My Food Principles

I try to follow very simple food principles which i think contribute to health & fitness

1) Eat only upto 70% of your capacity
2) Eat only when hungry
3) Eat desserts / sweets as a separate meal
4) Drink only as much water as your system demands
5) Eat freshly cooked food as long as possible
6) Eat seasonal fruits aplenty (also mangoes)
7) Eat fruits alone on empty stomach preferably in the mornings
8) Don't eat too many varieties of foods in one meal
9) Don't just stick to wheat & rice. Also have bajra, jowar, ragi, makai, brown rice etc.
10) Milk should be had as a separate meal, not combined with other foods & without sugar, bournvita or the like
11) Avoid processed foods & sugary drinks
12) Have various mini-meals throughout the day of fruits, nuts, dry fruits, sprouts, salads
13) Eat out less
14) Eat in a happy mood
15) Eat while you eat (mono-tasking)

ps: once in a while everything is fine...........
