"Abnormal sleep habits may lead to over weight and obesity.!!!"

Started realizing many facts about overweight and risks associated with.

Six months back, I use to have day nap almost daily after having lunch which also contributed my weight gain.  Once I realized the fact completely stopped day time napping.

Walking about 20+20 minutes keeps me thinking about my health and I keep on programming my schedules in my mind.  Especially I ensure that I am not using any FM or listing music while walking.  I concentration is just to focus on walking and avoiding obstructions on my way to office.  This patter of walking will typically enable you to focus on your goals.

I may not agree at this point of time that I am following typical balanced nutrition diet, however many food items I have already avoided such as Coffee, oily foods, bakery items, chocolates etc.  However I do have it when it comes on my way and I just give a touch-up on the same and forget.

• I started with milk and Kellogg's Chocos.
• Tender Coconut water and pulp at 11.20 AM.
• Lunch of Two Tandoori Roti's plus Baby corn and capsicum curry.
• Evening cup of Tea.
• At dinner I had One Wheat Parotha + small piece of Rumali Roti and Half Malbar Parota. & Mutton curry with only once piece of mutton, a cup of Biryani Rice followed by Grape fruit juice.  I feel my dinner was bit heavy, however I maintained to avoid Non-vegetarian food as much as possible

My activities:  I walked 7 kilometers in whole day with some exercises.

After couple of days, my diet would be based on calories and nutritional counts.

You read it correct:  "Being only 5 KG overweight increases the force on the knee by 14 to 28 Kg with each step."

You just imagine how much pressure you are going to put on your knee when you are over-weighed or obese....
