The 12-week Fitness project - Week 1 Guideline and FAQs -

Start your day with a Banana or any fresh fruit OR soaked almonds OR soaked raisins and NOT with tea or coffee.

Note -
- Have a glass of (only) plain water and then have this meal
- Have this within 20 mins of waking up
- It's ok to have chai or coffee 10-15 mins post this meal

Banana - for all those who have digestion issues or get sugar cravings post a meal. Buy fresh, local variety. Buy atleast 2-3 times a week and do not bring them home in plastic bags, use a cloth bag instead.

7-8 Soaked raisins with 1-2 strands of kesar - if you have rated yourself as a person with terrible PMS or with low energy through the day.

4-6 Soaked & peeled badam - if you have insulin resistance, diabetes, PCOD* or low fertility or poor sleep quality. Pick the mamra or the local variety of badam, its richer in nutrients.

*For PCOD - switch to 7-8 raisins and 1-2 strands of kesar 10 days before periods. This can be followed for endometriosis and adenomyosis too.

FAQs for Guideline 1 -

Q. i dont like banana, what should i do?
A. Pick any regional, local fruit that is currently in season.
Q. i have a bit of all 3 issues, what should i eat now banana or almonds or raisins?
A. Pick the one you most like eating as the first meal in the morning. Also feel free to eat banana today, almonds tomo, raisins day after. Essentially, learn to be self dependent.
Q. Why are we soaking the almonds?
A. To unlock the nutrients from it and to allow the phytic acid levels (which can otherwise bind to minerals like zinc and make them unavailable for our body) to go down.

Note that -
- you can workout/ do yoga, etc., 15-20 mins after having the banana/ almonds/ raisins
- If not working out, you can have your breakfast within an hour of this meal
