My fifth day, of course went well with strict diet and exercises without hampering my regular activities.

Few important give-ups:  I left coffee temporarily but not permanently.  Sugar intake has been minimized.

Diet:

• As usually A cup of milk plus Kellog's Chocos.
• Tender coconut.
• Lunch:  Two Tandoori Rotis and Vegetable Curry.
• Evening:  A cup of Tea and three Britania Multi-grain biscuits.
• Around 5 PM, I had pomegranates.
• At 8.00 PM:  Two Rotis plus Daal.
• Around 9.30 PM, I had  one orange, and one cup cake.

Activities:

• I am adding some time for exercises and I have done 45 minutes of exercises.
• As usual total of 7 kilometers of walking (UP and Down to my office).
• Regarding weight, I think considerably it has come down.

Note:  I am not straining myself to reduce weight.  Only on controlled diet and exercises plus some Ayurvedic medicines are helping me along with my will power.  I am not loosing my energy levels and over and above I am very much enthusiastic now-a-days :-)
