Do not follow any diet that you cannot follow for a long time, take a balanced diet according to your routine and stick to it. This was the conclusion of a seminar announced by dietician Dr Preeti Shukla in a seminar with fitness freaks and yoga practitioners at a yoga studio in New Palasia on Sunday.
A women entrepreneur participating in the session talked about the people struggling to gain/lose weight despite strictly following a strict exercise routine.
Shukla said, “When we follow any exercise, even after following it, 70% of the people are such that they do not lose any weight and even those who want to increase, their weight doesn’t increase.”
She explained that, “In such a situation, a successful diet should be taken according to our body and routine because everyone's body is different.”
“Good diet means balance diet in which proper amount of calories, protein, fat etc should be there,” added Deepak Sharma, who has been practising balanced diet and intermittent fasting.
“You should not expect any results by following a fad diet,” Shukla explained.
Further, she added that many people start exercising on an empty stomach, which is never suggested. “You should start your exercise after taking a few nuts or dry fruits,” Shukla said.
Yoga trainer Pankaj Soni added, “After exercise, we must take protein rich food like sprouts, sour pancakes made of lentils, etc.”
