Hey guys. Welcome back to day four of the weekly Diet Meal Plan series. If you’re new here, please check This diet plan for seven days will help you to lose weight and change your lifestyle to a much healthier one. So take this one week, full day diet plan as a challenge to wean off from refined sugar. The oil I’m using in the recipes are unrefined coconut oil and desi ghee which is also known as clarified butter.
Weekly Diet Meal Plan
I have customized this diet plan and taken care of nutritional requirements and also included morning and bedtime drinks that will boost your metabolism throughout the day. Include 30 to 40 minutes of exercise and stoke up some fresh fruits as you will be snacking on them.
Start your day with cinnamon tea. Cinnamon helps to burn stomach fat and also helps to boost your metabolism.
Breakfast
After 30 minutes, have your breakfast. For breakfast. I’m serving carrots crepe. Making crepes is easy. If you have some homemade dosa batter in your fridge, you can plan ahead and make some dosa batter and store in the fridge.
The reason why I am including carrots in this diet plant is because carrots are a rich source of beta carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A and they are also a good source of potassium which your body needs. When on a weight loss journey. To make carrot dosa grease an iron tawa with gingelly oil and spread one and a half lateral full of the thick dosa batter.
Spread the batter into a slightly thick dosa, immediately sprinkle one medium sized grated carrot, half chopped green chilies and some chopped curry leaves, and put the flame on the lowest and cover with the lid. Curry leaves are a rich source of folic acid and iron, so try to include garden fresh curry leaves in your diet plan, especially if you have hair fall issues and anemia. Another thing you should consider is using an iron pan as cooking in iron pans helps in better iron absorption.
After about a minute on low flame, open the lid and drizzle one third teaspoon desi ghee and press the carrots lightly with the spatula and carrot, is ready to serve the healthy fats in Desi Ghee, also known as clarified butter will help to absorb the vitamins and carrots vitamins like A, K, E, and D needs healthy fats like Desi Ghee to be absorbed into the body. Desi ghee will also help to bring down the glycemic index of the dosha, so include little desi ghee in your weight loss diet plan and you will notice along with weight loss, your digestion improves.
Your skin will become clearer and glowing. Serve the dosa with coconut chutney and breakfast Is ready. Remember to keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.
As a mid-morning snack, have two apples or one large apple or any seasonal fruit of your choice.
