The Ultimate Wedding Guide



THE ULTIMATE WEDDING GUIDE

It’s that time of the year again… THE WEDDING SEASON!!!
The moment we hear wedding, we think of fun, frolic and food. Fun and Frolic are manageable but is Food manageable as well?
All of us want to look our best and maintain our weight but it is the occasions like this that need flexibility in healthy eating too.
Wedding planning can be stressful. Staying healthy and eating well doesn’t have to be.

That’s why today let’s decode the wedding guide and reveal the top secrets for eating smart!!

STEP ONE: BEFORE GOING TO THE WEDDING FUNCTION
Eat any one of these items before leaving for the function, this will ensure you do not overeat at the buffet.
1.      1 bowl dal/ subzi with one phulka roti
2.      1 glass fresh fruit smoothie/ milkshake
3.      Handful of dry fruits with 1 whole fresh fruit
4.      Khakhra with 1 katori curd

STEP TWO:  DURING THE WEDDING
  • Stay away from anything that includes the words: stuffed, double, triple, crispy, etc.
  • Some salad dressings can make a salad unhealthy. Choose a non-cream based or fat-free salad dressing or, just avoid the dressing.
  • Sometimes, a soup/salad along with a protein rich appetizer may be enough to fill you.
  • Avoid papad/pickle
  • Choose stewed, sautéed or grilled food instead of fried & baked.
  • Do not have fruit juices as they are high in carbohydrates and less in fiber, instead opt for Club Soda with lemon wedge (no sugar)
  • Stick to “One Soup/Salad +One Appetizer + One Main course dish” Menu
  • Avoid desserts and choose fresh fruit platter.
Eat smart not less! You can maintain your weight by choosing the below options at the wedding:
  • Fresh Salad with Salad dressing
  • Grilled/ barbequed paneer/tofu/chicken/fish
  • Curd, raita, buttermilk
  • Yellow daal, chole, chana, rajmah, kadhi
  • Phulka roti
  • Fruit platter
  • Idli/plain dosa with sambhar
  • Steamed rice /vegetable pulao
STEP THREE: THE DAY AFTER THE WEDDING

After the wedding, if you have over-eaten and indulged, then make sure you include the following in your diet for few days:
  • Green tea
  • Fresh fruits & vegetables
  • Sprouts & pulses
  • Curd/buttermilk
  • Broken wheat (daliya) khichdi
Make sure you cook your meals with minimal oil, salt & masalas when at home.

6 quick beauty tips by a Nutritionist

6 quick beauty tips by a Nutritionist I’m a firm believer that beauty starts in the kitchen. The relationship between the food we eat and the way we treat our bodies is inevitably reflected in our outward appearance. What we put in is what comes out, and that’s why these tips really makes a difference in how I look and feel.   1.        Drink more water.  Staying hydrated is the easiest and most effective beauty tip, in my opinion. In order to achieve that healthy glow, your goal is to consume about 2 litres of water a day. It’s easier than you think to meet your hydration goals – herbal tea counts, and so do fruits and veggies. That’s right, fresh produce also has a high water content! Think leafy greens, citrus fruits and berries to boost beauty. 2.        Eat (and drink) more greens.  Not only do greens help you hydrate, they also contain so many beautifying vitamins and nutrients that improve your skin, hair and nails. 3.        Take care of your gut.  You

SIMPLICITY OVER SUPERFOODS The goal this month? Simplicity. For many of us, the new year brings about that contagious excitement “to get back on track”, whether that’s carving out a new plan for healthy living, setting intentions for the year, or returning to previous goals for a more balanced routine. You’re probably seeing headlines and social media posts saying “detoxes” and “cleanses” everywhere right now. I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to put yourself through one of those. Your body, in fact, is an incredible machine that knows how to cleanse. It’s easy to get swept up in the marketing power of these promises and spend a lot of money while you’re at it! That’s why simplicity is top of mind for us here at Tattvum. Simple, whole-food ingredients are typically in fact just as powerful as the “superfoods” that you read and hear about.
