To lose weight fast and stay fit, follow these perfect diet plans that burn fat

Want to lose weight fast but not deprive your body? We get 2 nutritionists to share diet plans that will help you lose calories without compromising on nutrients.

No matter how much you exercise or go on unhealthy crash diets, chances are you won’t lose weight in a sustained manner from just these changes. Losing weight need not require extremes of starvation or over-exercising. It just needs good alternatives to the usual junk food that you are eating. With just a few changes in your diet, you can lose extra kilos and gain the requisite nutrition as well.

Rekha Sharma, Head – Nutrition, VLCC suggests simple tweaks in your diet, “Consume salads with non-fat dressings like lemon and vinegar. Use at least 4-5 servings of fresh green vegetables and fruits every day. Take fruits as a dessert and avoid sweets and other rich cream-based dishes.”

Nutritionist and food consultant Anjali Peswani says that meals shouldn’t be skipped if you want to lose weight. But the quantities need to be monitored. “Eating at regular intervals does not mean one has to eat every two hours but eat whenever your body asks for food. Start your day with a good breakfast, followed by lunch and a light dinner,” she says.
