Health Tips: Get that perfect weight!

WEEK 1: You are on a crash diet, surviving on bare necessities and exercising like a mad woman.. Status... Hooray! The weighing scale needles are finally moving backward!

Week 3: Your weight is just about perfect and has been consistent for a while now.

Week 5: You have just put on the two kilos that you lost a few weeks ago. What happened to the 'fantastic' weight loss program?

Reality Check. Just because you were on a diet and exercising does not mean that your weight is going to remain consistent for ever. You need to maintain the perfect weight you worked so hard to attain.

India's top five fitness experts and dieticians give you tips on how to do so.

Nutritionist and Dietician, Dr. Anjali Mukherjee says…

"It is very important to follow a sensible food plan that suits your body constitution. Some people might be allergic to milk and milk products, others might take well to non-veg food. So you have to eat according to what your body needs.

Along with the food plan, you need to exercise regularly. It could be just a 40 minute walk in the evening."

Holistic Health Guru, Mickey Mehta says…

"The first and most important thing to do is to get into an absolute detox and cleansing program. Regulate your lifestyle… correct your eating, drinking, sleeping and exercise habits.

Exercise regularly, ideally in the morning. Go to sleep latest by 10 and wake up by at least seven the next morning."

Celebrity Fitness Expert, Leena Mogre says…

"Try to include weight and resistance training in your schedule. Do some cardio accompanied by a low fat diet. Do not go in for a drastic weight loss no matter what. Always concentrate on losing percentage fat."

Celebrity Fitness Expert, Deanne Pandey says…

"To achieve anything, you must have a positive and strong state of mind. Work towards that first. Then comes time management. Eat your meals at the right time. Don't eat breakfast at 12 in the afternoon. Eat smaller, frequent meals in an adequate portion size.

Have well-balanced meals that consist of carbs, proteins and multi-nutrients. Exercise at least 4-5 days a week. Keep yourself active… walk, swim, do yoga."

Certified Fitness Trainer, Amit Sharma says…

"The body reacts in two ways… If you eat a lot, you put on weight and if you eat too less then again, you put on weight.

To avoid this, eat smaller, more frequent meals probably every three to four hours. Don't fill yourself to the brim. Eat healthy and be physically active."
