4. Five Golden Rules for Indian Diet Success
- Weigh Your Cooking Oil: 1 Tablespoon of oil contains 120 calories! Use a 5ml spray bottle or limit total household cooking oil to 2 teaspoons per person per day.
- Double the Dal, Halve the Rice: Instead of 2 large cups of rice with 1 spoonful of dal, flip the ratio: eat 1 small cup of rice with 2 large bowls of thick dal.
- Drink Water Before Meals: Drink 500ml of water 15 minutes before lunch and dinner to prevent overeating.
