Shitija then went on to narrate her top 5 tips:

1. First of all, ditch the packaged foods. They are a big no-no.

2. Second, include a lot of leafy green vegetables: broccoli and onion; all veggies are great except the starchy ones.

3. Third, include avocados and walnuts (in your diet) as they are great for good fat.

4. Go for antioxidant-high foods like blueberries. Also include green tea (in your diet); that is a great beverage, and kombucha is going to do a world of good to your gut health.

5. But my favourite has got to be protein; it is always an integral part of any fat loss journey.
