Hello again. Once bitten and twice shy. I can never go back to my old eating habits or leave this 5:2. It is so easy to maintain it for your life. Eat right and choose well.
Breakfast:
Buckwheat Flour ( kuttu ki aata) or
Water chestnut Flour(singhare ki aata) or
Bajre ki aata(pearl millet flour) Dosas with toppings :
Buckwheat flour is consumed during Navrathri fasting days in Gujarat. Some of my Gujarati friends complain that they put on weight during fasting days. The fasting days recipes in Gujarat mostly are Buckwheat puris, or pakodas, or Singhare aata ki samosas. All are deep fried.
Buckwheat has so much nutritional value

One can have a slimmer waist by consuming baajre ki aata or Pearl Millet flour, ancient wisdom claims. Water chestnut flour reduces heat in the body.
I will just share this amazing video of making buckwheat dosas from Mallika Vishwanathan from Easycooking123.
50 Gms of Buckwheat flour is 172 calories for women
80 gms of Buckwheat flour is 274 calories for men
Oil one tsp 3 calories
Toppings of your choice,
Carrots,ginger, onions, beetroots,peppers, corriander, curry leaves.
Half a Medium sized carrot grated is 15 cal
" " " """"""""""""""""""" beetroot is 15 cal
Half a pepper is 12 cal
Onion is 4 cal
one chilli is 3
Total calories is 250.
I can't make dosas like Mallika in the video. My toppings simply fall. I try to make dosas and add the vegetables later. It is easy to make with buckwheat flour as it has some binding agent compared to other flours. Please try to add two tsp of flax seed powder or 1 spoon of Besan ( chick pea flour) for other flours. Flax seed powder or besan acts as an amazing binding agent. Put flax seeds in a blender to get powder.
A fruit for lunch is 90 calories ( banana)
Dinner:
Mixed Vegetable Soup: 150 cal
250 grams of three mixed vegetables is 150 cal
Carrots, Beans, beetroots or
carrots, peppers, broccoli
or your choice,
Boil all the vegetable in enough water ( pressure cooker can be used, one whistle ). Add salt and pepper or spices of your choice. We are not adding any butter or oil. I use sambar powder sometimes.
Total count is 250+90+150 is 490 calories
Bon appetite..
Happy Fasting
I will be back with more meal plans. Sambar powder and chutneys to be followed.
