dal roti saag :)

cholar dal, radish sabzi and radish saag. My family has a thing of never wasting any part of a vegetable - all green on top of a vegetable gets made into saag. Cauliflower stems gets made data chochhori. Potato skins are lightly fried with posta seeds and so on... I love this no-waste policy - its eco friendly and sometimes we tend throw away the most fibrous and nutritious parts... thanks, mum and grandmom for passing this food tradition down.

Hi friends I am new to i health, don't remember the date when i joined i health but took this website seriously from 9th March onwards. I was not aware that i can post my entry in health diary. I took two good habits, skipping and meals after every two hours. I was in kota last week and weighed myself just for fun and find out that i lost 3 kgs, I think i have check ones again as i am not sure, that this can happen. ones i will be sure about the same will update. Hope the weighing machine was not wrong.

 
Tania check it again. And stick to the good habits you have found - eating every two hours increases your chances of weight loss incredibly and skipping is the most efficient cardio workout!! you've picked well!! 8 week(s) ago
vrinda changrani Thanks Tania for guiding me, I will try my best to stick to my plan. It is sometimes little hard to follow due to office schedule but where there is a will there is a way. 8 week(s) ago

Today I really wanted to catch up on some good amount of sleep, so woke up late..had oats with milk and dry fruits for breakfast, had cauliflower, oats and moong daal khichdi with a boiled egg for lunch..i m really fond of moong dal ..BUDDIES, PLEASE SUGGEST SOME NICE RECIPIES WITH MOONG DAAL?? had some ragi and oats biscuits while working at office as it was quite a busy day for me. In the evening, had an orange and a fruit bowl comprising of water melon, musk melon, chiku, black grapes, bananas, and papayas. However, was feeling like something crunchy so had some baked chips ..had no time for dinner in office so had some soya milk and a chicken puff (the only food I am guilty of having today )..after coming back had a slice of brown bread with peanut butter and a glass of warm milk..

 
Tania you day looks a lot like mine.... make moong dal ka chilla if you have time. 8 week(s) ago
kasturi patra yes Tania, most of the times it's due to the office schedule that I end up eating bad food ..i don't know how to make chilla but I am an amateur cook..i don't think I can make such complicated stuff 8 week(s) ago

Eat it with chutney or sauce. 8 week(s) ago

As usual wake up at 5 am. Walk for one hour. Doing light exercise 20 min...Then household works. Four small meals a day. I started taking small portions of food. I kept one small bowl and I measure cooked rice in that bowl and eat it. Stopped eating sweets and avoiding fried food and switched to fiber rich foods, leafy vegetables, green salad .fruits, pulses and grains. I cut back my computer time and Surfing very less. I’ve had extremely odd sleeping patterns. I would go to bed at 12 sometime 1 am. Till I sleep I read books or listen to music because I was working so much, and even with adequate sleeping hours, I was always tired and out of energy throughout the day. So I changed my pattern. I decided to go to bed earlier, on time. My body feels healthy. Thanks to IHU for Health Articles and suggestions. Thanks to IHU Buddies for Healthy Tips and Guidance

In morning have a health drink prepared freshly not the ready one.I am giving this to my son regularly. As he skips breakfast sometimes.As a sports boy he needs more energy.4 Almonds,4 pistas, 6 raisins , 4 dates , 2 figs , 1 walnut soak the above in water in night and in morning grind it as a paste and mix it with cool or warm milk.Its taste good. It helps to avoid constipation ,.
