Day 2: Mindful Eating to Lose Weight

Day 2 Stop eating fried food

How to do it?

• A craving for fried foods might suggest a need for good fats, like Omega 3 fatty acids.
• Try to eat more fish, or have milk, or eggs containing these oils instead.
• With a bit of creativity, we can revamp our favourite fried foods so they can be enjoyed guilt-free. 
• Try baking with a coating of bread crumbs instead of deep-frying. This is a great way of mimicking the crunchiness and preserving the tender texture.
  • Fish and chips can be replaced by oven-baked fish that is coated with rolled oat.
  • Fried chicken can be replaced by a grilled version, opting for white meat and peeling the skin. 

Why it matters?

• When something is deep fried in oil, it multiplies the caloric density. In other words, you’ll be taking in a lot more calories.
• The saturated fat and trans fat in deep-fried foods increase your risk for obesity and heart diseases.
