Quick Oats Rava Dosa

As every women I put on weight after marriage, I was no longer a diet conscious... shame on me...My diet and gym activities (yes true I used to work out regularly) went down or just NIL :-(
I tried out dead hard to be in diet, but every time I take a decision, I get a mouthwatering dish in front of me ; courtesy - Mom-in-Law. She is a very good cook. It has been 1year since I my marriage and finally I got into the race, yup I planned to be in diet and it worked out right way. Even though it was bit tough at first few weeks.... Now I completely cut down my dinner and have very like food or just fruits.

A simple technique for diet buddies, don't skip any meals or avoid completely rice or main course.
Eat, but healthy intake and take more fiber like wheat bread sandwich (No..No cheese) or 2 Roti (Don't enlarge your roti because it is just two) or take a bowlful of fruits except mango, banana and pineapple.
So here goes my diet schedule ,

  • Take heavy breakfast which includes protein rich food or just 3 Idlies or 2 roti and 1 cup of fat free boiled milk or I just take cornflakes with milk, badam, dates and honey...I make sure I have a complete breakfast.
  • Lunch - I make sure I include at least two vegetables are included for lunch and take less amount of rice with same amount of vegetables like any curries or side dish with less oil.
  • Evening snack - any fruits or fresh fruit juice without sugar or just 2 Marie biscuits or fiber biscuits with a cup of Tea , say NO to COFFEE .
  • Dinner - Try to take you dinner before 8pm, so you get enough time to get digested. Take fruit salad with honey or oats without milk called "kanji" or 1 roti with some fruits. Else try out this recipe also.
Last but not least I play badminton's everyday for at least 45mins. Suggestion- just being in diet won't make you to burn your fat, so do any cardio exercise or just go out for a brisk walk for 45mins.
So today I just gave a try for a healthy dish and it came out very well, you get the taste of the dosa but with less calories ;-)
