Best way to find out whether you are obese is to check your BMI. BMI (body mass index) Normally a BMI of 18.5 - 24.9 is considered ideal. In simple terms BMI is a ratio of our weight and height. To start with at home, you can try a combination of treadmill workouts plus indoor cycling on stationary bikes. Food has a major role in making us obese. The choice of food depends on your intake, whether you are a vegetarian or non-vegetarian, age and sex.
There is a misconception among some that vegetarian food will not gain pounds, which is wrong. Any food rich in calories will adds to ones weight if those calories are not burned properly. Even carbohydrates which normally is used by the body for energy-giving can be converted into fat. More carbohydrates in the system stimulate insulin production, which increases production of fats and inhibits their cellular uptake. So eat foods like 'channa' (bengal gram or Cicer arietinum also garbanz) which has a low cellular uptake will help you. Look for similar food items which has low-gycemic index.
