Day 1: Power Pack Protein Poha

Start your weight loss journey with a power pack protein dish. To prepare this recipe, soak half a cup of kabuli chana (chickpeas) overnight and boil them in a pressure cooker. In a pan, heat one teaspoon of oil and add cumin seeds, onions, and tomatoes. Saute for a minute and then add the boiled kabuli chana. Season it with salt and your choice of green or red chili. Add two tablespoons of water and mix well. Then, add two cups of thick poha (flattened rice) and cook for 2-3 minutes. Switch off the gas and squeeze some lemon juice over it. Your power pack protein poha is ready!

Kabuli chana is an excellent source of protein, which helps build and strengthen muscles. Poha is a nutritious and gluten-free meal that is high in carbohydrates, iron, fiber, antioxidants, and essential vitamins.

Day 2: Nutritious Bhajra Carrot and Onion Uttapam

On the second day, enjoy a nutritious bhajra carrot and onion uttapam with tomato chutney and herbal tea. To make the uttapam, soak 1/4 cup of bhajra (pearl millet) overnight. Pressure cook the soaked bhajra with salt for 5 whistles. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked bhajra, bhajra flour, green chili, garlic, grated carrot, finely chopped onion, turmeric powder, salt, and lemon juice. Add water to make a dosa-like batter. Grease a pan with oil and spread the batter. Cook on both sides until golden brown.

Bhajra is rich in insoluble fiber, which aids in weight loss, reduces cholesterol levels, and controls blood sugar. For the herbal tea, boil water with tulsi leaves, mint leaves, lemongrass, and ginger. You can add milk to the tea if desired.

Day 3: Cabbage Paratha

For a healthy breakfast on the third day, try cabbage paratha. Finely chop or grate fresh cabbage and add a pinch of salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to remove excess water. In a bowl, mix the cabbage with whole wheat flour, red chili powder or finely chopped green chilies, turmeric powder, and salt. Add oil and water to make a soft dough. Divide the dough into equal balls and make parathas on a skillet with ghee. Cook until golden brown. Serve with chutney.

Cabbage is low in fat, high in fiber, and a good source of antioxidants, including vitamin C and beta-carotene, which are essential for the body.

Day 4: Tasty and Healthy Oats Dosa

On the fourth day, enjoy a tasty and healthy oats dosa. Grind half a cup of rolled oats into a fine powder and mix it with rice flour, semolina, curd, grated carrot, capsicum, onion, green chili, ginger-garlic paste, cumin seeds, black pepper powder, and salt. Add water to make a batter and let it rest for 10 minutes. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed. Grease a pan with oil and make dosas. Oats are low in calories, high in fiber, and a good source of protein. Avoid coconut chutney if you want to lose weight as coconut contains fat.

Day 5: Wholesome Chilla with Herbal Tea

On the fifth day, enjoy a wholesome moong dal chilla with herbal tea. Soak a cup of green moong dal overnight and grind it with ginger and water. Season the batter with black pepper powder and salt. Make medium-sized chillas on a hot pan with minimal oil. Moong dal chilla is loaded with dietary fiber, which improves metabolism, keeps you satiated, and reduces hunger cravings. It is also a good source of protein, which supports weight loss and muscle gain.

Day 6: Quinoa Upma

For a healthy breakfast on the sixth day, try quinoa upma. In a non-stick kadai, heat oil and add mustard seeds. Once they crackle, add hing, green chili, ginger, curry leaves, raw peanuts, onions, carrots, peas, quinoa, chili powder, and salt. Saute for a minute and then add water. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes. Enjoy quinoa upma with herbal tea. Quinoa is high in protein, insoluble fiber, and healthy fats, which can speed up metabolism and keep you energized throughout the day.

Day 7: Weight Loss Idlis

On the seventh day, treat yourself to weight loss idlis. Dry roast instant oats for 2 minutes. In a pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds, curry leaves, chana dal, broken cashew nuts, onions, green chili, salt, turmeric powder, and coriander leaves. Saute for a minute and then add dry roasted oats, ragi flour, and water. Make a thick batter and steam the idlis for 10-12 minutes. Serve with cucumber chutney, sambar, or herbal tea.

These healthy and tasty breakfast recipes will help you kickstart your weight loss journey without compromising on taste. Remember to stay consistent with your eating pattern, exercise routine, and lifestyle habits to achieve your ideal weight. Start your day with a nutritious breakfast and witness the magic happening!
