yes this is what i forgot to elaborate in my previous post.............fruits like papaya and apple and a lot of carrots throughout the day.......keep munching on them and i prevent myself from unnecessary snacking.................which incidentally is a honey trap for me ........have been eating healthy food for long time but this in between snacking wipes away all my efforts.......now it is under control and just a few spoonfuls of bhujiya is all i need now a days.

it is worth mentioning that at least 2 to 3 times a week i am taking parathas or chillas for breakfast which is made in a little desi ghee and this keeps my cravings satisfied............i don't want to starve myself and food gives unparallalled gratification.........almost orgasmic, as they say, so spicy n tasty is the key word......less fats, complex carbohydrates and a lot of fibrous food........a lot of water too.

for complex carbohydrates i use a flour of mixed cerials for making chapatis, parathas are made in whole wheat flour, but paratha dough is always mixed with a lot of greens like paalak, methi or bathu saag......these parathas we eat with low calorie chutnys which are more like the idli chutny...........both me and arvind are enjoying this green paratha and white chutny combo..........i shall post these very soon...i keep taking the pics but posting gets delayed..........

my trick is mix the cooking ingredients with as much greens and as much vegetables that it becomes more filling, make it spicy and use a lot of tangy chutnys n achars made without oils..........working for me.

i think i have identified my problem area and will sort it out soon.............
