I have been to my favorite doctor Dr. Krishna for consulting and getting tips for weight loss.
She is from Kerala. The initial diet plan she gave me was completely in kerala style.
I just consulted a dietitian to get it converted in tamilnadu style.
As my friend Asha for this diet chart, I thought of sharing it in the blog. It might be useful. This is a general chart. It is an outline and you need to modify it as per your taste and health conditions. Always consult a proper dietitian, if you can.
