Whenever I plan to start a new diet plan, I visit Fortis and consult a clinical nutritionist first. Everyone's body, uric acid levels, and kidney health are different. It is always better to get a customized chart from a certified expert.

My doctor told me that for weight loss, 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of ideal body weight is optimal for Indian women. He explained that going too high without regular exercise can cause digestion issues like constipation. So make sure to balance it out.

Please get your kidney function and uric acid tested before you suddenly increase your protein intake. High protein diets can sometimes trigger gout or strain your kidneys if there is a silent issue. Safety should always come before weight loss.

Beta, don't run after artificial protein powders as they can heat up your stomach. Just have a glass of fresh buttermilk with roasted cumin, and eat a bowl of moong dal daily. Natural home-cooked food is best for a healthy, steady weight loss.

I am not an expert, but for my own weight loss journey, I aimed for around 75 grams of protein daily. I got it mostly from eggs, paneer, and chicken breast. It worked well for me and kept me energetic throughout the day.
