Drink more water and do swimming if you can, it helps alot.

If drinking more water, raise the amount gradually.

lol, when i had train tracks 3 years ago (braces)..... i ate NO JUNK for a year..... and seriously.... lost soo much weight..... no crisps,no fizzy drinks,no sweets ..really works! : )

A smart idea that everyone would be good to adapt to a certain extent.

eat in small portions :)

Another top tip. 6-8 smaller more frequent meals will more likely keep that metabolism revving.

Check it out

There is a misconception that all fat is bad. There are 4 kinds of fats:

- trans fat

- saturated fat

- mono saturated fat

- poly saturated fat

trans and saturated are 'bad' fats, they raise your blood cholesterol etc....

mono and poly on the other hand are 'good' fats. your body NEEDS them. they also help lower cholesterol.

Another great point. Up the amount of essential oils in the form of olive oil, canola oil, flax oil, and pure butter. Lessen fried foods, and margarines. If its hard as lard, imagine how it will be in the body.

umm, yes it is. Do 2 cardio sessions/day, one in morning on empty stomach and one in evening, 35 minutes each. Find something you like to do, it can be something as easy as walking.

I would not complete cardio on an empty stomach. You will just feed on the amino acids derived from muscle. Increase the likelihood of risk of infection and prolonged illness. ALso add cardio gradually after a good strength training program has set the ground running.

A few more things i want to add:

- daal is an excellent source of protein, but it is also loaded with carbs. so its best to limit your daal intake and have a soy based protein shake AT LEAST 2 times/day instead. don't do tharka to your daal. even while using healthy oils (olive oil) it reaches what's called a "smoking point" where oil starts to burn. the way most apney do tharka, that always happens. when oil reaches this "smoking point" it gets converted to trans fat !!!! you definitely want to stay away from that.

- stay away from processed foods

- eat broccoli

- make TOFU your best friend

- eat small portions so that you are hungry every 2.5-3 hours. this comes to about 5 - 6 meals/day. (my friend already mentioned this)

Quite decent points.

theres plenty of info to find on google.

Whatever you do, do not do this. The internet, gyms, and personal trainers are flooded with junk, the latest fads, and all the blatant lies found in magazines and coming from the mouths of juiced up bodybuilders with low IQs to begin with. It is merely MIS-information, compounded on more MIS-information, compounded upon lies, compounded upon false to no research whatsover.

The bottom line is you are not really over weight. get a descent personal traininer to help you gain some strength and you will fill up the gaps and spaces beneath the skin .

If you are really serious and dedicated to losing weight the best ways are a ketogenic diet or carb cycling. You can look these up on the internet or talk to someone who specialises in nutrition or diet for more information. However, these need a lot of self discipline and dedication and are not good for you to do in the long term.

Have you looked at a Body Mass Index? According to your height and weight you have stated, you are NOT overweight. You are still of normal weight. If you increase your weight over 180lbs, then yes-you'll be entering the "overweight" range.

So if I were you, I wouldn't freak out too much about my weight. Just keep it in check and don't pass 180lbs. No rush to lose weight so quickly, thats unhealthy. Do it slowly over time. Thats what a dietitian would tell you.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is not a good indicator of a 'healthy' weight. It fails to differentiate between fat and muscle. (Muscle weighs more than fat by volume). Weight by itself really means nothing, what matters is your body fat percentage.

For example, let's say there is an over weight individual, his height is 6'2" and his weight is 280 lbs. We can easily find a professional athlete who is also 6'2" tall and weighs 280 lbs. Just by BMI, they are both obese. But when we look at a professional athlete, he has a 6 pack of abs to show. Obviously, our pro athlete is NOT obese !!!! He is an extremely fit individual.

I hope that illustrated that BMI is not a good measure to go by :)

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
