  DO’S AND DON’TS WHILE FOLLOWING THIS MEAL PLAN:

  ·        
  Do
  not consume milk tea or black tea or any sugary items right after waking up.
  Instead start your day with a glass of water or healthy morning shots and then
  head to breakfast. Never skip breakfast no matter how hard it takes…Having an
  early breakfast keeps our energy levels high throughout the day, keeps us
  satiated and prevents food cravings.

   

  ·
  Breakfast
  should always be in right proportion .After that you can head to the gym or
  follow your workout routine. Always have a mid-morning snack , it might be  a healthy drink or nutrient rich snack that
  is enough to keep you full until lunch time!

   

  ·
  Have
  enough water…this doesn’t mean you have to drink 8 glasses of water in a day even
  if you don’t want to. You should gradually increase the water intake…it may
  take a month or so..but it should increase.

   

  ·
  Have
  a light yet satisfying and fulfilling lunch. This will help to avoid feeling
  sleepy or lethargic for the rest of the day but also keep you fuller till
  evening snacks.Have good source of fats like cow Ghee ..it not only makes the
  food taste better but also make you feel fuller for longer time period and
  avoids unnecessary cravings.

   

  ·       
  Again
  evening snacks should be in small proportion, hassle free and satisfying so
  that you can have an early dinner with equal energy and avoid overeating!

   

  ·        
  Dinner
  has to be similar to lunch but again in the right proportion! Avoid having
  heavy fatty meals and avoid sleeping right after having food! Minimum gap of 2
  hrs must be maintained between dinner and bedtime.

   

  ·
  If
  you are extremely tired then have an early dinner and skip the evening snacks..
