Hello,
Everyone knows I love food , that's why I have this blog right? but just eating yummy food and not doing any exercise impacts your body and you start gaining weight and fat. I have gained too and have decided to take up a 6 week challenge to loose 6% of my body fat percentage.


Its hard for a food lover to stick to a repetitive diet plan so I have decided to be creative with it.

I also don't see many Indian recipes out there for dieting and wanted to open up my options for when I decide to stick to this diet long term.

Hope you follow along... I will also be eventually adding the recipes for these on my you tube Chanel or here.
Disclaimer:
This kind of diet is for my challenge and will not apply to everyone. The Diet chart is suppose to be specific for this challenge and for my weight category.. Moreover I am not blogging everything that I ate in a day but just important meals. I am not even claiming that these meals work but I am blogging my journey as I progress in the challenge. Apart from this Diet I exercise for 3 days for 45 minutes sessions.

What I ate on the first day of the challenge:
Breakfast: Egg white and spinach omelets (with 0% Greek yogurt and fruit):


Recipe:
Whisk together 3 egg whites , spinach (I cut and washed it (1 cup) and tossed it around in a pan (no oil)), some salt.

Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a pan and add the egg mixture. Turn when done on one side.







Lunch:

Cholay (1/2 cup chick peas cooked with 1/2 cup frozen veggies and tomatoes with 6 oz chicken breast mince)

   Recipe:

I added extra frozen veggies to it and Chicken mince after I fry onions and add spices.






Dinner:
1. Tandoori chicken

Recipe:
Chicken Breast : 1.5 lb ( I ate only 6oz of it)

Cut chicken breast into thin fillets. Take them in a bowl and add 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder , 3/4 tsp red chilli powder, 1 tsp ginger garlic paste , 1/2 tsp cumin powder, 1/4 tsp coriander powder, Kasuri methi crushed1 tsp, 1/2 tsp Garam masala powder, Tandoori chicken masala 1 tsp, 3 tblspoons of non fat Greek yogurt and1 tblspoon Avocado oil. Add some orange food color if you like. Marinate this atleast for 3 hours.

Heat oven to 400F. Place chicken on a baking tray and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 40 minutes. Serve immediately .


2. Asparagus
  
Recipe:


Break asparagus from the root where it breaks naturally. wash and add in zip lock. To it  add   1tsp of  olive oil , pinch of salt and 1/4 tsp garlic powder. mix well in the bag.

Place them on a heated grill (I use grill pan on stove) and toss for 30-45 sec.






A Very filling and satisfying day!
