Hurry To Lose Weight? These Two Diet Plans Are Going To Be The Best Option For You
How are you all doing? I am back after a short break as I was traveling due to some family commitment and now feeling great to reconnect with my readers. On this trip, I got a chance to meet a few friends and realized that for most of the people of all generations, keeping weight under control is a huge battle to fight. Another realization was that most of the people are looking for free diet plans in India for effective weight loss. The conclusion of all the diet and health-related discussion turned out to be that there are two diets which are the most effective ones in losing weight, one the most popular, Keto Diet and other one, the plant based diet.
Let us talk Keto diet for vegetarians and non-vegetarians-
There was a time when I was a big fan of the Keto (Atkins) diet as I had managed to lose 40 kilos weight by following low carbohydrate diets but later I could not find it sustainable in Indian circumstances.
It was not only my experience but we see so many celebrities also trying to lose weight with the help of a Keto diet. Keto when followed along with intermittent fasting can be a super-duper successful in shedding extra kilos fastest.

Consider following the zero-carb Atkins diet plan if you can eat eggs and meat regularly. You will for sure get surprising results so, therefore don’t forget to follow it.
If you like pickles and want to pep up your meals then you can even make pickles at home in an easy way.
Weight loss on a Keto diet becomes easy and quick with nonvegetarian food but for vegetarians, it is a little more difficult and taxing as meats are usually zero carbohydrate foods while vegetarian food items are not free of carbohydrates.
The million-dollar question here is regarding the sustainability of achieved weight loss goals as my personal experience tells me that for Indians, it is not a sustainable weight loss program.
Plant-based diet for sustainable weight loss
The second diet plan we are going to talk about is most suitable for Indians. Known by its name “sustainable weight loss diet”, it is considered the most effective way to lose weight by consisting of a range of plant-based products.
Interestingly plant-based diet’s basics cannot be ignored even if one is following a keto or low carbohydrate diet plan. A plant-based diet is comparatively low on calories and high in fiber. The high fiber content keeps the stomach full and satiated for a longer period. Being low on calories and dense in nutrition, the plant-based diet plan is the best sustainable way to lose weight. There are a few things to keep in mind to utilize a plant-based diet to the utmost sustainability.
- Start step by step as giving up on your favorite foods can be overwhelming in the beginning.
- Include superfoods that are nothing but regular foods with better nutrients. These superfoods can be millets, nuts, seeds, green leaves, and fresh vegetables. Consuming them in measured amounts keeping control over portions can see the wonderful weight loss.
- Always drink ample amount of water. When you feel hungry, try drinking water first. It is a proven natural way to fill up the stomach and preventing yourself from overeating later.
- Ensure a protein source in all meals. Egg, soy, or dal is the easiest way to ensure protein in any diet.
- Go for a rainbow-colored diet.
- Reduce oils in meals as much as possible.
- Eat small portions and never skip meals.

One most important thing to remember is that the short-term goal is not going to fetch results. The real mantra for sustainable weight loss is to focus on clean and healthy eating. It is a well-known fact that with the exception of vitamin b12, the human body can get all kinds of nutrients from vegetarian sources. Some good plant-based protein sources can be nuts, soya, and chickpeas. Similarly omega-3, zinc, iron, calcium, and few other micronutrients are all available from plants. All you need is to have a plate full of rainbow-colored vegetables and fruits.
