Somebody just give me an advice on weight loss. He said it's okay if you don't want to go to gym, but just by watching my diet. He gave me this formula called a quarter plate formula. You separate the plate into 4 parts. each quarter is filled with different type of food; Carbohydrate(rice, bread, potato etc), meat (Beef, mutton, fish etc), Veggies and fruit. And drink only plain water. what i forgot to ask is if the way the food is cooked matters. What if i eat a stir fried veggies instead of steamed one? or fried potato, or curry mutton?
