Why no spices? Does it make the food more fattening? or just a matter of personal taste?
Sara, its just a matter of personal taste. I know Im supposed to be tolerant of spices being desi and all - but I cant. I love spicy food...but it gives me this slight tingling/burning feeling in my chest sometimes so I stay away from it.
Other then that, my mom can make low fat chicken look and taste amazing! She made it for me a few years ago when I was dieting heavily but then I just adjusted my diet after a while to maintain the weight loss. Now, I balance out my food intake. If Ive had an unhealthy lunch/dinner one day, I know I cant do it again the next day. I have to make up for it. Another thing that helps in maintaining weight loss is the quality of your food and water intake. Processed food is usually loaded with calories, additives and preservatives. Home made food will give you better results, keep you healthier and feeling better.
