Are You Paying The Right Price When Buying Nutritional Supplements In India?
Tumblr media
The health and dietary supplement scene in India is exploding. With everyone talking about health and fitness, it feels like everyone’s popping pills. But are you really getting your money’s worth? People today find it easy to order their amino acid supplements or weight loss supplements online. This has spurred the fast growth of numerous online stores. This has also, in turn, made the dietary supplement sourcing process a little complicated. Buyers do not really know whether they are paying the right price for the products that they are ordering online. There’s a lot that goes into the price of a supplement bottle.
If you happened to compare the price of the whey proteins or the other health supplements that you order online, you would notice a huge variation in the prices between one store and the other for a similar product. Most of us have the habit of ordering their dietary supplement from the first store that we come across. This may not be a useful approach, given the fact that each store sets its own price. It is always recommended that you source all your dietary supplements only after a careful comparison of the prices between multiple stores. You will have a better clarity regarding the market price of the product that you are ordering and this will also protect you from paying a high price unnecessarily. So, if you are buying ashwagandha supplements, you will first do your research on ashwagandha capsule benefits and along with that you should also check the cost of the ashwagandha capsules between multiple stores for the same quantity. This will avert all possible losses and help you land on the right produt.
The goal here is not to find the lowest price , but the goal is to ensure that we are not getting ripped off because of the unregulated market for health supplements with respect to the prices. While trying to ensure that you are selecting the right product and the right supplier, you must also not lose sight of the quality of the supplements that you are ordering. There could be a marked difference in the quality of the supplements that we order. There is no point sourcing poor quality dietary supplements or nutritional supplements just because they are cheap. Without getting the required results, you would only be wasting whatever money you spend on these supplements. It is part of the buying process to establish the overall quality of the supplements.
As you could easily notice here, all the above would take time and you cannot choose to place the orders in the last minute without doing your groundwork. Only the initial purchase process would be tedious. Once you identify the right product and the right supplier, you will be able to save time on all the subsequent purchases. Therefore, do not hesitate to invest adequate time initially as it will certainly go a long way in protecting your interests.

Vitamin B1 - Benefits, Sources, and Daily Requirements
Learn about the importance of Vitamin B1, also known as Thiamine, for your overall health. Discover the best sources of this essential nutrient and how much you need to consume daily.
One of the essential B vitamins that are played a crucial role in maintaining good health is vitamin B1, also known as Thiamine. This water-soluble vitamin is needed to help the body convert carbohydrates into energy and is involved in the production of DNA and RNA, which are important for cell growth and division.
Benefits of Vitamin B1
These elements consist of several benefits to our body including:
* Helps convert carbohydrates into energy: This Vitamin is needed to help the body break down and convert carbohydrates into glucose, which the body uses for energy.
* Supports a healthy nervous system: Thiamine is important for the healthy functioning of the nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord.
* Promotes healthy heart function: Vitamin B1 helps support a healthy heart by promoting the normal functioning of the cardiovascular system.
* Boosts immunity: Thiamine is needed for the production of white blood cells, which are important for fighting infections and diseases.
Sources of Vitamin B1
These elements are found in a variety of foods, including:
* Whole-grain cereals, bread, and pasta are good sources of these elements.
* Legumes: Beans, lentils, and peas are also good sources of this nutrient.
* Sunflower seeds, macadamia nuts, and pistachios are all good sources of these elements
* Pork, trout, and tuna are all good sources of this essential nutrient.
Daily requirements
* The daily requirements of vitamin B1, also known as thiamin, vary depending on factors such as age, gender, and overall health status. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for these elements in adults is 1.2 mg for men and 1.1 mg for women.
* Pregnant and breastfeeding women have slightly higher requirements, with an RDA of 1.4 mg and 1.5 mg, respectively. Children and adolescents have lower requirements, with RDAs ranging from 0.2 mg for infants up to 0.9 mg for teenage boys.
* Vegetarians and people who consume a lot of alcohol may have higher requirements for these elements. It is important to note that while this element deficiency is rare in developed countries, certain conditions like chronic alcoholism and malnutrition can lead to deficiency and require higher intakes.
Overall, thiamin is an important nutrient that plays a crucial role in maintaining good health. Incorporating foods that are high in this nutrient into your diet can help ensure that you are meeting your daily requirements.
Consulting a healthcare professional is important before considering taking a supplement. It will ensure the best course of action for your individual needs.

Spent a little extra on groceries this week, now that we're not also having to pay to feed my Father in Law anymore, to get stuff for myself to hopefully force myself to make better lunches.
I went through a lot of photos leftover from my Fitblr days from 2010 through 2013, when I was actively weightlifting and stuff, and at my healthiest, to refresh myself on what I was eating then. And honestly I'd forgotten how low effort a lot of my food actually was. It seems like a lot of stuff I could still make myself now, even being disabled now.
So I invested in a thing of Protein Powder just for myself (my GP's still yelling at me about Protein levels, anyways. Even upping my intake, I'm still not getting enough somehow). Bought a bunch of frozen veggies that I could see in the photos; some of it's stuff I can't eat anymore because of new conditions or being on medications (grapefruit, usually mushrooms; a few other things). But a lot of it's still stuff I can.
... If I can just get the energy to actually get up the stairs a bit more frequently ...
We'll see how it works out this week. It may be a long shot. I may have to abandon it. But we'll see. I restart the Iron supplements tomorrow, and while I don't think my Iron's the issue since I've already trialed it, I'm praying they at least help a little at minimum; I'm begging my body to cooperate somehow.
Tumblr media
Later day ETA: I actually straight up found my old meal plan from my original Fitblr days. It's so basic, of course. And some things have to change now for obvious reasons. But it's a solid foundation. Especially having found the actual meal records on top of it, to give me ideas.
I also found my entire workout routine, too. It's way too much for me to do now. There's no way. But it's interesting to see what I used to do in relation to what I was eating.
I knew documenting everything and actually keeping these records'd come in handy somehow, some day.

Low Spoon Meals
- Overnight oats - just mix rolled oats, milk and your choice of fruit, toppings, thickeners etc. I like this because it’s easy to just dump things and you can prep it in advance during times you have more spoons.
- Sandwiches - Again, can be prepped ahead of time and requires little assembling. Your choice of bread, sauce, veg and protein. I like wholegrain bread with spinach, deli turkey, guacamole and spicy mayo. You can simplify or fancy it up as much as you like. Ham and cheese works too. You can also toast them and them bam you’ve got a toastie. Sandwich presses are your best friend.
- Frozen fish and frozen veg - Get a sheet tray. Put some foil or baking paper on it. I like to add a frozen fish fillet (but you can use fresh or chicken), and a bunch of green beans (or veg of your choice). Drizzle olive oil. Add spices (I use garlic powder, paprika and salt) and then I usually put in the oven for about 20 minutes at 225 C (440 F). If the fillet is smaller, check it at 17 minutes. Best part? Just remove the foil/paper for easy clean up.
- Wraps - Take a tortilla, a veggie, a protein and some sauce. My favourite is a wrap with tuna, shredded carrot, spinach and spicy mayo. I buy my carrots pre-shredded to make it easier.
- Grilled cheese and tomato soup - Empty a can of tomato soup into a microwave safe bowl and zap it, taking it out and stirring every 45 seconds. Then toast two pieces of bread and stick some cheese between those bad boys. Once the soup is ready, zap the grilled cheese in the microwave for 10 seconds to make sure it melts. Or if you don’t own a toaster, just microwave the whole thing. Then enjoy!
Noodle soup - In a pot, boil water. Add a chicken bouillon cube, some frozen veggies and hokkien or udon noodles. You can also add frozen dumplings. Just boil it for a few minutes then done. I pre-boil my water in an electric kettle and add it to the pot to save time.
Eggs - Pretty good. Can quickly scramble them, hard boil them. Can even cook them in the microwave.
Some meals to have on hand for really bad days
- Instant mac ‘n cheese - Not everyone likes this stuff and it’s not the healthiest, but it’s good in a pinch. I always keep some on hand. To make it gourmet, add some garlic powder to it.
- Instant powdered mashed potato - Again, not everyone’s favourite, but it’s so good and easy. Just add boiling water to powder and bam you’ve got mashed potato. Add butter to make it gourmet.
- Instant noodles - Goes without saying.
- Frozen bread - Did you know you can freeze bread? Take a slice of frozen bread and zap in the microwave 10 seconds for quick sustenance.
- Microwave rice - This is good by itself but also great to add an extra something to meals without too much extra effort.
- Frozen dumplings - if you have a rice cooker, you can put water in the pot and steam these in the top with a steamer. Or you can boil them in water. Or you can put them in a bowl with water and nuke them in the microwave.

Garnets 04 Fishy
[Ao3] [ffnet] full chapter in the links
"It's a little alarming how fast things just…vanish." Lily noted from where she sat in the galley. The tables and chairs were still folded and tucked aside, where they had been put months ago. The crates that used to take up space were gone. It left the galley barren to her.
"It's been what? Nine hours?" Lily asked in the empty room.
"Nine and a half." Riggs offered, so to say he was keeping a close eye on his charge. She was sitting at the sole table, finally eating the cupcakes she had made earlier in the morning. It was not the healthiest of meals like she normally made, but the AI could understand. Yet eating just cupcakes in the current stress levels was a little better than nothing.
"Are you going to eat something more substantial?" Riggs asked, getting a warning from Vega that a portal was opening again in the workshop space again. Making sure that there was nothing other than the big armored form coming out and pushing the next few crates through.
The animals had all been carefully packed up and the first to move. Including Lily's three tabby cats, who were very unhappy about this drastic change in routine.
"No," Lily shook her head, setting the last cupcakes back into a sealing box with the frosting. "I…don't want too much in my stomach, Vega said it would be tonight right? If something is wrong with the mask then I don't want to throw up a lot."
"Will you at least drink a protein shake?" Riggs offered something that might help his charge while she did not feel well.
"Okay," Lily rolled her eyes as she got up, but constantly fending off a worried AI was not worth the headache. Padding into the kitchen propper, making a note to be sure to change before too much longer.
It was not hard to get a bottle, shaking up water and the meal replacement powder. Or to grab a smaller cucumber to nibble on. The young woman was just getting herself into finishing packing up the last sable goods in the kitchen when a familiar chime sounded.
"...Riggs?" Lily asked, looking up and in the general direction of the observation room as there was another larger wave to send vibrations through the floor.
"Mr. Hawkins is back." The platform AI said, noting how the Slayer paused in the workshop bay. As if hearing his speakers from rooms away. "He's dragged something in again."
Lily swallowed, and put down the bag of dry noodles, jogging out of the galley. She had to slow and then stopped at the stairs leading to the higher level. Pressing the mask to her face to breathe before skittering up the stairs. Not used to looking around in her pocket of safety, Lily did not notice how there was a large form coming slightly around a corner.
She was out of breath fully when she got to the dim observation room despite taking breaks. Stopping at the closed door for a few minutes with the mask to her face, "Riggs? Is the…the room secure? Dad can't… god I hate stairs now- he can't get out of the hall right?"
She could hear a dull thud through the door every little bit.

Milk Myths Debunked: Separating Fact from Fiction
Milk has always been a part of our daily lives, from our morning cereal to our evening chai. But what do we really know about it? There are countless myths and misconceptions surrounding milk that need to be debunked. So, let's pour ourselves a glass of truth and separate fact from fiction, especially when it comes to choosing the right milk for our families.
Tumblr media
Myth 1: Raw Milk is Healthier
Many people believe that raw milk, straight from the udder, is the healthiest option. They argue that pasteurization, the process of heating milk to kill harmful bacteria, destroys its natural goodness. However, this is far from the truth.
Fact: Raw milk can contain dangerous bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria, which can cause severe illness. Pasteurization is a vital step in ensuring milk's safety. Shreedhi, a trusted milk brand from Indore, employs this process, adhering to strict FDA guidelines, to eliminate harmful microorganisms while retaining the milk's essential nutrients.
Myth 2: All Milk is the Same
People often assume that milk is milk and milk powder, and it doesn't matter which type they choose. Whether it's full cream, toned, skimmed, or tea milk, they think it's all the same inside the carton.
Fact: Each type of milk serves a different purpose. Full cream milk is rich and creamy, great for drinking or making desserts. Toned milk strikes a balance between creaminess and low fat, suitable for everyday use. Skimmed milk is ideal for calorie-conscious individuals, while tea milk is specially crafted for that perfect cup of chai. Shreedhi offers a variety of milk options to cater to all these specific needs.
Myth 3: Milk is Only for Kids
Some adults believe that milk is meant for children and is unnecessary in their diet.
Fact: Milk is a fantastic source of calcium, which is vital for maintaining healthy bones and teeth at any age. It also provides protein and other essential nutrients that are beneficial for adults. It's not just for kids; it's for everyone seeking a nutritious lifestyle.
In conclusion, when it comes to milk, let's stick to the facts. Raw milk might sound appealing in theory, but the risks it poses far outweigh any potential benefits. Pasteurized milk, like the one offered by Shreedhi, ensures safety without sacrificing nutritional value. Remember that not all milk is the same; the type you choose should align with your dietary needs. And don't fall for unfounded myths; milk remains a healthy and delicious part of a balanced diet, no matter your age. So, raise your glass to good health, and enjoy your Shreedhi milk without any lingering doubts.
Include a glass of Shreedhi Milk in your diet and fulfill all your dietary needs!

good luck losing weight. don't get discouraged, it takes time. what helped me to lose weight was eating lots of high protein low cal food. i was eating greek yogurts that had 80 calories but like 20 grams of protein and they filled me up pretty good.
This week I've been eating so much greek yoghurt lol
I need to get my protein powder again, it's not the healthiest but a protein shake always kept me full.

Why Omega-3 Fish Oil Capsules are Essential for a Healthy Life
Incorporating omega-3 fish oil capsules into your diet can provide numerous health benefits. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that our bodies cannot produce on their own, making it crucial to obtain them through diet or supplements. Omega-3 fish oil capsules are a convenient and effective way to ensure you get these vital nutrients. They support heart health, brain function, and much more.
Find below five reasons why you should consider adding omega-3 fish oil capsules to your daily routine.
Supports heart health
One of the most well-known benefits of omega-3 fish oil capsules is their positive impact on heart health. Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce triglycerides, lower blood pressure, and decrease the risk of heart disease. They also prevent the formation of blood clots, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes. By taking omega-3 fish oil capsules regularly, you can support your cardiovascular system and reduce the risk of heart-related issues.
Enhances brain function
Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for brain health. They support cognitive function, improve memory, and can even reduce the risk of mental decline associated with aging. DHA, a type of omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil, is a major structural component of the brain. Regular intake of omega-3 fish oil capsules can help maintain brain health, enhance mental clarity, and potentially lower the risk of conditions like Alzheimer's disease.
Reduces inflammation
Chronic inflammation is linked to numerous health problems, including arthritis, heart disease, and cancer. Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce inflammation in the body. This can alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and improve overall health. By incorporating omega-3 fish oil capsules into your diet, you can reduce inflammation and lower the risk of chronic diseases.
Promotes eye health
Omega-3 fatty acids play a vital role in maintaining eye health. DHA is a major structural component of the retina, and a deficiency in omega-3 can lead to vision problems. Studies have shown that omega-3 supplements can reduce the risk of macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision impairment and blindness. Taking omega-3 fish oil capsules can help protect your eyes and maintain good vision as you age.
Improves skin health
Omega-3 fish oil capsules can also benefit your skin. Omega-3 fatty acids help to maintain the skin's lipid barrier, keeping it hydrated and preventing dryness. They can also reduce inflammation, which can alleviate skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Regular intake of omega-3 can improve skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and give your skin a healthy, youthful glow.
Final thoughts
Omega-3 fish oil capsules offer a wide range of health benefits, from supporting heart and brain health to reducing inflammation and promoting eye and skin health. Incorporating these capsules into your daily routine can help you achieve optimal health and prevent various health issues. As with any supplement, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting to ensure it is right for you. Embrace the benefits of omega-3 fish oil capsules and take a proactive step towards a healthier, more vibrant life.

The alpha-lipoic effect on diabetes and other ailments
As you know, just "balancing" blood sugar levels is not enough to treat diabetes.It puts the spotlight on the natural product "alpha-lipoic acid" ALA for short, that has great potential for treating diabetes. ALA is a sulfur-containing compound found in human cells required for energy production in mitochondria.
* Improves Insulin Sensitivity, Lowers Glucose and Lipids Most studies on ALA in diabetes have focused on its effects on neuropathy; it has been shown to increase blood sugar and lower lipids, primarily by enhancing measurements of oxidation.
* Diabetic treatment ALA is not a diabetes drug. It is a dietary supplement sold at drugstores and health food stores. This antioxidant is both water-soluble and fat-soluble. All nooks and corners of the body can hold it. ALA is a potential natural way to relieve neuralgia caused by diabetes. ALA may lower blood sugar levels and may prevent nerve damage.
* Autonomic neuropathy Taking alpha lipoic acid may help with another diabetes-related condition called autonomic neuropathy, which affects nerves to the internal organs. A study of 73 people with cardiac autonomic neuropathy, which affects the heart, found that subjects reported fewer symptoms of the condition when they took 800 mg of alpha-lipoic acid orally compared to a placebo.
* Brain Function and Stroke Alpha lipoic acid can easily enter the brain and thus may help protect the brain and nervous tissue. It is being studied as a potential treatment for some brain concerns. To date, there is no indication that it works.
* Alpha Lipoic Acid and Weight Loss Studies have shown that alpha lipoic acid affects weight loss in several ways. It shows reduced activity.
* More active AMPK can make you feel more hungry On the other hand, inhibiting AMPK activity may increase the number of calories your body burns at rest. Therefore, animals consuming alpha lipoic acid consumed more calories.
* Inflammation According to a 2018 analysis, ALA can significantly reduce levels of C-reactive protein (CRP).
CRP is an inflammatory marker that indicates chronic inflammation associated with harmful diseases such as diabetes and cancer.
* Heart Disease Several studies show that alpha-lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant, and therefore may help reduce oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is one of the prime causes of heart disease. A review of several randomized controlled trials also found that ALA may lower levels of 'bad' cholesterol, another risk factor for heart disease.

A cup of black tea, with honey (5g) and soy lite milk (20ml)
Cal: 306 | Protein: 20.9
Thoughts: I’m glad to not feel exhausted. I did wake up every now and again throughout the night but I blame the loud ads that played whilst listening to a YouTube audiobook. I had some time before breakfast for a workout, with a focus on my glutes, following ten minutes on the a stairmaster.
Tumblr media
Snack (9:50AM)
Caramel latte
Cal: 50 | Protein: 1g
Lunch (12:20PM)
Rice cakes (2 slices), caramel protein bar.
Cal: 202 | Protein: 19.2g
Thoughts: After finishing at my first job. Had to shove this down on the bus to my other job. But having work really keeps me busy and not thinking of food all the time.
Tumblr media
Snack (3:00PM)
Mandarins (112g) and blueberries (50g)
A cup of black tea with full cream milk (20ml)
Cal: 92 | Protein: 1.8g
Tumblr media
Thoughts: these were so sweet.
Snack (6:30PM)
A sesame ball
Cal: 120 | Protein: 2g
Thoughts: honestly at this point, after spending some time thrifting, I was so hungry and I had missed my bus so I really need a snack. And this was one of the few places open at this time. Not the healthiest option, I definitely could have gotten something else, but oh well, it was cheap.
Tumblr media

Vegetable soup with frozen veggies (125g), two eggs and a packet of cup-a-soup (spring vegetable) (250ml)
A bowl of kimchi (75g)
Cup of black tea, some honey (5g) and lite soy milk (20ml)
Cal: 240 | Protein: 14.7
Tumblr media
Total calories: 1026 (Goal 1200)
Total protein: 60g
Thoughts: I definitely woke up on the right side of the bed today. It had really started off amazingly, and the first shift of the day breezed by smoothly. I was able to read while working then rushed off to my next job. Although, after not being able to eat dinner at the normal time, I did end up craving something sweet, which I allowed for myself anyway as I had stayed under my calorie intake. I'm taking more and more control, especially with a farewell party and birthday at work, with all the biscuits, chips and cakes that popped up in every table at work, I didn't divulge and join in any consuming of such treats. I'm very proud of myself. Although I do believe this challenge to be stupid, I know it will work. But I will only allow it until I have reached my goal weight of being 50kg or lighter, hoping to be there by the end of September then I shall enjoy life - with boundaries.
Sleep: 9:00PM

Summertime Barbeque Central: Tips to Make the Most of it!
Have you gotten the grill out yet? There’s nothing like firing it up and enjoying a meat-centric meal outdoors with your loved ones, from barbeque to cookout. But we’re here with an important dietary message: don’t fear red meat! We’ll explain why this oft-demonized category of deliciousness is frequently maligned in the media, and why you can enhance your health and wellbeing by being conscientious about red meat consumption without giving it up.
Curbing Carcinogens with Smarter Choices
Many studies come out in the news cycle year after year declaring the negatives of red meat like beef, lamb, and mutton. Rates of colorectal cancer are increasing, but what many of these studies don’t account for is overall lifestyle and the kind of red meats consumed. There is a big difference between grass-fed and finished (often listed as 100% grass-fed) beef and factory-farmed, processed meats. Avoiding nitrites and nitrates by skipping the deli meats and choosing healthier sourced options, as well as a diverse range of cuts, can improve your health. Red meat is chock-full of minerals and vitamins. Adding cuts like shank, tongue, and offal (like liver and tripe) has been essential to the diets of some of the healthiest populations in the world for millennia. You can get your protein fix without guilt by cutting the ultra-processed products and focusing on clean and natural parts of the animal. Another option is to visit hunting shops and farmer’s markets. Not only is it more humane, with ethically raised animals that live their best lives before slaughter, but you can also get a wider variety of meats for the whole family to enjoy. Bison, rabbit, goat, and venison are all a much smarter choice than grocery store beef and make for unique and delicious meals! Enjoy gamey flavor with bison burgers, make a goat curry for a foreign flair, and enjoy the low-fat goodness of rabbit with root vegetables.
Other Cooking Methods
High heat can cause the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) which lead to oxidative stress. Invest in a meat thermometer and ensure you’re not eating burnt bits of meat off the grill if you’re worried about the negative effects. Slow cooking on a low flame is also a wonderful way to ensure you meet your protein requirements while making the most of tougher cuts that are filled with collagen and glycine for anti-inflammatory benefits. Don’t feel guilty about indulging in the burger: balanced macronutrients and healthier meat give your body the energy it needs to thrive, while enabling you to even cut back on calories!
Skip Stressing
One of the main factors in negative health outcomes is chronically high levels of stress. Worrying about what you’re eating during the summertime when you should be enjoying yourself is a recipe for too much food noise and unnecessary stress. Enjoy an indulgence knowing that red meat has been all too maligned in the media, without any guilt.
Picking Protein
When it comes to red meat, some things are easier to buy and source without worry. Lamb sold in the United States is pastured, meaning the animal itself went through far less stress in its lifetime. If your area has West Indian restaurants, catering with some goat is a great choice too: this rarer meat in the States is low in fat while still containing plenty of nutrients with a unique flavor. In general when you’re choosing your meat, focus on the minimally processed options: a packet of minced meat, bone-in cuts, and marrow are all great choices. Protein is essential for your body in so many ways, so don’t worry about perfection: eat your fill with the same natural and organic meals our early ancestors ate. Protein powders and plant extracts may be appealing, but the price you pay for potential gut irritation is not worth choosing a processed option for a nutritious meal you can enjoy with your loved ones. And if you have had trouble digesting meat in the past, a shot of apple cider vinegar before your meal can help your stomach acclimate so you can reap the rewards of branching out beyond muscle meats! Striving for balance will enable you to be consistent rather than worrying about perfection, so enjoy that hamburger and have a healthy summer!

Bisi bele bath for diabetes
This article is originally published on Freedom from Diabetes website, available here. Bisi bele bath, the spicy recipe in Karnataka style, flavorsome, slightly tangy meal prepared from lentils, rice, mixed vegetables and super aromatic spice powder known as bisi bele bath powder. Bisi means 'hot'. bele means lentils and bath means a dish cooked by immersing the ingredients in water.
Tumblr media
A recipe can be made healthier by preparing it in a different way. We can also substitute ingredients if at all possible. We can make them more beneficial by reducing fat, salt, and unwanted calories in the form of sugar. Also, ingredients can be added to increase fiber. Today, we are going to learn about a recipe, a signature dish from Karnataka - Bisi Bele Bath but in FFD style. Diabetic can have this without worry.
Fresh veggies, plenty of south Indian flavors plus plant-based protein makes it a good wholesome dish. Health-conscious or diabetics can opt for it as it's gluten-free and easy to make.
