Actually I have cut down on chapatis..i.e. brown wheat bread. I used to eat 3 chapatis ..now I eat 1.5.

I stopped drinking cow milk. It has calories and fats I changed to skimmed milk. I am taking various pulses for snack - very little though. I eat 2 apples/oranges/guava or small portion of papaya or cantaloupe fruit if I am hungry instead of fried food which I used to eat lot before.

I am also taking a high content protein powder with low calories together with skimmed milk once or twice a day. It is called Humyl and is for diabetics. It is by FDC ,a pharma company in Mumbai. It has 45 g protein/100 g of powder and 300 calories. I take 40-45 g of this powder daily with skimmed milk in divided doses.

If not this,I take Ensure protein powder sometimes.

I walk 45 min daily.

I have already cut down 3 kilos. If I take 250 mg carnitine ,I would cut down more.
