Q&A

Eat fewer calories than your body requires. Focus on whole, unprocessed foods instead of packaged or junk foods. Include at least one portion of protein and two portions of vegetables in each meal. Reduce intake of added sugar and unhealthy fats. Practice portion control and eat mindfully for long-term results.

Vegetarians can meet their protein needs by adding pulses, legumes, soy products, paneer, yogurt, nuts, and roasted chana to meals. Ensure that each main meal has at least one protein source, such as dal, rajma, soy chunks, or curd, to feel full and maintain adequate protein intake.

Yes, fruits are nutritious and provide vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Avoid fruit juices and eating fruits immediately after meals. Limit intake to 1-2 servings per day as snacks, and choose low-glycemic fruits to help manage blood sugar levels.

Yes, fruits can be combined with curd, but avoid making it a smoothie. Enjoy it as a simple dish with chopped fruits and optionally add nuts or seeds for extra nutrients.

One small banana per day is enough as a snack. Large bananas should be limited to one serving per day, and not eaten with main meals, to manage calorie intake.

No, vegetables differ in calories and starch content. Starchy vegetables like potatoes and tubers should be limited and counted as carbohydrate sources. Green leafy vegetables, salads, cabbage, spinach, and cauliflower can be included in every meal for volume and nutrition.

Teach healthy eating habits early. Encourage toddlers to self-feed to learn portion control. Do not skip breakfast. Avoid eating while watching TV or using mobile devices. Limit screen time and promote outdoor play. Reduce frequent consumption of juices, chips, and junk foods.

Use oils like sunflower, soybean, groundnut, or sesame in rotation every 1-2 months. Avoid palm oil and reused oils. Olive oil and flaxseed oil are healthy but best used for salads or light cooking, not deep frying.

Yes, one whole egg per day is acceptable for healthy individuals. People with heart disease or high cholesterol should limit to 3-4 whole eggs per week. Egg yolks provide essential vitamins and healthy fats, so moderation is key.
