Hello,
Everyone knows I love food , that's why I have this blog right? but just eating yummy food and not doing any exercise impacts your body and you start gaining weight and fat. I have gained too and have decided to take up a 6 week challenge to loose 6% of my body fat percentage.


Its hard for a food lover to stick to a repetitive diet plan so I have decided to be creative with it.

I also don't see many Indian recipes out there for dieting and wanted to open up my options for when I decide to stick to this diet long term.

Hope you follow along... I will also be eventually adding the recipes for these on my you tube Chanel or here.
Disclaimer:
This kind of diet is for my challenge and will not apply to everyone. The Diet chart is suppose to be specific for this challenge and for my weight category.. Moreover I am not blogging everything that I ate in a day but just important meals. I am not even claiming that these meals work but I am blogging my journey as I progress in the challenge. Apart from this Diet I exercise for 3 days for 45 minutes sessions.

What I ate on the first day of the challenge:
Breakfast: Egg white and spinach omelets (with 0% Greek yogurt and fruit):


Recipe:
Whisk together 3 egg whites , spinach (I cut and washed it (1 cup) and tossed it around in a pan (no oil)), some salt.

Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a pan and add the egg mixture. Turn when done on one side.

Lunch:

Cholay (1/2 cup chick peas cooked with 1/2 cup frozen veggies and tomatoes with 6 oz chicken breast mince)
