Fitness – The Vegetarian Way. Join Us.

Some members of our team have been talking about wanting to get fitter but they don’t have the resources and information available to them. It’s one of those things that everyone knows is right, everyone wants to do, everyone ‘plans’ to do, but only a very few take the journey. So to get the Fitness – The Vegetarian Way. Join Us.

We want to take this journey ourselves and share what we learn.

Here is what we are going to start.

EXERCISE:

  • Start the day at 4.30 am with 45 minutes of brisk walking followed by push-ups.
  • Total workout between 1 hour and 1.5 hours daily. No skip days.

DIET:

  1. WakeUp – 5:00 am: One glass of lukewarm water with half squeezed lemon
  2. Breakfast – 7:30 am: Brown bread vegetable sandwich (maximum 4 breads)/poha/muesli/oats and milk/besan chilla
  3. Fruit Brunch at 11 am: Apple/papaya/watermelon
  4. Lunch – 2:00 pm: 2 to 3 chapati/1 papad/curd/vegetable curry/dal + unlimited Salad
  5. Evening snack – 5:00 pm: 12 soaked almonds
  6. Dinner – 8:00 pm: Vegetable soup
  7. Before Bed – 9:30 pm: One glass milk

NOTE:

  1. DISCIPLINE is the key. Don’t miss twice.
  2. No refined sugar (use jaggery once in a while).
  3. Low salt.
  4. No matter what your spouse/mother makes, don’t succumb to their emotional tactics or the lure of the delicious dish they cooked. This is going to be the hardest part, so be determined. Remember that the ‘Right’ needs to be done – no matter what.
  5. 1 Burger = 1.5 hours of exercise. So, choose wisely what you put in your stomach
  6. No outside food. Cheat Days only on special occasions like birthdays/anniversaries/big festivals. Each cheat day to be followed by one day fast.

STRATEGY

  1. Prepare in advance for what we’re going to eat.
  2. Make healthy choices more visible in our surroundings.
  3. Have goals. Measure everything.
  4. Maintain a journal of our progress.
