Weight Loss and The Outside Food

You are the girl who motivated the whole family for healthy eating. In fact the other day I was thinking about you and your family. Its so good to see that you and the whole family changed their outlook. If you don't mind I would like to put that up as an article in my blog. So, that those who do not come to the thread can read it here.

Now, about eating outside. Here are the steps.

1. I am sure you must be already familiar with the frequency of eating out in office. Its very hard to say No and then to sit with a group who eats without bothering. In my office this used to be a weekly thing, sometimes they would collect 30 RS from everyone and order food from outside. This meant each person could have 2 Naans, rice and sabji. We used to eat till the button of the jeans threatened to pop out. Knowing the frequency in advance is always better because then you can be prepared.

2. Chuck the soup, they will not benefit you. Reason being the tomato soup has cream, sweet corn or any white based soup has corn flour to make it thick. We at home make our soup thick with oats or vegetables but the restro version always taste better think about why it tastes better. And yes ajino motto is also present in some soup which is so bad for heath.

3. So, when ever you are going for lunch outside.

Order salad (which you already do), order plain rice (you will see they are fluffy and not sticky, reason being the starch is drained. Not as much as we drain at home but yes to a considerable amount).

So this is what I do, I take 1 tablespoon rice, top it up nicely with salad (lots and lots of onions) and then take some gravy veggie (1 table spoon again, I am very fond of paneer so I add those pieces too) and pour it on my rice- salad stuff, if you have ordered raita then go for it too. By the time I finish this whole thing I am full.

So you see, in fact I have eaten less, less than my usual lunch but I am full and am happy too as I am eating out. The salad on top of the rice does the trick.

How we eat salad, we keep it in one corner of the plate and take one bite at a time. Like we will have 1 spoon rice and then will bite in a cucumber or tomato. NO, you should mix the salad with the rice, I am very selfish where salad is considered, I usually pour half the salad on my plate.

You will eat more salad if you eat this way, more over psychologically also you will feel satisfied and this will generate the stuffed feeling in the stomach.

So, give it a try once, believe me you will save more calories this way.

4. I am sure by now you guys must have some joints where you frequently go. So you already know what they serve and so you can plan smartly. If its pizza joints they have a nice selection of salad, you can have it with garlic bread. Have one bread and give the rest to others.

South Indian joint idli is your best way.

Opting for a veg sandwich or egg sandwich is also a great idea for lunch.

The trick is to eat out and make the calorie intake less, like the combo of rice, lots of salad and little gravy sabji.

This won't make you gain weight, believe me give it a try,

You should go for office outings because that is where the team bonds. You can try saying No one or twice but do accompany them else you will feel left out.

Hope this helps.

Have a great day ahead.

I was wondering where you went. Please take care of yourself. One good thing about viral is that you need not diet and you eat what you want to and still you won't put on an ounce of weight.

So, relax and take a chill pill.

I am so happy to see that you have made the changes your habit. Now, it will be very difficult for you to break this habit. Half the battle against weight loss is won if its a habit to control our food in take and not to break down at the sight of the food. You my friend has done that.

Get well soon and hit back with vengeance. We are waiting for you in the weight loss thread.

Have a great day ahead.

Thanks for your appreciation. North Indian dishes can be prepared in less oil sadly they make them butterly and heavy. I remember you being a non vegetarian, go for grill options of chicken and meat they are far better.

Have a great day ahead.
