New Year resolutions

It’s the New Year, so yet again, it is time for making new resolutions. For the last few decades losing weight and getting fit has been the number 1 resolution all over the world. You have made the resolution to get fit so many times now, that every year feels like the same. This New Year though, spare yourself the same old resolutions!

Funny-new-years-resolutions-cakeDon’t resolve to lose weight, or to go ‘on a diet’, and give up even before the first month ends. When you say you want to lose weight, what you are doing is making a vague resolution. You don’t know what measures you are going to take to achieve your goal, and there is your first failure itself.

So instead, gift yourself a bunch of good habits that will lead to sustained weight loss. You will see results in weeks. Start with implementing one change at a time, and move on to the next only when you have accomplished the first one.

Let the following be your New Year resolutions: Continue reading →

We have all heard or read about how honey-lime water and apple cider vinegar miraculously help to burn fat when consumed early in the morning. Your overweight Chachi or your fitness freak cousin, your chatterbox neighbour, and even your maid have all given you this fabulous weight loss tip and sworn by its magical properties. As much as we hate to break that rosy bubble of yours, there are no shortcuts to weight loss, and certainly no magic potions.

While, pure unadulterated honey does have some medicinal properties, honey is rich in fructose (a type of sugar) and various researches claim benefits as well as detrimental properties of regular honey consumption, especially in relation to sugar control in people with diabetes, triglyceride and cholesterol levels. Hence, it is recommended that honey should not be taken on a regular basis without supervision. Continue reading →

“Phenk do ye kadhai, ye degchi, ye frying pan, inse naata todo!”

Marketing strategies, we tell you. They will feed you all sort of rubbish; from urging you to unhesitatingly pop antacids after brutally over-feeding your stomach to having only cornflakes as meals for rapid weight loss and of course, throwing away your iron cookware. But seriously, if you want to keep healthy, you cannot afford to ruin your relationship with the good old iron vessels. The idea might seem downright old-fashioned to you. However, there is more than one reason to put those iron tavas and kadhais back on your kitchen rack. Not only is it a very safe metal to cook in, it also adds up to the iron content in your food, thus making it much healthier. Continue reading →

Let’s face it, in today’s world, most of us ‘live to eat’ rather than ‘eat to live’. With globalization and so many food varieties and options available, of course, we ‘live to eat’! However, we often eat when we are not truly hungry, we eat because we see something that makes our mouth water, or we eat when we are so famished that we could eat like a glutton and then we eat more till we are so full that.. burrrp, yes we overate!

Do you ever complain of acidity, burps, farts, gas or heartburn? These are all signals from your body warning you that you have overeaten. As a nutritionist, my clients are often asking me ‘quick fixes’ for acidity and gas. And my answer is always ‘There is no quick fix to these problems. Stop overeating and eat at regular intervals for them to disappear’. But what do you do? Pop an antacid or an effervescent salt and get ready for the next meal.

So how do you know how much to eat and when to stop? Continue reading →

As a child, I remember my mother giving me a handful of nuts every morning with breakfast. While cashews, almonds and pistachios I liked, I frowned on seeing walnuts. They tasted bitter and unappealing. But, my mother would encouragingly tell me, “Walnuts are good for your brain because they look like your brain. Eat them if you want to top your class”.

After all these years, I can’t help but smile at the truth in that sentence. Nature communicates with such simple signs, it’s amusing. Here is a list of 6 foods that resemble human body parts and nourish them. Continue reading →
