Weight Loss: This Protein-Rich Desi Breakfast Dish Is Perfect For Weight Loss

It's a fact that a healthy diet is essential to weight loss and one that cannot be stressed enough. Eating clean is not just good for your overall health, but is crucial for shedding those extra kilos too. But it's not just what's on your plate, but what time you eat also matters when it comes to weight loss. Eating healthy meals as early in the day as is possible may help you in losing weight faster. To lose weight, it is recommended that one should eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper. This is because your metabolism slows down in the night and your body may not be able to burn those calories off. But when it comes to breakfast, you must never skip it if you want to lose weight.

The contents of your breakfast also have a huge impact on the rate of weight loss. An ideal healthy breakfast for someone on a weight loss diet must have three qualities - rich in protein, low in sugar and containing good amounts of healthy fats. This is because both protein and fats are satiating in nature and can keep your energy levels up, as well as keep you full for longer. Whereas if you consume sugary breakfast cereal or sugary packaged fruit juices, you are likely to experience an energy crash soon after and sluggishness towards the afternoon. There is one particular protein-rich and nutritious desi dish that meets all three requirements of a healthy weight loss-friendly breakfast- anda bhurji (or egg bhurji).
