Guide for a personalised & effective weight loss diet plan:

1. Eat adequate protein

Adding more protein to your diet may help you feel fuller for hours after eating. Incorporating more protein to your diet may also help you feel fuller for hours after eating. It should come as no surprise that protein's capacity to boost metabolism, enhance fullness, and reduce hunger can aid in weight loss. You are advised to consume about 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram weight. 

2. Eat fibre

Fibre is often confused for carbs especially refined carbs. However, fibre is essential for digestion and many other functions in the body. Just 30 grams of fibre daily can be just as helpful for weight loss, lowering blood pressure, and enhancing insulin sensitivity as a more elaborate diet.

3. Draw a rough calorie intake limit

Your daily calorie consumption is influenced by your age, sex, body mass index, height, and amount of activity. In general, you'll require more calories to maintain your present weight the more active you are. Calculate the same and ensure you don't consume more or less than the amount necessary for your body.

4. Eat enough fruits and veggies

Fruits and vegetables provide us with a large number of nutrients and health benefits. When trying to lose weight, many of us resort to strictly eating fruits and veggies (salads) as meals. However, you are encouraged to incorporate them into a balanced diet. Aim on eating about 2 cups of fruits and 2-3 cups of veggies daily. 

5. Skip on refined carbs, eat complex carbs

Many who are attempting to lose weight believe that carbohydrates are the problem, but they actually play a crucial part in your health, especially when it comes to giving you the energy you need to get through the day. To receive the most nutritional benefit from your food, choose complex carbohydrates with less calories. Foods that are rich in complex carbs are fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, oats, and legumes, etc.

6. Account for other calories

When trying to lose weight, we often record the calories we're eating through our meals. Or, many of us snacking on healthy foods forget to account for the calories for same. For example, if you are snacking on nuts, make sure to eat adequately. While nuts are healthy, they are also high in calories. Same for alcohol, make sure to account for drinks you might consume and opt for low calorie and healthier options.

Keep these points in mind if you are planning to alter your diet to achieve your desired weight.
