ANSWER: Hi, Susmitha. Thanks for your question. You have a few kilos to loose, as I see and the fact that you want to lose weight is already a great sign.

Losing weight consists of proper nutrition and daily exercise. There is no trick there. The trick is in knowing how to eat properly, how to exercise effectively and just as importantly - to me continuously motivated on working onr your body and health.

Before I can guide you, please describe to me your typical dialy diet and your day - where do you work? How much do you sit? Walk? Do you run? Bike? Play some kind of sports game? Do yoga? Go to the gym? If so, how often and how do you like it?

Thanks, and I look forward to following up with you.

Answer
Hi, Susmitha. It sounds like although your diet isn't perfect, the bigger problem is lack of exercise.

If you are serious about changing your body and life and losing weight YOU MUST make cardio exercise a part of your life. Elevating your heart rate through daily exericse for at least 20 minutes per day is essential to restoring your metabolism and making you lose weight.  Lack of exercise causes not only obesity but a range of other illnesses and problems down the road. Don't let it happen. Get involved and start exercising. One way to do it is combine "business" with "pleasure." For instance, enroll in a gym and take some active hi-hop dance classes or yoga or pilates. Combine strength trainin (2-3 times a week for 30 minutes or so) with cardio and the results will come.  

I hope this helps.   And if you want a more detailed information and some very useful and practical tips on losing weight check out my site www.practicalhappienss.com and go to "losing weight" section.
