Q Hi, I am a 22 year old girl, 5'5" tall and weighing 105 kgs. Even though I weigh so much my body, I used to lead a very active life. I never felt obese, as I went for brisk walks and even ran a lot. But last week, I had a fall and the ACL ligament of my right knee got completely torn as per the MRI reports. This ligament problem has been there for years and started when I fell while playing in school. The doctor has asked me to get a ACL reconstruction surgery done. I have my CA exams in November so I’ve postponed the surgery. But I’ve been advised to lose weigh before the operation. Please suggest a vegeterian diet for the same.

Vidya, it’s good that with this weight too you are active, but you must shed kgs to fight obesity. Since now you have a medical problem, only a diet can help you. After the surgery, start exercising so that you get faster results. Here is the vegetarian diet for you.
Early Morning (7 AM): 4-5 pieces of almonds + 2 pieces of walnut+ a glass of skimmed milk.
Breakfast (9.30 AM): 4 tbsp oats or 6 tbsp wheatflakes/ museli or a bowl of upma+ a glass of skimmed milk.
