Weight gain is a common health issue found in almost every person. The food that you eat, the lifestyle that you maintain and the stress of work adds to weight gain. Obese people have fewer energy levels and health issues like heat problem, trouble in breathing, indigestion, etc. crop up in their body.
Everyone is striving to fight obesity. And the thumb rule is to lower your everyday calorie intake. You not only have to eat healthy which is easily digestible, but you also have to count the calories that you eat. Your eating habit constitutes 80% of your weight loss program. The other 20% is physical exercise. We have mentioned a diet chart below which can help you shed some pounds.
