Ideal Diet

The following is something a Dietician suggests as an ideal diet suited for the average south indian family. As recollected by my mom after watching a show.

Morning 6 AM - Coffee or Tea or many MILK based drink. about 200 mL

Breakfast between 8 AM and 9 AM
Any indian tiffin item. Idli or Dosa or Upma or Pongal with side dishes like sambar and chutney. To avoid noodles, corn flakes, sauce etc.

Quantity: As much to fill your stomach. Do Not Eat more than what you can fill your stomach with.

11 AM some kind of fresh fruit juice, with enough amount of sugar. about 200 mL again.

LUNCH 12:30 pm to 1:30 PM
A Good Indian Meal. Rice, Sambar, Rasam, Butter Milk, Vegetables, Chapati/Puri. To eat equal amount of Vegetables as Rice and Wheat stuff.

Quantity: As much to fill your stomach. Do Not Eat more than what you can fill your stomach with.

4 PM a Fruit or salad or a cup of boiled pulses (sundal like stuff)

6 PM any milk based drink about 200 mL

Dinner 7:30 PM to 8 PM
Same as Breakfast or Lunch.

NIGHT 10 PM One serving of Butter Milk with salt and other seasoning. about 200 mL

This post is a sequel one of my earlier posts.
Heavy Weight Champion

The doctor apparently claimed that if one could follow this diet meticulously and do enought routine physical work, one can keep the waist size in control. Also, according to the doctor, the key issue is to avoid exotic food. Just because one has access to it, it is not good to thulp a generous serving of Spl Mysore Pak or Thirunelveli Halwa.

One only hopes to stick to it, to the extent possible. The one thing i can definitely not follow is "Sleep atleast by 10:30 PM and wake up by 6 AM"

Comments:
it all looks good da... my only issue with this diet is it doesn't have enough of "milk based drink 200 ml" - i need at least 6 helpings of that a day!
 
Looks pretty doable. Infact except for the milk in the morning and the buttermilk at night, my diet seems to be very similar to this diet. And physical activity also happens, but waist size control does not happen.

Must be the exotic stuff that also happens from time to time.
 
totally disagree with the thulp max diet that doc has recommended.
if one thulps like that, one has to go 20 rounds of the insti stadium carrying a harbound, big font, thick paper, unabridged print of mahabaratha on his head.
or recite the harbound, big font, thick paper, unabridged print of mahabaratha daily. THRICE!


also, what is the point of restraining oneself from thulping mysore pak or Thirunelveli halwa?
one will miss out on the best things in life...
and why care if i am fat, as long as my girlfriend is okay with it? :)
