Proteins, greens and coffee along with exercise
I am your regular office goer in the 30-35 years age range, male. I was a 200 pounds before I embarked on this regime. Here are the things I did, all of them came naturally to me and didn’t require a forceful deviation from my regular stuff:
I changed my breakfast to that of beans and sprouts, with either juice or buttermilk to down it. I started parking my car somewhat away from the office area, which avoided a U-turn and from where it was easier for me to beat the traffic in the evening. This led me to walk more in the morning and about 45mins after my breakfast. At office was when I had my first coffee, cutting on the one in the morning. The lunch was either skipped, or on bad days I had a protein based (grams, greens, etc.) salad. Some more coffee and then heading home by 5:00pm. That’s when I had something like sandwiches, and it was a good two hours at least before I go to bed.
This simple process of sticking to proteins and greens, with the usual coffee, and light exercise following any intake worked for me. I realized I was getting fitter when I had to catch a train and was running on the platform with my luggage. I reached my seat, and was not so much out of breath! I didn’t have to hold my body together as before, it just went along with my endeavor.
The weight I lost was not very high, about 15 pounds over an year, but i became fitter, and that’s what my target is. I have seen several consultants prescribe a similar strategy, though it is not complex for starting out, at least, on your own.
