    Thank you! The article was very informative! I have the following query:-
    Potatoes are always assumed to be bad for health and cause obesity. I found it to be listed as part of Complex/Good carbohydrate. In what form should it be consumed? Should you opt to have it in boiled form instead of fried form?

    you have mentioned that honey is a source of bad carbohydrate...is that correct? normally it is recommended to have honey with warm water right after a workout.

    @ Aarti - Potatoes are always told to be avoided in ur meal but as mentioned in the article it is a Good carbohydrate food which has high amount of fiber. But it is always important to remember in which form it is to be taken. Boiled is any day better than the fried ones, boz u r atleast avoiding the oil intake. These boiled potatoes can be reheated in a microwave or an iron kadai to remove the starch. Everytime u reheat it, u almost cut down 25% starch. Try doing it..

    @ Ridhima - It is correct that honey with warm water is recommended right after a workout boz honey readily breaks down n gives u instant energy (which is nothin other than ur calories). But this is recommended for a person who is workin out with a normal weight but not for those who r on a weight loss regime. U would not want to add back those calories u r difficultly tryin to burn right?

    HI richa ..

    Chapati or roti both is good to have but u should make without oil & include soya flour or bran or methi leaves or methi seed or onion in chapati flour . This will increase nutrients .

    @richa You can try replacing normal rice with brown rice.
