My Diet Plan
I am a vegetarian and my dietis simple home cooked food.
Since I love cooking and baking
a balanced meal consisting of
pulses/ legumes, fresh
vegetables, salad, rice, chapati
and curd. Variations within the
available food items is done to
retain the calorific value of the
meal and maintain a healthy
balance of carbs, fats and
proteins.
I take whey protein supplement
twice a day, in the morning after
aerobics and in the evening after
weight training. I adhere to meal
timings strictly i.e. breakfast by
8am, lunch around 1-1:30 pm
and dinner between 8:30-9pm.
As a pre workout meal/ snack
banana and oats are my favourite
which I eat about an hour before
my workout.
£In the morning I have a glass
of warm water with a teaspoon of
honey and juice of half a lemon.
£At night I have a glass of
warm water boiled with ajwain
seeds, half an hour after dinner. I
make it a point to have at least
12-14 glasses of water daily. I
have only one cup of tea with
milk in the morning with
breakfast.
£Breakfast is mostly two hard
boiled eggs and a slice of wheat
bread with cheese. I am up at
5:30am for my aerobics class
from 6:15-7:15 am. I have a glass
of protein supplement
immediately on returning home
by 7:30am with the morning
newspaper. Two hard boiled eggs
with a slice of wheat bread and a
cup of tea follows around 8am. I
get on with my household chores
thereafter. I am through by with
most of the chores and cooking
lunch by 11:30am and have a
fruit or a glass of coconut water.
£Around 12:00 pm I am done
with most of the work after
which I make it a point to give
rest to my feet by keeping them
on a flat surface like bed or a
couch. It is during this time that
I read up ,watch my videos and
compare it with the videos on
internet to compare and check
the likely faults and their specific
benefits. Also keeping in touchwith friends, relatives on
personal mail and social
media also takes some of
this time. It is during this
time that I attend to my
responsibilities as the
President Air Force Wives
Welfare Association
(Local) at Bhopal.
£Lunch between 1-
1:30pm after which a few
more chores and
requirements for dinner
are done. An hour long
rest from 3:30 to 4:30pm
follows this. 4:30 pm is the
time for my pre workout
snack/ meal. 5:30 pm is
evening gym time and the
workout lasts till about
7:30 pm including
stretching and cool down.
£During my workout I
have BCAA and water to
stay hydrated. A glass of
protein supplement is the
first thing on return from
the gym. Ration/ veggies
as required for the next day
are bought from the local
vendor after this. A quick
shower thereafter and prep
for dinner follows. By 9pm
we commence dinner with
the news/ a favourite serial
playing on TV.
After dinner and clearing
up, a leisurely walk of half
an hour inside the society
is the time to catch up
with hubby on the day’s
activity and speaking to
my elder son studying at
VIT Vellore. By 10pm we
get back home and have a
glass of warm water with
ajwain. I retire for the day
by 10:30pm.
