1. Your diet must contain protein
Protein is, directly and indirectly, involved in weight loss. In our daily life, we all take protein in different ways. Sources of protein include both in the vegetables and meats like dairy products, fish and eggs, whole grains, and all kinds of nuts. Vegetarians shouldn’t worry about protein because there is a lot of vegan protein available.

3. Yes it is fine to have coffee or tea

Green tea would be a great option. 100ml of green tea contains only 0.96 kcal and 99.9g of water and which is not going to affect in any way. Some studies say that the caffeine presents inside it can help you to lose weight. It is not 100% confirmed yet you can give it a try.
