with me and Sid and joining us today is Dr. Ruchir Lawate.

Subscribe to this channel there's going to be lots more about health, nutrition on this channel.

Today we are discussing gentleman, diets.

People use the word diet

for oh like

oh dude I’m on a diet, assuming that the word diet means eating lesser.

Yeah which you're watching, what you're eating.

Ruchir can you tell me what is a diet?

Why is it important?

Just some of the basics before we move on to more depth.

So I think when you get into a diet per say,

you should have clarity as to why you're getting into the diet.

So most people, like you rightly said, get into diet

to lose weight, by which they mean they want to lose fat.

Correct.

And how I think is a good way to approach

a diet is to see that most diets

either focus on what you eat,

how much you eat, or when you eat

and all the diets that are there out right now.

Fall under categories based on this.

It's funny

when people are trying to avoid eating and the word they use is, I'm dieting.

Yeah.

Like the word dieting has basically

become an excuse to say, Oh, I'm not going to eat right now.

Where as actually diet is what you eat.

It was what you eat. Yeah.

So there is also this concept of public dieting.

Yeah, well, a lot of people do this where

they remember that they are on a diet only when they're out in public.

Ki sab dinner kar rahe hai, saath mein kar rahe hai

toh acha nahi nahi I don't need this. I'm on diet.

But when they're alone, they're not really dieting anymore.

They're following a different diet.

Let's get some basic let's do the legends of this map to understand some terms.

Let's first define what is metabolism? and what is someone's metabolic rate?

Your body to keep it up and running.

You're breathing.
