Don t get overwhelmed if you have seen remarkable results from your fitness routine. It should just motivate you to perform better and go that extra mile to the next level. Here s today s plan to help you work towards your goal:
Morning Coconut water is a natural energy drink. It is loaded with vitamins and refreshes you instantly. You can buy some coconuts in the evening and drink fresh water from it early morning. An even better idea is to take a quick walk to the coconut vendor early morning to have it. That way you can begin your day with exercise too.
Breakfast It s not easy to come up with new ideas for all 3 meals every day. Our fitness plans help you plan these meals properly while keeping healthy eating in mind. You can make some rice ghavans or Maharashtrian savoury pancakes accompanied by a coconut chutney.
Lunch Give the boring roti sabzi a miss. Chances are even people at home are bored of it. With just a little twist it can be made into an interesting lunch or tiffin recipe. Make a stuffing out of the vegetables and add it to roti to get an interesting vegetable parantha. You can even cut it in shapes to make it interesting for kids.
Snacks Enjoy the healthy version of falafels instead of the deep fried ones. The chickpeas used in the recipe are a rich source of fibre and are low in fat. They also up your vitamin and minerals intake.
Dinner Craving for some sweets for dinner? Incorporate a little sweetness in your dinner itself. The protein rich coconut and paneer puranpoli is an excellent and healthy version of the traditional Maharashtrian delicacy.
