really provide you sustained energy throughout the day and would also reduce unnecessary
cravings for food.
Never skip a meal. Also, don’t leave huge gaps in between your meals, which will also a way for
fat storage in your body. –If you are not providing energy for a long period of time, or if you are skipping your meals quite
regularly, then, the body may convert the calories from other meals into fat, as fat is a storage form of energy, which can
be utilized in your no meal time.
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly.
Never sleep immediately after a meal (at least 1½ hrs. gap )
Tea/coffee consumption should not exceed 2 cups per day.
Drink 2 - 3 liters of water daily.
Avoid taking tea/coffee along with any of your meals, as the tannin and caffeine content in tea/coffee hinder the mineral
absorption from the meals. At least 1 hr gap should be there between your meals and tea/coffee.
Use only ½ liter of oil per person per month. This amounts to about 4 teaspoons of oil per day.
Healthy beverage options are lime juice, buttermilk, clear soups, green tea, vegetable juices, tender coconut water.
Avoid processed foods as far as possible. Eg. canned foods, ketchups and XXXXXXX jellies, preserves,
canned soups and ready fruit juices, ready to eat foods. Avoid soft drink in your diet.

Include at least 1 fruit every day. Avoid XXXXXXX grapes, chickoo, custard apple, jackfruit and banana in your diet as these
fruits are high in calories.
Sugar consumption should not exceed 2 tsp per day.
Restrict fried foods and sweets.
Include nuts (almonds or walnuts) in limited amounts for the good fat as they contain omega -3 & 6 essential fatty acids
which are good for your health.
Eat a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, cereals, legumes basis. These should be eaten in natural form leaving strings and
skin intact – like eating apples, guavas with its skin on.
You may replace the above mentioned vegetables with any vegetable of your choice. You may choose from all
vegetables except potato, sweet potato, yam and colocassia.
