Breakfast
I do not like to stuff myself at breakfast. Contrary to popular belief which says that one should have a heavy breakfast to pull through the day, I believe that it makes you lethargic. Hence, I prefer to have only a glass of milk and a banana or a mango for breakfast. At times, I have south-Indian fare like upma or idlis, but that’s rare.
Lunch
I have a wholesome, home-made vegetarian lunch which consists of raita, papad, pickle, subzi, dal and roti. I avoid having rice. For lunch, I make it a point to eat only home-made food.
Mid-meal snack
I am a foodie. I feel like eating something every two hours - and usually I give in to my cravings. My mid-meal snack consists of something tangy or spicy - mostly it’s sev puri, a snack I can survive on for years. I just love my sev puris.
Dinner
I prefer having my dinner at home for two reasons: one, its healthier and second, because my mother is a fantastic cook. She loves to experiment with various cuisines. We follow an interesting norm at home. While lunch consists of typical Gujju fare, our dinners have an amazing variety ranging from pizzas to pastas to chop suey.
Exercise routine
I do not follow any exercise routine - I’m too lazy to do so. My mom urges me to join her in her early morning yoga routine, which I do once in a blue moon but that’s it. The fact that I have good metabolism stops me from putting on weight.
Naini’s recommendation
Breakfast
Karisma’s breakfast is very healthy as it constitutes the right combinations of foods. Milk and bananas is a complete food by itself because it contains complex carbohydrates, protein, fibre, natural sugar and fats. However, she should have skimmed milk and no sugar should be added to it.
Lunch
Avoid papad and pickles as they are high in salt and oil content. Rice should not be avoided completely. She can shift to brown rice.
Mid-meal snack
Opt for baked puris while preparing sev puri. Add some tangy chutney to make it healthier.
Dinner
All the dishes consumed for dinner seems extremely unhealthy. Karisma should choose healthier versions of the same foods made with whole grain flour. She should also add vegetables to every meal.
Exercise routine:
Exercising is very important to prevent the innumerable bad effects of our fast-paced lives. It has a calming and de-stressing effect besides preventing various diseases, heart and joint problems in the long run.
