Q. What should be the diet plan for eliminating processed foods from the diet?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Alternative foods are mentioned below.

1. Early morning around 7 am, have 1 glass of lukewarm water with half lemon and a pinch of cinnamon powder.

2. Around 7.15 am, have green tea with four almonds.

3. At 8.30 am, you can have your breakfast which can include dal with a boiled vegetable soup bowl and 2 egg whites.

4. Midmorning around 11 am, you can have a fruit (apple, orange, guava, or pear).

5. For lunch at 1.30 pm you can have two multigrain chapatis with vegetable curry and fish or chicken curry 100 gm or soybean curry.

6. For evening snacks at 5.30 pm you can have vegetable or chicken stew half a bowl or popcorn.

7. For dinner at 9 pm: Chicken or vegetable stew bowl (150 gm) with a plate of salad (3 days a week).

My advice:

1. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.

2. Avoid fast foods and sugary products such as chocolates and ice cream.

3. Regular exercise is a must. You can go for a morning walk for 20 minutes.

4. Monitor your sugar level regularly.

5. Drinks lots of water (8 to 10 glasses daily).

6. Do not overeat.

7. Manage your stress.

8. Use less oil during cooking (try to use rice bran oil).

9. Sleep for at least 8 hours.

Hope this helps.

Thank you and take care.
