Hi Sonal,

For your conditions, it is not necessary to have a high protein diet at all. All you need to follow is a balanced diet and regular exercise to reduce abdominal fat. There are no low fat vegetables and fruits. All of them are equally healthy. Eat at regular intervals and walk regularly to keep weight in check. I will be starting online consultations soon. So you can get in touch with me soon.

Hi prathibha, hmmm you didnt tell me your height, so if i assume you are 5ft 2- 5ft 5 then your wieght should be 46- 52 kilos. Add kilos for each inch from 5 ft 2. This weight wont apply for all. This weight is for a small frame person…..

You need to increase your protein intake.
Start your breakfast witha high calorie fruit such as grapes, bananas,chickoo etc. with your usual breakfast with an egg white( boiled) and if you are veggie then you can have some sprouts about 30 grams.
lunch can be same as usual I am not going to increase the intake. But do have a glass of milk/ a cup of curds and some dal for protien.
If you are a non vegeterian, then some fish/ chicken.
Evening a handful of nuts such as raisins, almonds and walnuts.
Dinner same as lunch but you can have some sambar.
but do not forget to have a glass of milk before going to bed.
This will increase your protein intake by atleast 20 grams.

Try and let me know. Dont expect immediate weight increase. It takes time. You may not see any gain, but your stamina and immunity will improve.
