The Krishnapaksha diet is one of the best Indian diet plans to reduce body weight and loose fat. Krishna means dark and paksha means side but it refers to phases of fifteen days, counted from full moon day (Purnima) to new moon day (Amavasya).
This diet is a unique kind of Indian diet plan which can be made for continuous 15 days only as 1 course of the diet. If you follow and make the diet in the same way, definitely it can give you the best result. That’s why many people are practising the Krishna Paksha diet.
Please note: This diet is recommended for normal people and not for any person who has health issues please consults a health profession before starting the diet.
Let’s understand how to begin, You can start the Krishna Paksha diet (KPD) only on a full moon day and you have to end it on a new moon day.
In this diet, there is no restriction for morning breakfast (it doesn’t mean you can eat too much..!!), you have to follow KPD lunch at the noon, and KPD dinner at the night, if possible to you, then please avoid evening tea or coffee too, but strictly don’t opt for snacks.
Preparation: Read carefully, first be sure of, what portion you eat normally, and arrange a glass bowl or a food-grade transparent plastic bowl, of the same measurement and you can name it the KPD bowl. Divide its depth into 15 levels and mark it on the same bowl’s external side (the mark should be permanent, you can use a photo marker pen for it) and number its levels 1 to 15 vertically in ascending (starting from the bottom to upward).
Once the KPD bowl is ready, you can start your diet on full moon day.
Before you start your diet, please ensure your weight on the same day morning on empty stomach (check weight after using the restroom).
KPD Diet Plan:
Every morning, with an empty stomach, please drink a minimum of 2 glasses of lukewarm water, and a glass of hot water (hot refers to your regular tea or coffee cup temperature) every day before you sleep. This practice should be compulsory while the diet period and also you can make it a regular habit for the best result.
