Diet chart

Hey Bhavna,

Because of the cold wether, the body struggles to increase its temperature (auto immune response) hence raising the BMR from usual. which is what the body exactly needs to lose weight, but the tough thing is that .. as the BMR rises so does our appetite ... n it seems hard to resist the warmth of a samosa or a garam jallebi ... and we r left with increased weight by the end of the season.

1. Include physical activity like a walk or indoor skipping/dance as a part of your routine. This would increase your BMR further and will help you in losing weight.

2. Choose healthy recipes with less sugar and low oil content. Instead raw vegetables go with soups. Sweets can be replaced with dry fruits like walnut, almonds etc. See http://www.lifemojo.com/healthy-recipes

Try dried fruits like prunes...very sweet plus good for digestion :)

You can have vegetable soups. Soups are good in winter.

Hi Bhavna,

Try eating til (sesame seeds) as it provide heat to the body. This is the reason you get lot of til ladoo during winter.

You can have brown rice kheer, Apple kheer, jowar ladoo, jaggery etc in winters.
