December Weight Loss Diet Strategies
- Eat smaller and more frequent meals
- This will ease digestion and also help boost your metabolism
- Include more fruits and vegetables (1-2 serving fruit and 3-4 veggies) in yur diet
- Keep the vegetables slightly cooked to avoid bloating
- Go green (atleast one serving of green should be included in the diet)
- Include slow carbs in the diet (reduce consumption of rice and wheat)
- Choose your fat wisely (10-15 grams of visible fat daily)
- Intermittent fasting needs to be followed religiously (minimum 10 : 14 window)
- Limit your caffeine consumption and optimise timing (green detox tea / sukku tea are great alternatives)

Your Broad Diet Plan
- Wake up and consume 2-3 glasses of luke warm water
- Fast opener
- 1st week : 6 soaked almonds and 1 soaked fig
- 2nd week : 2 soaked walnuts and 6 soaked raisins
- Replace regular tea / coffeewith super green matcha tea
- Matcha tea contains less caffeine, more antioxidants and is a clean drink
- Matcha Tea
- I have been using the ‘Oziva’ plane based matcha tea and I highly recommend it
- The ‘Oziva’ plant matcha plus is a combination of 100 % organic japanese matcha with activated charcoal and licorice
- It also contains whole food like pomegranate and ginger
- As ‘Oziva Matcha Plus’ is rich in antioxidants, it helps in controlling skin pigmentation, dark circles and prevents uneven skin tone
- Licorice also known as yashtimadhu prevents hyperpigmentation and removes existing dark spots. It also helps in reduction of inflammation
- The activated charcoal present in ‘Oziva Matcha Plus’ helps in removing dead skin cells and brigtens skin
- This tea can be consumed by adding 1 scoop of Matcha Plus in 150 ml warm / hot water
- You can even make smoothies out of this matcha tea
- Post lunch : Have herbal tea
- Make sure you keep the meal size small
- Continue with your workout
- Follow a fixed eating routine
