Weight loss with desi food: what to change and what to keep
You do not need imported food to lose weight. Small changes to roti, rice and chai make a big difference.
By Coach Ayesha Noor, Iron Fit Gym (demo)
Most of our weight loss members eat the same food as their family. The trick is portion size and a few swaps.
Easy swaps
- One roti instead of two, with more salad
- Grilled or karahi with less oil instead of fried
- Chai with less sugar, and only twice a day
- Fruit instead of mithai most days
Keep the protein
Daal, chicken, eggs, yoghurt and chana keep you full and help your muscles recover after training.
Be patient
Half a kilo to one kilo a week is a healthy speed. Weigh yourself once a week, at the same time.
