I have always been fond of eating good food - specially the Indian home cooked - so it is rather tough for me to leave that. I have reduced my intake but there still remains a substantial amount on my plate when I start my meal. I have tried to lose weight and I did for a few months by cutting off on my food intake and also exercising everyday. But that regimen of eating little and ONLY healthy is really unrealistic. Also, I do not want to enter into that arena of specialised factory created special foods that look and taste like normal food but are low fat - for they will be so un-natural that if I dont die of heart attack, I will die of toxicity! I feel that there is a case to be made for moderation.  But only so much moderation. After that your exercise - and regular, though even little (say, like 30 minutes) - should be able to handle your weight control. I want to move toward that paradigm. That is more realistic on the longer term basis and also makes your life as a thin six-pack ab guy worth living. After all, what is the fun in having six-pack abs but missing out on a morning breakfast of paranthas and managing it with just a small bowl of chemically treated cereal.. just for your low weight?"}
