TODO

IMP Pointers

  • diet-nutritional-analysis
  • Start taking juice with lunch
  • Put lemon in lunch/dinner specially with palak, moringa, daal makhani
    • Add Nimbu/Lemon to cold/warm food (not hot) before eating specially in iron reach food
  • semolina is still a refined wheat product. It digests very quickly, provides minimal fiber, and causes rapid spikes in blood sugar.
  • no tea, no coffee anytime - only water
  • Pizza (Only when cook on leave or once a month, max veggies)
  • Protein - budget-vegetarian-high-protein-diet

Portions

  • Roti - 2 multigrain
  • Dal portions - 1.5 katori (Thick dal, not watery)
  • Vegetables - 1 katori

Daily Accompaniments

  • For Lunch: Serve alongside your choice of Achaar, Papad, and Chutney.
  • Balance Tips: The breakfasts pair complex carbs (oats, dalia, quinoa, paratha) with protein sources (paneer, sprouts, kala chana, moong/besan batter). Lunches provide comprehensive plant protein via lentils/beans combined with wheat and rice. Dinners are kept lighter on the digestive system by eliminating dry vegetables and lentils, focusing strictly on a vegetable or paneer-based gravy with roti.
  • Milk at night with dry fruits - Almond + Cashew + Walnut + Pista (~11g protein, done daily)
  • Evening Snack: every day pairs fruit with a rotating protein item - Roasted Chana / Soya Nuts / Sprouts Chaat / Buttermilk with Seeds Mix (flax seeds powder, pumpkin seeds, watermelon seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds) - see weekly table above
  • Dinner: low-protein gravies (pasta, samosa, pau bhaji, kofta, bharta, kulcha, pani puri) now carry soya granules or a paneer add-in - see weekly table above

Lemon

Palak, Moringa, and Daal Makhani - IMP to put lemon for iron absorbancy

There is one crucial rule for preparation: Vitamin C is extremely sensitive to heat . You should never squeeze lemon juice into a dish while it is still cooking on the stove or when it is steaming hot, as this will destroy the vitamin. Always squeeze it over your food right before eating, once the meal has cooled slightly.

While this is a great dietary practice, there are a couple of potential side effects to be mindful of with daily lemon consumption:

  • Tooth Enamel Erosion: Lemon juice is highly acidic, possessing a pH between 2.0 and 3.0, which is below the critical threshold where tooth enamel begins to demineralize. Over time, frequent exposure to this acid can wear down your enamel, leading to tooth sensitivity and yellowing. To protect your teeth, rinse your mouth with plain water immediately after finishing your meal to neutralize the acid. Furthermore, wait at least 30 minutes before brushing your teeth; brushing immediately while the enamel is softened by the acid can cause physical damage.
  • Acid Reflux (GERD) Triggers: For some individuals, citrus can irritate the esophageal lining and trigger or worsen heartburn and acid reflux. If you experience a burning sensation in your chest, particularly when lying down to sleep after dinner, you may need to moderate how much lemon you add to your evening meals.

Salads (Transplants safe)

The "Steamed Crunch" Salad

Ingredients: Carrots, green beans, and beetroot.

Method: Cut them into thick sticks or cubes. Steam them in a steamer basket or boil them for just 4-5 minutes so they are cooked through but still have a firm crunch.

The Dressing: Toss them in a bowl while still warm and squeeze half a fresh lemon over them. (Remember: this Lemon + Beetroot combination is fantastic for your 9.9 g/dL anemia!). Sprinkle with roasted cumin powder and black pepper.

Sautéed Capsicum & Tomato Medley

Ingredients: Green/red capsicum, tomatoes, and onions.

Method: Heat half a teaspoon of healthy oil in a pan. Toss the chopped veggies in and sauté them on high heat for 3-4 minutes. They will soften slightly and release their flavors but won't turn into a mushy sabzi.

The Crunch: Toss in a few of your home-roasted, unsalted pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds right before eating for that salad-like crunch.

Boiled Protein Chaat

Ingredients: Sprouted moong or kala chana (MUST be fully boiled), cooked onions, and cooked tomatoes.

Method: Boil the sprouts/chana until completely soft. Sauté the onions and tomatoes in a pan until cooked. Mix them together.

The Flavor: Add lemon juice, a pinch of amchur (mango powder), and black pepper.
