Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Create Stories Social Welfare Society organised a seminar on ‘Healthy Living’ at Burning Studio, New Palasia, Indore on Sunday.
Yoga practitioner and dietician Dr Preeti Shukla said, ‘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.’
During the seminar, a woman entrepreneur participating in the session talked about the struggle to gain or lose weight even after following a strict exercise routine.
Shukla said, “even after performing exercises, 70% of the people are such that they do not lose any weight and also those who want to increase their weight, failed to do so.”
She further said that, “In such a situation, a successful diet should be taken according to our body metabolism because everyone's body is different.”
“Good diet means a balanced diet in which the proper amount of calories, protein, fats etc, should be there,” added Deepak Sharma, who has been practicing a balanced diet and intermittent fasting.
“You should not expect any results by following a fad diet,” Shukla said.
Further, she added that many people start exercising on an empty stomach, which is never suggested. One should start exercise after having a few nuts or dry fruit. Shukla said.
Yoga trainer Pankaj Soni said that after exercise, we must eat protein rich food like sprouts, sour pancakes made of lentils, etc.
