit intake and opt for fresh fruits or freshly squeezed juice when possible.
