Correct diet and a planned exercise regime is the mantra of healthy and sustainable weight loss.

The report has been created by International Food Policy Research Institute and NGOs Welthungerhilfe and Concern Worldwide and said that while various social schemes by the government have not been implemented in an uniform manner, they have nevertheless helped improve underlying conditions in the country.
