Your mantra to stay fit?
Health is the perfect combination of ‘Physical Health’ and ‘Mental Health’ and a healthy mind is in a healthy body. So eat well and clean, don’t over eat or binge on fast food, at the same time make sure you also don’t starve. Eat healthy, as many vegetables as you feel like (only after thorough washing and preferably steamed or boiled, not fried), potatoes only till lunch (boiled), use olive oil for cooking and have a minimum sugar intake to balance insulin or sugar levels, eat minimum 3 types of fruits every day, avoid fruits after 6 in the evening and avoid banana, if you want to lose weight.
For mental health, drop your ego, learn to forgive (till the extent that it does not harm you), do your work honestly and be happy.
Your diet chart looks like this...
I wake up with a glass of vegetable juice; follow it up with tea (slim milk and 1 tsp sugar). For breakfast, I have oats, slim milk honey and 6 egg whites, pomegranates. During mid- afternoon, I have an apple and chicken breast or paneer made from slim milk at home. For lunch, I have chapatis , steamed vegetable, dal. In the evening, I have chicken breast and boiled chanas. At night, I eat chicken breast and boiled vegetables. I usually avoid soya milk and tofu.
