You must have seen our Facebook Live video with Chef Ranveer Brar in which he gave out some really cool cooking and diet tips. In case you missed it, here's a quick summary of those awesome weight loss and healthy living tips he gave us!
2/8
Reduce your intake of processed and refined food--While all of us must try to reduce our intake of processed foods, Chef specially gave this tip for diabetics. He explained that sugar from processed foods get easily absorbed which can cause a sudden spike in the blood glucose level. So to avoid that, eat food that is rich in fibre as it releases sugar slowly and helps in maintaining blood sugar. He also said that diabetics must eat small meals throughout the day to maintain their glucose level.
3/8
Do not stop eating while losing weight--Chef says that you should never starve yourself. When you starve your body goes into emergency mode and you start putting on weight the moment your start eating. Also, don't remove anything completely from your diet. Make sure your diet contains all the necessary elements. He also says that you should eat food that is locally produced and culturally relevant.
4/8
Eat what suits you--You might follow a diet that has helped someone else lose weight, but that might not necessarily give you results. Eat what suits your body. You know what is right for your body, observe how it reacts to different food and do what you think is best for your body.
5/8
Air fryers are better than microwaves-- Air fryers are a pressurised convection technology and heat the food from outside. Microwaves on the other hand cook the food from inside out which is not the way we have been cooking for the longest time, they are bets avoided.
6/8
Don't use the elevator--Most of us have the habit of taking the elevator even if we have to go to the second floor. Don't do that. Chef says that you should stop using the elevator if you have to climb less than five floors. He also says you must also walk a distance that is less than a kilometre and not drive.
7/8
Don't sleep immediately after dinner--You must avoid going to bed immediately after you have had your dinner. Try and eat a couple of hours before you hit the bed.
8/8
Live life moderately--Chef says that this is his secret to healthy life. He says that along with staying happy it is must that we don't overdo anything or live an excessive life. Eat in moderation, live in moderation to stay healthy.
