You have to consume less calories then you burn to lose weight. It is really that simple. You can google calorie calculator and figure out how many calories you burn each day. Then start tracking your calories intake each day( i recommend using myfitnesspal). If you go into a caloric deficit of like 500 calories/day, you can lose about 1 pound a week( since a pound of fat = 3500 calories). Start with 500 and then you can adjust it according to your goals.You can also exercise and add more cardio so that you burn more calories each day.

waheguru ji...try to cut down on sugar and salt.....drink more water as it'll help empty extra fat inside......drinking less water tend to make fat more solid and permanent.....make this a daily habit.....

also drink - squeez a lemon in 1 glass "warm to hot" water empty stomach every morning....

Become a complete vegan (no animal products - dairy/eggs/ meat) - all the fat will start to come off without much effort - it happened to me and many others I advised to go vegan.

Dairy is highly insulinogenic and therefore results in fat synthesis every time its consumed.

Another thing that assist in rapid weight loss is freezing water showers or baths - activates brown cells which in turn kick starts metabolism.

Also do something simple like I try to climb 20 floors every day or a brisk 30 minute walk.

Also consume 7-8 cups of green tea every day.

If you follow all of the above, you can see 3-4 lbs coming off a week.

It's not impossible, just difficult.

Try using myfitnesspal for logging food intake. It's surprising to see how much people eat when they record it. As above, you need to be in a calorie deficit. The above website/iphone app helps guide you as to how much to eat by limiting your calorie intake. More importantly, it recalculates your calorie intake as you drop your weight. A lot of diets don't adjust for this so you reach a plateau. But don't focus purely on calories or you could get away with eating a tub of ice-cream. Look at low GI foods.

It's a bit more extreme but quite a few people have lost weight through the intermittent fasting diet. You eat 500kcals for two non-consecutive days. That basically amounts to 2 roti and sabji to eat (preferably in one go) as your only meal in 24 hours. The idea isn't to lose weight (it's a side effect!) but to live longer. Read up on it first.

Exercising is important. Look at progressive exercises - no one expects you to run a marathon straight away. Look at the couch to 5k program (c25k) which is what I used to get me running.

Be careful with your caffeine intake - I've seen people develop palpitations and headaches because they consume so much.

Look up Intermittent Fasting. Lost 30 pounds in 2 months time ago.

[panthicunity]

With fasting you will lose lean muscle - not desirable - the lean muscle mass is your furnace for burning fat

also all the weight you lost with fasting , you will put it right back up - unless you permanently modify lifestyle and diet.

I have the fitness thing but it doesn't work for me. I don't know how many calories a roti is or daal sabji.
