Tips to Promote Weight Loss with Maharashtrian Diet :
- Consume a calculated portion of cereal in each meal to reduce carbohydrate load. Replace the white rice with brown or red rice that is high in fiber. Or, simply add more vegetables along side your white rice.
- Replace the coconut and groundnut in the vegetable recipes with dals or pulses. This reduces the saturated fat content in the recipe.
- Increase the use of green vegetables, salad and fruits. Add colourful fruits and vegetables to increase immunity, fiber, vitamins and minerals in the diet. Use vegetables in as many recipes as you can.
- Reduce the use of quantity of oil and ghee in the recipes. Restrict the quantity of using desiccated coconut, fresh coconut or groundnuts in the recipes.
- Replace the rice flour with any millet flour or wheat flour or multigrain flour.
- Increase the frequency of eating chicken and fish. Do not deep fry or use coconut or groundnut in the gravies. Try to roast, grill, stew, shallow fry or boil the chicken or fish.
- Engage into some exercise like walking, cycling, gym or swimming.
