Want to lose weight by eating South India food? Nutrition coach provides options
South Indian diet" can support weight loss and overall wellness, as long as certain guidelines are followed.
Changing the proportions
Raj began by saying, “Weight loss and healthy eating a simple, vegetarian south Indian diet – here's how we do it. No 1: change the proportions on your plate. We are used to eating a lot of starch and very little vegetable matter. Foods like rice, idli, dosa, upma, uthappam, appam contain a lot of calories but very few nutrients. That's why we call them empty calories. Vegetable-based preparations like kootu, poriyal, avial, on the other hand, are low in calorie, high in micronutrients, contain plenty of fibre and keep us fuller for longer. So make that switch happen.”
Make protein part of your every meal
He added, “No 2: make protein mandatory in every meal. You can keep it very simple though. For breakfast, you can have a glass of milk or a scoop of whey. For lunch, you can have a couple of eggs or a cup of sundal and a cup of curd. And for dinner you can include some paneer or tofu. Now, I get it that these are not very south Indian, but are going to have to be open to making some changes.”

Reduce the oil and ghee you use in cooking
What's Raj Ganpath's no. 3 tip? He says, «Go low fat and reduce the amount of oil and ghee you use. Be it in your curry, kozhambu, kootu, poriyal or on top of your chutneys and podis. Why? Because fat is rich in calories and that's not something you want when you are trying to lose weight.»
