Dear Sanjana, Thank you for the question

A sustainable and healthy weight loss regimen, should target on overall weight loss and fat reduction. Weight loss requires a holistic approach that involves lifestyle modification which includes Dietary modification, Physical activity and stress management.
An ideal weight loss meal plan should include calorie deficit diet with appropriate exercise regime.

Here are few guidelines that can be considered:
- Eat a well-balanced diet including all the 5 food groups (cereals, pulses, fruits, vegetables, milk & milk products).
-Try to include whole grains like wheat, millets and multigrain in your diet as they are a good source of fiber and other nutrients.
- Do not skip your meals. Have small quantity of meals at regular intervals.
- Choose healthy snacking options in between your meals.
- Monitor your portion size and have home cooked meals.
- Fiber in your meals can potentiate the satiating property, suppress excess hunger and control food intake. All fruits and vegetables, whole grains etc are a good source of fiber.
- Try switching from saturated fats and trans fats to MUFA (mono-unsaturated fatty acids) & PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acids) as they are essential fatty acids and are good for your health. Include good amounts of nuts and seeds to add healthy fats in your diet.
- Consume fresh, seasonal fruits as they contain many essential nutrients and are good sources of fiber.
- Carbonated and alcoholic beverages to be limited or preferably avoided.
- Deep Fried foods to be restricted. Method of cooking like baking, grilling, boiling, steaming is preferable over deep frying with excess fat/ oil.
- Minimum of 8 glasses of water should be consumed to keep yourself hydrated.
- Engage in at least 30-45 minutes of physical activity of moderate intensity such as walking for at least five days a week.
- Have your last meal at least 2-3 hours before Bed time.
- Try to follow a good sleep regimen that is good in terms of both quantity and quality.

It is specified for different individuals’ basis different metabolic rate, need and fitness goal. Ideally for apparently individuals without any underlying medical conditions the ideal time duration for Intermittent fasting is when you can eat during 6-8-hour window period and fast for the remaining 14- 16 hours.
