    Hi , its on higher side , reduce ten percent at least . Pease read what I have t say , it may be of some help :

    Exercise : 45 minutes cardio that is brisk walk or treadmill walk or jogging and 15 minutes of weights like dumb-bells , this is muscle strengthening exercise , sit ups will have same effect . secondly

    Diet Chart :

    8:30 breakfast

    Tea or Milk 1 cup +

    whole wheat bread with salad filling /Dalia with vegetables/egg boiled ( white part only) { chose any one option}

    11:00 mid-morning

    sprouts or roasted gram ( 10 gm )

    1:30 Lunch

    salad /soup + chapati 2 small ( no rice) , dal,vegetables ,curd of double toned milk

    5:00 Evening tea

    Tea/fruit ( one apple or one pear , no other fruit is allowed )/upma/poha add vegetables in these things.

    8:00 Dinner

    should be of same things as lunch

    Bed Time :

    around 10-11 pm pudding without sugar

    Logic for advising five meals a day : when ever we eat some thing , intestine work to digest it , in that process intestine use calories to digest food , so we give intestine to work but we do not provide calorie high foods , that way body is benefited .

    Lot of salad in diet , steamed food like broccoli , beans , any kind of leaves like spinach etc , peas etc. Use lentils also. Add soya bean flour or black gram floor to wheat floor to increase protein value & decrease caloric value ( 75%wheat flour+25%soybean flour)

    Drink plenty of water. Any thing made from refined flour like biscuits , bread , noodles ,anything from bakery is a bad food .No sweet thing for you , no sugar at all .

    Avoid :1) potato , Arbi , yam , sweet potato

    :2) sweets,sugar,gur,honey,jam,jelly etc.

    can substitute chapati with :

    one chapati is equal to : one serving spoon of parboiled rice or one small plain dosa or one cup upma/ poha , add green vegetables anywhere & everywhere you can.

    Oil : olive oil preferably virgin olive oil 500 ml ( half liter only ) in whole month for one person.

    Since Diet is restricted in many ways , it is advised to take some vitamin supplements like tab supradyn one on alternate day .

    Finally one must try to figure out why the weight has gone this way , is it simply over eating ? if not then Thyroid hormone should be checked by finding out TSH level . secondly in girls hormonal issues can be underlying cause as indicated by delayed periods , abnormal fat deposition especially around waist line .. if that is the case then an ultrasound examination of uterus and ovaries should be done. . Feel free to ask any thing on narain1949@yahoo.com , all the best
