Before your family, 5 Tips to put your kitchen on a diet

Before your family, 5 Tips to put your kitchen on a diet

Want to get your family to eat healthier? First, take stock of your kitchen as traditional food choices contribute significantly to an unhealthy lifestyle.

I “spring clean” my kitchen every month, right before visiting the supermarket for monthly groceries. It has not only helped me get back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but has also helped others in keeping their Type 1 diabetes and high cholesterol levels in check.

Here are some pointers about what you should keep and throw if you’re trying to feed your family healthier:

#Tip 1

THROW

Namkeens like bhujia, mathri, moong dals and other fried snacks.

KEEP

Roasted or ready-to-eat, low fat snacks like murmura (puffed rice), soy sticks and bhuna chana. These are low in calories and work best for weight watchers. You can also keep nuts like almonds and walnuts out on the counters to snack on-the-go.

#Tip 2

THROW

Refined flour, which is devoid of fiber.

KEEP

Wheat or multigrain flour rich in oats/soy/chana/wheat which incorporate soluble as well as insoluble fiber in the diet.

TIP

Mix flours in the proportion of 3:1 (wheat:oat/soy/chana). The same proportion can be used to prepare regional foods like idli, dosa, momos, cakes or biscuits. Mixing the flours keeps bowel as well as cholesterol and sugar under check and also initiates weight-loss.

#Tip 3

THROW

Ghee, which is high in saturated fats.

KEEP

Refined oils like olive, mustard, canola, rice bran, soy which are sources for PUFA and MUFA that help keep lipid profiles in check.

TIP

Use a combination of oils ie one in the morning, another in the evening. Also make sure the total amount of fat (including butter, ghee or refined oil) should not exceed 500g per person a month. Stock these in your kitchen by this rule only to ensure visible fat consumption is fairly within limits.

#Tip 4

THROW

Table-salt containers.

KEEP

Lemon.

TIP

Do not keep salt at the table, whatever you add while cooking should be enough. This will help avoid degenerative disorders associated with high BP and prevent water retention. For an added zing, squeeze a lemon instead.

#Tip 5

THROW

White rice.

KEEP

Brown rice high in fiber and other water soluble B vitamins.

TIP

Replace white rice with brown for all rice preparations like pulao, idli, dosa etc.

    Right now it looks like Movable Type is the top blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

    First off I would like to say superb blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing. I’ve had a hard time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?
