🔎 Why One Person Loses Weight & Another Doesn’t (Even if Both Think They’re Eating “Less”)

☕ Person A (Thinks She’s Eating Less, but Isn’t in Deficit)

• Morning: Tea + 2–3 biscuits (hidden sugar + fat)

• After school run: Coffee + toast + nuts (extra calories)

• Lunch: Dal + rice + salad + pickle (balanced, but portion of rice adds up)

• Evening: Tea with sugar + snacks (again extra calories)

• Dinner: Dal + rice (same as lunch, but no protein focus)

👉 She feels like she’s eating “light” because her meals are simple.But biscuits, toast, nuts, sugar in tea, and lack of portion control push her out of deficit.That’s why the scale is stuck.

🥗 Person B (In Control of Calories & Protein)

• Breakfast: Adds protein — boiled eggs, Greek yogurt, or paneer

• Lunch: Dal + rice (controlled portion) + extra protein (curd, paneer, or egg curry)

• Evening: protein shake

• Dinner: Dal + veggies + protein (tofu, paneer, chicken, or egg)

👉 She enjoys tea but adjusts calories smartly.👉 Prioritises protein in every meal → keeps her full, supports fat loss, and preserves muscle.👉 Stays within her deficit.

✨ The Difference

• Person A: Eating “light” but unknowingly consuming 300–500 extra calories daily → ❌ No fat loss.

• Person B: Eating balanced, controlling portions, prioritising protein → ✅ Consistent fat loss.

💡 Takeaway:It’s not about “eating less.”It’s about eating smart, tracking hidden calories, and making protein a priority.
