Dear Shaista, Thank you for the Question

Dear Shaista, Thank you for the Question
Weight gain during pregnancy and breastfeeding is a natural process, dietary modification and physical activity is the key to maintain your weight
Here are few guidelines that can be considered:
- Your diet should include all the 5 food groups (cereals, pulses, fruits, vegetables, milk & milk products). When planning a weight loss diet try to consume a calorie deficit diet. . A very low calorie diet is not recommended if you are still Breastfeeding.
- Try to include whole grains like wheat, millets and multigrain in your diet as they are a good source of fiber and other nutrients.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Engage in at least 30-45 minutes of physical activity of moderate intensity such as walking for at least five days a week.
- If you are Breastfeeding try to include Galactogogues like garlic, milk, almonds, Green leafy vegetables as they stimulate the production and Secretion of Breast milk.

For a customised and personalised meal plan for specific conditions, please contact your Health care professional.

Dear Gouri, Thank you for the question

Yes you can drink water stored in copper bottles on empty stomach.
According to Certified Nutrition bodies Copper is a micro-nutrient, it helps complete the nutrition and mineral requirement of the body. Eating or drinking out of copper vessels is considered healthy as it is great for the immune system & digestion etc

Dear Ajith, Thank You for the question

Intermittent Fasting is recommended for specific health conditions and should be followed under the supervision of health care professionals.
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.
