How about the idea of biting into a Chicken Tangri kebab with a glass of whiskey? You would definitely feel like Bollywood's "Papaji", Dharmendra! But the star maintains a fitness level. Do you do the same? Or you just indulge on a high-calorie North Indian diet with "puris", "kachoris", "Parathas", "Kulchas", "bhaturas", "dal makhani", kebabs and "Biryanis" without the provision of any form of physical exercises. Being a "Jatt Yamla Pagla Deewana" would require commitments from your side and you would need to control your calorie intake as well! It might seem to be very difficult with North Indian foods because the foods are very high in calories. And you would not possibly opt to sacrifice some of the major ingredients like ghee and butter!

1200 Calorie North Indian Diet Plan for Diabetes

But you might have to switch to low-calorie North Indian food preparations if you are diagnosed with Diabetes. Your health would ask you to do so! But what about satisfying your taste buds? Here is a sample diet plan as per the North Indian Cuisine which would allow you to limit your intake to 1200 calories a day:

Food Item Amount Calories (kcal) Protein (g)

Living with Diabetes is itself a challenge, but you can still lead a normal life provided you stay focused and disciplined. If you have been asked to limit yourself to 1200 calories a day, then you should make it a point to stick to this regime. Kebabs, parathas, kachoris taste great, but they should be taken in recommended quantities to prevent undesirable outcomes.
