What is your energy food super-women ?

Good start sadhana.

Lemon + Honey + warm water in the morning, keeping my stomach only half full with food (healthy, limited oil and lot of veggies) and Keeping my stomach happy (without neglecting its demand for long hours) and a smile in my face (which forces the one i am facing also to smile) keeps me happy & energetic every day

 

Nice thread... 3-4 dates, and health mix porridge keep me energetic throughout the day!

 

Hi Pals,

Wow! a nice thread! it would help us each other.. I was never on the heavy side (lookwise though). But off late i was getting tired out easily and have been hogging what ever comes to my hand at the moment. That had really started working and then i had put on some 5-6 Kgs and all that were extra on me... :-( All that hogging never did any benefit to my stamina either .. :-(

And i had started becoming like a young pumpkin! Before i turned out to be a full pumpkin , i wanted to try my hand at getting back to shape and gain stamina as well.

I start my day with a bowl of fruits ( fruit salad made of cut fruits and little milk or honey over it ) garnishing it with few cashews(2-4 max) roasted in ghee.

Now you might ask as why ghee and milk and nuts ; that give you the most needed energy and the nutrients and they do no pile up as fat in your body as you ahve it in the morning when the body has starved through the night.

Its been close to 10 days and this magic is working out for me and i feel very energetic through out the day and have lost weight and hence feel easy to do any work.

Hope this helps my fellow friends who are working and struggling hard to have the energy for all that work and still maintain shape

All the best :thumbsup

 

Neeragaram (made out of pazhaya sadham i.e. the rice saved from previous night immersed in water) gives lot of energy.

Pour water on the balance rice till it is immersed, before going to sleep. next day, mash it well, add some butter milk and salt (liquid drinking consistency). Peel and chop some shallots (small onions) and have it. Excellent energy booster and also good for digestive tracts.

 

@Mira, how can you do that???:idea? ( I am sad). I wanted to write that. Mira's idea is the best. Instead of shallots, ( we didn't eat onions when we were young at home), we used to eat it with Lemon pickle or vadu Mangai.

Now a days, I make oats and add butter milk. Peopel make it with broken wheat just like oats. These are good for your health. But i would like to drink 3 cups of Coffee and eat fried snacks like Murukku, pakoras etc. :drool

Common ladies, please be honest. Really want to drink hot water, fruits etc. ???:thumbsdown

My day starts with a glass of warm water (just to kick-start the system!!!).

Our day starts with a bowl of cornflakes and milk and honey. Sometimes....(as CoffeeLover asked for an honest answer)....I end up eating a murukku or any small snack. And then when I start feeling guilty, I have a fruit with the snack!!!

Anytime during the day, when I feel my energy level needs a boost I just snack on peanut butter and digestive biscuits or just some nuts preferable almonds or raisins or a fruit bar or most of the time. just a glass of ice-cold water is enough.

 

My day starts with a glass of milk without sugar followed by a cup of tea by 8.30 am and lunch between 11.30 to 12 with 2 rotis,sabji and a glass of curd. After half an hour 2 glasses of warm water and again at 2 pm two glasses of warm water.

By 4 pm either i murukku /2 biscuits/ 2 slices of bread - this is not always, may be 3 or 4 days in a month. By 6 one banana, 7 pm a glass of warm water, and bet 8 to 8.30 dinner with 2 rotis sabji and curd . Night again from 9 to 10.30 3 glasses of warm water. Absolutely' no' to rice since 1997 and any beverages without sugar . If I need to take rice roti is reduced to one sometimes no roti at all.

if it's dosa or idli not more than 2 numbers.

On sundays, as may servants do not come , oats with two glasses of curd..

Never in between snacks or sweets etc. a very strict regiment in my diet, I have full time and I can do chores even after food.

I do 20 sit -ups everyday . I can sit on the floor and get up without touching the floor for help.
I feel my energy is in taking bananas . I maintain my weight to 53 to 56 for many years.
Occasionally I take ice cream, bhajji,but after wards I drink warm water.
Even when we go to restaurants, it's 2 rumali and a little bit of sabji and desserts.
I do not have BP or Sugar.

What i feel it's the signal one gives to oneself in quantity is the secret.
