Skinny Secrets

1) Salads:

Make salads with tomato, carrot, beetroot, cabbage, capsicum, lettuce, or cucumber all low in calories-your diet staple, to liven them up, you can use curd or lemon as a salad dressing. Sandwiches too, are a goods way to have these raw vegetables. The bread helps fill you up, but don’t use butter-spread a coriander-and-mint chutney instead would do good.

2) Grapes:

Instead of munching your way through a packet of biscuits after a hard day, try grapes instead. They’re high in sugar, but as long as you don’t overdo it, they offer the same soothing hand-to-mouth action with none of the fat. They’re especially good chilled besides, a hundred grams of grapes contain only 70 calories.

3) Oranges:

The more slowly you eat; the easier it is to recognize your body’s satiety signals. And what snack takes longer than peeling and sectioning an orange? Oranges have only 48 calories.

4) Potatoes:

Surprised? The problem is not the potatoes, but the way they are cooked . Finger chips or other forms of fried potatoes are high in fat. But if baked or boiled and eaten without fatty accompaniments, potatoes are great for your diet. Have them mashed, adding pepper and a dash of lime. Or stuffed-as in aloo parathas, prepared without oil or ghee of course. (If you must have finger chips make them in the microwave). Potatoes contain only 97 calories.

5) High fiber cereals:

By providing bulk, some cereal-based foods, too, fill you up on relatively few calories. They include chapattis, roasted corn on the cob, dhokla or idlis, and white rice upmas. Other breakfast choices could be oats, poha, or rice wheat-or- corn-flakes low in sugar’. Pour skim milk on the flakes. If you prefer them sweet, add chopped fruit.

6) water:

Research shows that snacking in particular is often the result of mistaking thirst for hunger. Water has no calories, so it’s great for filling up. Those who find it a plain bore can try low-calorie drinks that contain mostly water such as buttermilk, coconut water, and watermelon juice. Clear vegetable or dal soups are nutritious and don’t have many calories, avoid cream soups.
