bad bad fat

I agree with the others in that you aren't eating enough food. Your body needs at least 1200 calories a day and more if you're exercising on top of that. Trust me.

I used to have some problems with anorexia/bulemia....starving yourself will not work. In fact, it screwed up my metabolism so bad that I actually gained 40-50 pounds.
 
Day 3

Plan for today:

1. No coca cola.
2. No eating out/Take out.
3. No sweet/refined sugars.
4. Eat one whole fruit.
5. Drink 3 litres of water.
6. 30 sit ups
7. 15 mins of basic floor exercises
8. Walk 1.5 mile

Tentative Food plan:

Breakfast: 1 big cup horlicks, Cereals with curd (140, 172, 105)
Lunch : Rice with carrot peas curry
Snack : 2 carrots with tomato sauce , one coffee
Dinner: 2 peppers chopped (150)
 
Fell off the wagon last three days and ate a lot of junk food. Gained some weight. But i am back again from tomorrow.

Plan for tomorrow:

1. No coke, soft drinks.
2. Salad for lunch.
3. carrots as snack.
4. 3 litres of water.
5. eat one whole fruit.
 
Your nutrition kind of scares me. You are not eating nearly enough. I made the same mistake early on in my weight loss journey and my body went into starvation mode, which caused about half my hair to fall out. Believe me, you do NOT want that to happen!

As other people have said you need to eat a balanced diet, and no less than 1200 cals a day for women. You need to eat a variety of fruits and veggies, some carbs, and get plenty of protein. You said you were a vegetarian, but I'm not sure how strict of a one you are because I saw that you had turkey the other day. There are lots of options for protien, even if you are a strict vegetarian. Also, your body DOES need some fats (good fats) to remain healthy.

There are tons of helpful stickies in the nutrition section of this forum. I highly recommend reading thru some of them. They are very helpful.

Best of luck to you!

Thanks Tigpuppy for all the great advice.
One note: i guess you assumed I only eat what is written on the to-do list. Its actually not true. I should have better worded the post. I lot other stuff too, which is mentioned in the earlier posts of this thread. What i write in to do list is what I definitely want to do that day. I am eating around 1250 calories these days and not exercising at all because of the hectic university schedule. I guess thats the right amount. I would join gym next month and will be able to increase my diet regularly.

I mentioned I am a vegetarian as I only eat bird meat and I would have liked other people wasting their precious time in telling me to eat all other kinds of meat. I prefer vegetarian food, but since I have limited scope of cooking, I havent been able to find many vegetarian protein sources yet.

Overall I feel healthier these days and its just been a week! I feel lighter and much more energetic. I wake up fresh in the mornings and sleep well. I think its not just weight loss but eating right is my biggest gain from lest few days .
 
I understood that your to-do list wasn't your list of foods and calories for the day. But you did have a few posts where you listed the specific foods you ate along with the total calories - that's what I was looking at.

If you are sedentary, then the 1250 calories you eat should be right on the money to lose. Still be sure to get plenty of protein if you can though.

Can't wait to see your great progress!
