Nutrition Plan Overview & Description
This Nutrition Plan is a sustainable, balanced eating approach designed to promote overall health, steady energy levels, better digestion, weight management (if needed), and long-term well-being. It emphasizes whole, minimally processed foods, nutrient density, and enjoyment of meals while aligning with traditional Indian flavors and ingredients where possible.
Core Principles:
Fill half your plate with vegetables and fruits for vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants (include a rainbow of colors for variety).
Dedicate about one-quarter to whole grains (e.g., brown rice, millets like ragi/jowar/bajra, whole wheat roti, quinoa, or oats) for sustained energy and better blood sugar control.
Use the remaining one-quarter for high-quality proteins (dal, paneer, eggs, chicken, fish, chickpeas, rajma, soy, nuts/seeds) to support muscle repair and satiety.
Incorporate healthy fats in moderation (ghee in small amounts, mustard oil, olive oil, nuts, seeds, avocado) while limiting deep-fried items and trans fats.
