High fiber low calorie recipes

high fiber diet

The best diet for weight loss is one that includes plenty of high-fiber, low calorie recipes . Because they’re made up of ingredients that are filling, even small portions of these meals are satisfying. Even adding one meal of this kind to your daily diet will, along with exercise, help you lose weight. These meals also boost heart health, controls blood sugar and lowers blood lipid levels as well.

Here’s how you can boost your fiber intake on a daily basis with these high fiber low calorie recipes:

  • Swap all refined cereals and products with whole grain varieties.
  • Have brown rice, whole wheat, millets (ragi), wheat crackers and whole grain breads. Add wheat bran to rotis and when baking breads and biscuits at home.
  • Choose pulses with skin like chickpeas, rajma, cowpeas and whole green gram
  • Snack on nuts, seeds and fresh fruits instead of namkeens and maida-based snacks.
  • Don’t strain the juices and soups you make at home.
  • Add fiber-rich raisins and dates to sweeten porridge instead of sugar.

Many of the clients I work with are looking for tasty and innovative recipes for low-cal, high-fiber meals and snacks. Here are a few I’d recommend:

1. Corn Sprout Salad

 Ingredients

1 cup moong sprouts

1 cup sweet corn

1 small carrot, chopped finely

1 tsp lemon juice
