You have not mentioned your height or whether you are a man or a woman. Ideal weight for a person of 27 years of age and a height of 5 ft to 6 ft would be around 50 to 55 kilos for a woman and 60 to 65 kilos for a man. You would need to find out the reason for your excessive weight gain.
Is it due to a medical problem, certain medicines or because of unhealthy eating habits? You cannot just lose weight rapidly as it would have adverse effects on your body. You would need to lose weight gradually and in a healthy manner to maintain your health and stamina.
Stay away from extreme dieting and slimming medicines. Do not self medicate as it could be dangerous, and always consult your doctor before taking any medicine.
Going on a crash diet or starving yourself will only make you feel weak and ill. Instead, eat small healthy meals frequently to maintain your stamina and energy. Stick to a healthy routine.
Start your day with water the first thing when you wake up. Take a glass of warm water and the juice of one freshly squeezed lemon and a little honey to it. Drink this while it’s warm and after some time follow up with a 2 or 3 more glasses of warm water. Do this daily as this will help to flush out all the toxins from your body. Have a healthy breakfast consisting of fresh fruits and or juice along with whole grain cereals and sprouts. Avoid having fried eggs. Have the white of one boiled egg instead and avoid the yolk. For lunch have a salad of fresh vegetables like tomatoes, carrots, celery, lettuce, beet, cucumber, etc. Avoid heavy dressings that are loaded with fats. You may add a dash of apple cider vinegar instead. You can have some whole grain bread with boiled or steamed vegetables and some buttermilk with a dash of salt, pepper and grated ginger. For an evening snack you may have green tea, nuts, seeds or fruits. Avoid having sugary biscuits and cakes. For dinner have clear vegetable or chicken soup, grilled vegetables or chicken with whole wheat bread. Avoid having processed and refined foods as they do not have much nutrition and will only make your problem worse.
Exercise regularly or go for long brisk walks. You may also practice yoga. It is excellent for losing unwanted weight and tones the body very well. It also helps to increase your muscle strength and maintain your stamina.
