Answer Hello Ramya,
Thanks for your question. Sounds like you are eating too many carbohydrates and not enough protein in your diet. You need to increase your intake of beans and nuts.I would recommend checking out www.mypyramid.gov where you can create a healthy eating plan designed to your calorie needs. You must remember that you need 30 minutes of activity daily such as walking, jogging, bikeriding, swimming, and light weightlifting.
