Watch your Portions!!
For every roti, there should be 1 bowl full of vegetable and salads in our meals. These are rajma prepared for lunch, and the quantity served is more than 1 small sized roti. If it's a normal veg, adding a bowl of dal will add protein.
Eating more sabzi and salads will ensure you dont overeat carbs I.e. roti. For every another roti, increase intake of veg and salads proportionately.
Believe me you will be full sooner because of fibres and proteins and never overeat.

Sweet dish prepared without any sugar.

Happy Diwali!! Diwali for kids is their vacation, fun, travel and eating lot of good food. They never worry about eating too much and that's how we should be! If we always worry about what we are eating and how much we are eating, our worries impact us more than the food we eat. Eating in moderation is the way to go and enjoy the festival without any guilt:)

Every cell, tissue or organ needs water to function properly.
What are the signs that you are not having proper water intake?
- Feeling thirsty: Thirst is a sign that your body is in fire-fighting situation. Never wait till you actually feel thirsty.
- Urine color: Urine turning to darker shades of yellow is another sign that you dont have adequate water.

Tips to track water intake:
Keep a personal 1lit bottle with you at all times and track the water intake by number bottles you finish in a day.

Even when you feel an urge to snack or eat something, try having a glass of water and you dont feel hungry anymore!! It was probably thirst and not hunger and you just saved some unnecessary calorie intake :) :)
