3 Steps to Win a Losing Battle!


3 Steps to Win a Losing Battle!

Winning a Losing battle! Who wants to lose? We are talking about your body weight! Millions of people are overweight and trying to lose weight and win that battle. 

So what does one do? Look through the newspapers, net, sms, whatsapp, or stare at a hoarding or a poster that promises inch loss and weight loss guaranteed, but at a fee!  Knowing that it is not real, yet one is tempted to try it.  

How wonderful would it be if someone could wave a magic wand over your head and make those extra kilos disappear? But that is not possible.

With a complicated food world, we are surrounded by tasty, affordable food choices, and constantly reminded of food by the media. The combination of too much great-tasting food and too little activity—can make sustained weight loss a challenge. Losing weight takes time and effort. 

Being overweight or obese significantly serves as a gateway to many diseases like cardiac, diabetic, kidney and so on. The three step mantra is 
1.  identify an activity that fits into your life, 
2.  find physical activities that you enjoy, and 
3.  look for activities that you can do almost every day.

Imagine if you take a daily ten-minute walk at lunchtime for a year and change nothing else about your eating or activity, you can lose more than five pounds! 

Pursue activities that you enjoy such as walking outdoors or doing more structured activities like swimming, bicycling, or aerobics with a favorite exercise tape.  

Consistent exercisers get the most benefit, and once you incorporate exercise into your daily life, it becomes second nature.

You don’t have to turn life upside down! Carefully create a plan that is workable for you and your chances of success are greater. 


You have to believe that you can do it—that you can lose weight and keep it off. With the right directions and an accurate roadmap, it is possible to avoid the false turns that are so common.

World Diabetes Day & Children’s Day Yes, You Can! When one thinks of November 14 the first thought that comes to our mind is about Children’s Day and Chacha Nehru. The other important event is of great significance to India, for we are considered the world capital for that… the day is also observed as World Diabetes Day. Diabetes will be the world’s seventh largest killer by 2030 unless intense and focused efforts are made by governments, communities and individuals.    A fourfold rise in the number of diabetics has been observed.  India, China, and USA are among the top three countries with a high number of diabetic population. The numbers climbed in India from 11.9 million in 1980 to 64.5 million. Prevalence of diabetes has more than doubled for men in India (3.7 per cent to 9.1 per cent and has also increased by 80 per cent among women in India (4.6 per cent to 8.3 per cent).     What is alarming is that...

From Cleaning Up to Celebrations Can our “Festival of Lights” be equated as the almost the Indian version of The Thanks Giving week celebrated in USA or the Chinese New Year, where there is almost a week of holidays. Diwali, Deepavali, or call it by any other name this is a festival that no Indian would miss – be it in any part of the world, heralding Celebrations in style.   It is the only festival where Cleaning (Safaai) culminates into Celebration. Time to celebrate with your Family and Friends! Cherish the new dress, soak in to the festivities, visit friends and relatives. Festival of Lights is almost like a New Year. Is it another Festival, where you would lose count of the myriad of the mithai and namkeen (`sweets & savories’); the delicacies, the traditional lunches, dinners, and the digestives that you will consume.    Kaju Katlis, Jalebis, Laddu, Shankarpala, chakli, Chiwda, Farsan, Burfis, kheer, etc., etc., are the typi...

Samavat New year - Time for a Resolutions – Walk, Exercise and be healthy Are you disciplined in your routine or have to be routinely disciplined? As a child you may have followed a set time table in your school and college, you precisely knew the time at which the subjects were taught, the time of the recess when you would quickly grab a bite, or the long recess when you would have your dabba leisurely. Get home and finish tuition, go to play, get back, sit and study, watch tv, surf the internet and go to sleep.   As you joined work, you still followed a routine of the time you left for office, the time you reached office, and the time you reached back home after finishing a hard days work. This established a patter on routine and you followed it in a disciplined manner. Managing so many things simultaneously – time, money, people (family and friends), leisure time and so on.    In all these activities, most of us tend to not manage o...
