Imperative Facts To Know For Weight Reduction !!

1. Fat percentage for men - 10 to 20% and Fat percentage for women - 20 to 30% ( If it exceeds, it leads to health related problems)

2. Ideal BMI (Body Mass Index) - Between 19 and 23 (Normal), Between 24 and 29 (Over weight), Above 30 (Obesity - High risk of diseases)

3. People should weigh according to their height (For example, if height is 155 cm, the ideal weight of a person is 55 kgs --) Height - 100 = Ideal weight).

5..Rice and wheat - Both are rich in carbohydrate and Sugar. The advantage of having Chapattis - Rich in fibre which absorbs Cholesterol (Majority of the people skip rice and have chapattis as a replacement to rice for reducing weight which is definitely a Presumption).

6. Dieting alone doesn't help in reducing weight. Proper food supplements intake (like Proteins, Vitamins, Minerals), proper choice of food, Low calorie food intake (Calorie intake & the rate its burnt constitutes a major part of it) helps a lot in reducing weight. (Of course, a bit of walking and small exercises also adds flavor to it!)

7..Protein is very important to our human body like the Cement for a building. They are the building blocks in our body. The right daily amount of quality protein is very essential. X weight (Kg) of a human body = X gram of Protein - Normal amount of Protein Intake.
(Proper proportionate of Protein and calcium is important. Even if one is high, the accumulation of either of those forms gal stones/ Kidney stones). Protein plays a major role in losing weight in a healthier way.

High Nutrition + Low Calorie + Small Exercises (like Walking) = Healthier life + Weight Reduction 



Hope this helps for you too. See you next time..!

Recipe of the week - Chapatti Noodles

I normally adore cooking different dishes. I have tried preparing different food varieties however I am inspired to post it on my blog now from one of my close friend Varshini.  

I came across this interesting recipe through one of my friend and I tried making it yesterday for myself and for my brother. It was really appetizing and very simple to prepare. Most importantly, the time taken in preparing this dish is too low.

This gives you a supporting hand when there are left out chapattis (Even freshly made chapattis also included when you are bored of eating normal chapattis with some side dishes) or if some sudden visitors in home/ during parties. 

Ingredients:

-           Chapattis (Left outs / freshly prepared) - 5

-          Onions – 2 medium sized

-          Tomato – 2 Small sized

-          Capsicum – 1 Small Sized

-          Green chilies – 1

-          Mustard – Required amount

-          Turmeric powder – 1 teaspoon

-          Chilli powder – 2 teaspoons

-          Corriander powder – ½ teaspoon (For taste)

-          Garam masala – 1 teaspoon

-          Salt – Required amount

-          Oil (2 teaspoons)

     Procedure:

-               -  Pile the Chapattis and cut them first into 4 Quarters. Then into long thin strips ( Scissors helps here in making fine thin strips than a Knife)

        

  

        Heat a pan with Oil and add mustard followed by delicately chopped Green Chillies, Onions, Tomatoes and Capsicum.\

-         Fry the mixture well for a minute.

-         Lower the flame and add turmeric powder, Chilli powder, Corriander powder, Garam masala and pinches of salt ( This is because chapattis already have salt, so adding less would taste better)

-         In a higher flame, fling the pan well after adding all the strips of Chapattis and mix it thoroughly (You can see the change on the weight of the strips after mixing it well, the texture changes and it can be seen)

-          Lastly place the yummy noodles in a plate and garnish it with coriander leaves/ Curry leaves.

     Best Side dish for this:

-          It will taste great with Onion Raita.
