Weight gain is not just an aesthetic problem, but it can also cause many serious health problems. Obesity is also a major cause of high BP, cholesterol, diabetes, joint pain, respiratory problems, cancer and digestive problems.
What to do to lose weight? Exercise plays a big role in losing weight, but taking care of diet is even more important. Consuming low-carb foods is a great way to lose weight.
Vegetables are naturally low in carbs and rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Some of the best low-carb options include: spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, bitter gourd and cabbage.
Anda bhurji (fried eggs) cooked with vegetables and spices. Paneer bhurji which is made like egg bhurji but with fried paneer. Masala omelette which is made with eggs, onions, tomatoes and green chillies. These are rich in protein and low in carbs.
Although pulses and beans contain some carbs, they are high in fibre and protein, which can aid weight loss. For this, you can consume green moong dal, masoor dal and chana dal, chickpeas, rajma, white beans, black chickpeas etc.
Chole chaat is the best option, to make it mix it with vegetables like cucumber, tomato and onion. Nuts and seeds like almonds, walnuts and flax seeds are low carbs and a source of healthy fats. Coconut chutney is a low carb snack that can be included in the diet.
