[sane-one]

I need to get those sculptured abs by the end of this Diwali. Wait, why is that besan ke ladoo staring at me? Umm... I mean it won’t be a harm to try one. NO, NO-NO-NO. But then, zindagi na milegi doobara bro.

With the rich tradition of India, comes the mouthwatering irresistible delicacies & if you are like me hanging in the middle of gorging into sweets while also being conscious about gaining weight, well you know the guilt! (mutual hugs)

The ooziest jalebis & perfectly cut Kaju-katli may look tempting to look at first but has the highest sugar, carb & fat count. The sweetened aroma of sweets in the atmosphere makes our desire for having it more and the Guilt of not having it creates a psychological feeling of deprivation which heightened our desire.

So, this festive season LET GO OF THE GUILT!

Let us enjoy all the jalebis, Misti Doi, rasugulla with zero guilt, keeping in mind the points below.

✨Be Realistic- completely eliminating sweets is no option and therefore losing weight during this time around is unrealistic. Rather try to focus on maintaining your current weight.

✨Switching to better choices - Alternatives control the ghee & fat intake, use alternates of sugar like dates, jaggery, honey, sugar-free, etc. to sweetened the sweetness. Use whole-wheat instead of refined flour. There is also a market for diet chivda & backed chuklis.

✨Exercise- sweat those extra calories out. Run that extra mile & try to stay active for the entire time because your body will thank you in the new year.

Khushiya batne se badti hai. Also let's be kind & donate the sweets & make someone else’s life sweeter. LOVE LOVE.

Combine protein and carbs to shed holiday weight ....!! - Dr.Vinod Methil "Sweet Clinics"

Dr.Viond Methil, consultant diabetologist at sweet clinics in Vashi,Navi mumbai said that sweets bought from the market contain more calories due to the use of generous helpings of refine sugar and oil.The oils used to fry them are often reheated and used multiple times. Reheated oil releases toxins that have been linked to different types of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer and Parkinson he said. For those who know no limit to their calorie intake during the festive season, a good detox is just what the doctor will order.really hard to refuse all those delicious looking sweets and snacks, but what we don't realise is the unhealthy route we take while indulging ourselves. Most people don't know that Bengali sweets are relatively healthier than north Indian sweets and other rich mawa based varieties. While the sugar content in almost all the sweets is the same, what makes Bengali sweets a tad better is that fact they are not fried which is a healthier option. Dr.Viond Methil, consultant diabetologist at sweet clinics in Vashi,Navi mumbai said that sweets bought from the market contain more calories due to the use of generous helpings of refined sugar and oil. The oils used to fry them are often reheated and used multiple times. Reheated oils release toxins which has been linked to different types of cancer and neurogenerative diseases such as Alzheimers and Parkinsons he said. Olive oil, which has a higher concentration of monounsaturated fatty acids, generates these compounds in smaller amounts, so in that sense it is the safest oil. But for the preparation of sweetmeats, vegetable oil is the preferred cooking medium,he continued. He added that wrong eating habits leads to diabetes, hypertension and heart disease. Consuming unhealthy foods and not consuming nutrients vital for good health can reflect later after the festive season in the form of indigestion, constipation, weight gain, deranged blood sugars and cholesterol levels, heart burns, skin troubles like acne and inflammation. It is important to understand the importance of good nutrition after the festival season to prevent ourselves from further exposure to toxins,a balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables and grain products should be sufficient to provide the body with the required amounts of B vitamins. "Drinking water in adequate amounts is necessary to flush out toxins out of the body via the excretory system. Water acts as a body purifier, by removing toxins and waste from your body. With inadequate amounts of water flowing through the body, these toxins can build up in the body and escape through skin pores. This can contribute to acne. Therefore, by flushing the body internally with water, acne breakouts are less likely to occur due to toxin release through the skin Rather than eat excessively, he recommends that to keep you free from weight gain and fluctuations in blood sugars, meal combination can be a good remedy. Combining protein and carbohydrate at meals and snacks can lead to a healthier life.Diabetologists in Navi Mumbai To prevent ourselves from the ill effects of overeating and indulging ourselves in unhealthy sweets/snacks after festival season, focus on fruits and vegetables to get the maximum benefit of antioxidants present in most of them. The best approach to detoxify after festive season is to drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants with regular physical activity. Know your calories- Besan ladoo - 153 calories Jalebi - 200 calories Rasgulla - 125 calories Small kaju katli - 58 calories Burfi - 142 calories Mysore pak - 357 calories Motichoor ladoo - 150 calories Gulab jamun - 150 calories Detox your body, Eat in moderation. Remember the idiom anything in excess is poison. Use low fat ingredients in your sweets like skimmed milk. Instead of refined sugars use honey, jaggery, fruits, or dates. Prefer dry fruits over deep fried foods. Drink water before meals, it reduces appetite helping you to consume less. Eat slowly Avoid second helpings. Say no to carbonated drinks. Lose the booze and tobacco. If you can part with caffeine then lose that as well. But if youre a coffee-junkie then try to cut your intake to half. Lose the meat and all processed foods. If you can't lose all the meat then cut down your intake and stick to grass-fed, organic meat. Add lots of fiber. Once again, plenty of organic fruits and veggies. Add lots of water and natural juices. Plenty of liquids are key to any successful detox so try to consume at least 12-16 glasses per day. Add some exercise, preferably yoga. If yoga is not your thing then walking for 20-30 minutes at a good pace should suffice. Try for 8 hours of sleep and basic relaxation if possible
