This 21 day challenge comes from the belief that it takes 21 days for humans to make it a habit.
The 21 day challenge is about taking up a challenge/action follow through it everyday without fail and try to make that particular action into an habit.
This action can be exercising yoga everyday, or as simple as waking up at a particular time.
Here in cc few of us have decided to take up this challenge to become healthy eaters which in turn will help us to reduce weight as well.
The challengers come from different part of our country with varied dietary habits and also different physical activities. So keeping these diverse requirements in mind I have come up with a general diet plan.
All we have to do is not skip this plan even for a day. If you do then your day one starts again. By doing this in groups it helps us to stay motivated and the cheer members in the CC can pull us up for falling short.
So here goes the simple diet plan from my doc.
Only two coffees/teas with a one spoon of sugar in a day.
Green tea is ok again without sugar. If you want you can add 1/2tsp of honey
Morning coffee/tea at 6.30
Heavy breakfast 8.30/9.00
It can be two idlis/dosas with chutney
Poha,
Saboodhana upma
Raagi dosa
Manna health mix (chk in Google you might get the alternative in your place)
Oats upma or just oats
Muesli with dates
Or banana/pomegranate with a glass of tender coconut
These are the options given to me so sharing. If you are non vegetarian you can add eggs in your breakfast. Don't eat maida at all. Brown bread/multi grain bread should be ok.
Around 11.30/12.00 anyone of the option
Buttermilk
Nimbu pani
2 Tomatoes
1 Cucumber
Couple of raagi/oats/multigrain biscuits these do come without maida. Please do check the label and ingredients in the pack.
Around 1.30/2 lunch
One subji, one big bowl of daal, salad/raitha
Around 4.30/5.00 coffee/tea
Anything to your liking but just one tsp sugar.
Popcorn or bhel if you want to have a snack.
Even biscuits would do
Dinner 8.00 not later than that.
I make sprouts of green gram, Channa salad and few others everyday. Mix it with onion tomatoes add little bhel for crunchiness. Dash lemon and coriander as well.
I have made green chutney and imli chutney we use for chaat and store it in fridge. I use it alternatively according to my taste.
Lobhiya and other pulses can also be used.
Easiest is daal dosa which is high in protein and filling as well.
What all not to eat:
No deep fried items
No sweets for the first 21 days since we want to loose weight
No maida
No rice just for this 21 days
Since everyone's physical activities are different we need to adjust our intake accordingly. Because I don't do much gruelling physical activity except climbing up and down three floors.
So you guys have to do your own planning there so that by end of the day you don't feel exhausted or fall sick.
So I want you guys to write down your plan and say this is what you are going to follow for the 21 days. If you slip up even once you have go back to counting from one.
This challenge is going to be helpful not because of the diet but it's a challenge to see how many of us actually are able to finish in the first 21 days. Trust me it's very difficult. I entered into this challenge for marathon training and ended up completing it after 3 and half months
So all CC vasiyon cheer us for this challenge. Thanks
Edit: You can have fruit salad as part of your meal. I try to have pomegranate, banana, guava, papaya at least once every week. Since its season for water melon and musk melons you can have that as well.
But if you want to reduce weight an absolute no to chickoo/sapota, Mangoes (again very high in calorie), jack fruit. If you are having any of these fruits it's better you don't have anything else with it.
Tips from Teju: take ragi malt with butter milk(you can add chilli,ginger and add lemon) ...
I think you guys try it its too good for health...it helps in weight loss,treats anemia and many more use...if you like sweet can add milk and jaggery...
