Hello Upma,

I have asked this question in general forum also. I read that gg bran bread is 80% bran. So I wanted to know that for making Indian bread can I use bran also. Besides flax seeds and soya flower and powder.
Doug has given a recipe which I think will be very useful.
Thanks for all the help.

Please avoid anything unnatural. And I know people who lost weight quickly for first 3 odd months after the surgery and then gained a bit or it plateaued. So even with a smaller stomach one will need the right way to eat. And problem is only carbs. Our carb intake has increased while physical activity has dropped.  Earlier during our great grand fathers time they used to walk from one village to another. There were no taps. So they used walk to village well with buckets. Today if I have to go to my local market I take out a car. So while we need less carbs we are eating more with all the fast foods.
Today a friend dropped in with his 7 and 9 year old daughters. It was easiest for me to order pizzas for them with coke and garlic bread. And when they were leaving I gave them a choclate each as a gift. Later I was thinking what will happen to the next generation.
So in this era of desk jobs we need to drastically cut on carbs.

Thanks Doug.
Is Bran allowed?
And sure I will share anything good I come up with.
Thanks again.

Hi.
I have also had such experiences. My previous attempts at diet control failed because of some negative people around. In the end I have decided to take control of things. I realised they are not actually friends. Most of my hobbies are outdoors like wildlife photography. One real friend told me Sumeet (thats my name) your happiness will not be enhanced by more money you make but by getting fitter. That is when I got serious. Tell such negative friends that you are not available for a year. Ask them if they want you to die young or have heart problems or BP etc. Tell them that if they really are friends then they should support you. I now go out with friends who will stop me if I try to cheat. You have to take tough decisions.
I need to lose just 30 pounds more. I keep myself motivated by visualising what lies beyond the three months it should take. A slimmer, fitter, more attractive me. Thats what keeps me going. Though I just started under a month back.
All the best friend.

Thanks everybody. I surprised and overwhelmed by everyones prompt response. And also willingness to help.
