There are a few things my meal plans have to incorporate:
1. I have less and less time to spend preparing my meals
2. I have less interest in cooking than I did before due to new interests
3. I have to lose weight
4. The food has to be tasty. I can't eat boiled tofu.
5. Food has to be fresh and healthy. I refuse to eat prepared and processed foods.
My new diet plan consists of the following:
Breakfast:
- Toast. This can be a mini bagel or sliced bread.
- Milk. I like to have hot milk made into a chai or a latte.
I take things too seriously most of the time. But this site isn't about that. It's going to be a place where I write down things I know, I do and I want to do about my weight loss.

My Introduction to Losing Weight
My very first experience with eating healthy to lose weight started with a longish conversation with a nutritionist who worked for the hospital. I will always be forever grateful to Mrs. Dasgupta for giving me the basics of a healthy diet that turned into a fundamental base for developing my eating skills. Here it is in a nutshell. I used to weigh 72 kg, my height was 150cm. I lost over 4 kilos with this diet. But I had to stop it prematurely due my grade 12 final exams.
