Last week I posted some reader mail from a reader in India. Today she asked a few follow up questions that I answered here:

So to start off im a female.
90% of my diet is fruits , veg and grilled chicken or fish.
I drink about 3 litres of water everyday. 
Inspite of that i cant seem to lose weight.
I havent been working out hard as i should have been.
I am now doing the 200 swings , i cant do everydya i manage about 5 times a week.
and follow it wit kb complex and after your mail i follow what you have given.
I can see some changes in my body. its not drastic but its there and i cant wait to see how it turns out by end of this month.
I do have a treadmill at home , i try to do the walking but i am not able to fit it in by end of this week i will def do it.
I should have mentioned earlier that i dont sleep well. I am trying to change that.
You had also mentioned that i should do the weights , so is that in addition to the workout with kettlebell ?
Thank you once again.
Regards,
Mif

Hello Mif,

Here are some quick tips for you:
- Replace most of the fruit with veggies (greens), they have less sugar and more nutrients
- Grilled chicken and fish is great
- Go really easy on the rice and curries, there is a lot of hidden fat in those gravies
- Keep up the work with the kettlebell, that is the key for "toning"
- Make an effort to hit that treadmill or walk outside more (I know that can be tough in some parts of India)
- Lack of sleep could really be holding you back, when you sleep your body burns fat and repairs muscle tissue, plus lots of sleep improves your insulin sensitivity (less fat is stored from sugar)
- Weights just means resistance, so kettlebells, body weight or machines would all be included in the same category. Use what you have at home already.
- Make your kettlebell/resistance training workouts really hard but short. 45 minutes max including your warm-up. You should be sweating buckets and gasping for air by the end, provided you are healthy!
