Hemanth Reddy: Hello doctor, I am Hemanth, 22 years old.
I want myself look fit and handsome. So I have started my daily workout.
My aim is to burn 500 calories everyday.
My daily routine includes 20 minutes of jogging, 100 sun salutations and some HIIT workouts.
Coming to my diet, it's nothing special.
I have two meals of rice and vegetables everyday. But my mother is worried about me because she thinks that I am doing heavy physical work and no proper food.
She always fights with me to stop this as it makes my face look like a patient.
She said that I am getting weaker and weaker day by day as my face is looking dull. I don't understand what to do.
Wanting to be fit is everyone's goal, right?
Please suggest a good diet for me. It should not affect my outer appearance especially my face. Thanks in advance.
