According to your height you are not overweight. However, I suggest you start exercising; and avoid heavy foods such as fried foods, oily foods, cream, cheese and sweets.

You can definitely add herbs and spices to food for taste. The food that you eat should satisfy your palate and as well be low in calories to lose weight. For a detailed diet plan and recipes, please read my book titled the ?four week countdown diet? by penguin books.

3. I am 24 years male from last 6 months i am working in night from 7 :30 pm to 4:30 am also I have lost my muscle. My weight is 72 and height is 5.7 inches.

Vivek Joshi

When you train in the gym for a muscular body, your protein requirement would be about 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilo of your body weight. Here is the protein content of some foods.

1 cup milk ? 8 grams of protein
1 cup yoghurt ? 8 grams of protein
1 egg white ? 7 grams of protein
1 slice bread & peanut butter ? 6 grams of protein
Chicken breast half ? 30 grams of protein

4. Hi. I am sumi, 25 years old with 39 KG. I would like to increase my weight 5 KG. I am taking many weight increasing foods. But no changes. Please suggest some ideas to improve my weight.
Sumitha

Here are some ideas:

? Consume whole fat dairy products such as whole milk, regular cheese and yoghurt, paneer.

? Use ?extras.? Try mixing in powdered almonds or malted chocolate powders into a glass of milk. Or add dried fruit or granola to yogurt. You can also mix in nuts, such as cashews or peanuts to salads ? yummy!

? Increase portion size in stages. Try to gradually increase the amount of food you eat at every meal, starting with any one meal. For example, try adding one food item to a typical breakfast ? add some fruit to cereal and milk.
