How To Get Better Hair, Skin And Lose Weight With No Diet

0:00 puja you're so enterprising you spoke about nourish before anyone has and um you're wearing the hat of a mom of an author as an entrepreneur and today we're gonna talk to you about what you eat in a day and um you know a larger concept of nourish which is more than just losing weight so what do you eat in a day what do i eat in a day i eat i eat a lot in the day

0:26 i eat from the minute i open my eyes and i eat one hour till i close my eyes so as i open my eyes i eat ten almonds and two walnuts or two halves of a walnut because the concept is you have to eat within the first hour of rising so i always do that so this happens while my kids are going to school so in that in that one hour buffer while i'm getting them ready my this bit of eating the

0:48 nuts is already in my tongue uh after that it's breakfast which is about 9 9 30 where i have about three to four egg whites sometimes or every a couple of times a week i'll have the yolk as well with one piece of bread that's a breakfast then once i get to clinic i have a cup of coffee about an hour later an hour after that i have two fruits it could be any two fruits so it's about

1:13 200 grams over fruit which i eat while i'm consulting with clients two hours after that i have two tablespoons of flax seeds and also seeds and till seeds all mixed i have a jar because i'm still in consulting at about one o'clock so then ah i'll have that at about one o'clock then about two to thirty i have lunch which is a bowl of rice a bowl of dal a bowl of sea and a little bit of

1:40 kimchi or any pickled homemade pickle that i make it's usually a fermented vegetable like a sauerkraut so it's very good for your probiotics so i like that it's like an achar but it's not oil-based so it adds the tangy taste it could be chilies or just onions and carrots in a pickled form but not an oily base more of vinegar based so i'll have that that's lunch post lunch at about five o'clock i have a glass of vegetable juice which is a

2:07 mandate all my life it's three colors of vegetables in a glass of juice so that's at five o'clock at about seven i have a couple of nourishables with either a cooked dip or a hummus any hunger dip which is always always a dip in my house my girls eat dinner by about 7 30 but my husband's back home seriously they're about nine which could be it's usually uh non-vegetarian fish or chicken with either couscous or quinoa and a salad so

2:36 there's always going to be a salad there's always going to be some grilled chicken or fish and there's always going to be some carbs which could be either a piece of bread or it could be couscous or it could be rice or anything yeah and that's not all i'm not done here that's a lot of fun so at nine o'clock i do that at 11 o'clock i'm still awake most often because i sleep by 12. so i'm still

3:00 awake at 11 and i will have if nothing else again two to three almonds or just some nourishables or something because i cannot sleep if i'm hungry and then i sleep at 12 00 midnight that's a lot of food yeah that was quite elaborate uh what's that one evil um food that you should eliminate sugar sugar is one evil white sugar refined sugar which you add to tea coffees i'm having water by the way but

3:32 which you add to tea coffees or you add to desserts because you don't need sugar in any form uh all the food you eat in your body is converted to sugar so that's one evil that i would ask everyone to eliminate and what does your cheat day look like that's my cheat day that i just told you about i don't believe in cheat days i believe in eating right so i so a cheat would be i might eat out so it's not cooked at

3:56 home so the oil factor is not as good as it should be that's called a cheat but i don't believe in any other cheat days i eat carbs every day so i don't need to cheat i eat food every day i don't need to cheat i eat fruit every day i don't need to cheat i eat a chuckle when i want to so i don't need to treat so i don't believe in cheat days when i deserve to eat

4:14 or i feel like eating a cake or a pastry or a muffin or actually i don't need any of those but my cheesecake is my is my is my hot favorite dessert so when i want to i eat i eat a cheesecake and i don't think that's called a cheat day i think i earn it i work uh hard enough to delete the calories i eat nutritious moisture all the time so i'm allowed that so i don't

4:39 believe in the cheese and what's that one mistake that everybody makes when they're thinking about weight loss they believe in a cheat day they believe that they can take 10 steps forward every monday to friday and then saturday do undo all the good that they've done so that's the one mistake i think everyone makes while they're trying to lose weight is that they feel that they can be foster uh for seven days or six days of the

5:02 week and then go sin uh the seventh day but that's that's just doing undoing everything that you did initially so i think that's the biggest mistake you could make and you mentioned that there's nothing called a quick fix correct because weight loss has to be fat loss and fat loss is an everyday process you can't be good lose the fat eat wrong gain the fat and that's why it's really important to make fun food because then it's sustainable

5:26 and you have to make peace with food here food food can be tasty i'm not saying my food is not your food has to be a fuel it has to sustain you that's what it has to be yes there should be taste in it it doesn't have to be dull and boring but uh we attach too much emotions and too much uh affection to yummy food what is your fuel the minute you get the connect here life becomes

5:47 easier yeah that actually makes a lot of sense and that's the mistake that parents make with kids as well right so um they think that food only has to be tasty with cheese and pasta their kids are only going to love that of course kids are going to love that but they have to be taught that the majority of the day they have to eat right yeah but people are always motivated in the beginning but when they plateau that's

6:07 when the struggle is uh they plateau because they do cheat days darling okay why would you plateau if your car was beautifully rolling if you were eating losing fat losing fat improving metabolic rate your car never has to get stuck till you want it to stop but what tends to happen is that when you do cheat days you roll the car you roll it back you roll the calm you roll it back your body gets so used to that it

6:30 flattens and what does nourish mean if i want good hair if you want good hair you want good protein you need good vitamins you need good selenium you need good biotin which means you need to eat dal roti it's just as simple as that so you know what people make nutrition rocket science it's not rocket science it's very basic and if you learn to keep the fundas basic so for if you need proteins for your hair all you need to do is eat

6:54 dal so how difficult is that so if you want uh vitamins for your skin you need to just put some vegetables in the dal for your skin that's it and even for good sleep you need food for good sleep the minute you take away carbs you take away sleep so if you so what you need to eat for good sleep is daal duty subsidy you just have to go back to basics you need to go back to the indian thali like we used to

7:14 eat before go back to how our ancestors eat and that there lies the answers you don't need nutrition gimmicks super foods uh kale from here and that from there you need to go back to basics eat everything eat in the right portion size that's it you always speak about punch five what is that all about uh that's the five fingers of nutrition it's not it's primarily the punch you punch the health problems with you teach the children how to pack a fist it's the

7:43 five fingers of nutrition so it's carbs proteins fats vitamins and minerals and you pack a punch at each meal so you punch away every heart's problem with eating large amounts when it comes to like diets like intermittent fasting keto paleo plant-based diets like everyone's like there is so much fat yeah so do you have anything to say about that to all of it i have the simplest trick in the book which one is the best one

8:11 the one you can start the one you can follow and the one you can sustain if that happens to be keto or intermittent or paleo go ahead and do it but if it's something you're going to do till you lose that weight or till you go for that wedding or till you get to do that reunion then it's a short cut and it will lead you back to a dead end so a fad is something you stop which is why

8:32 it's called a fat so if you won't stop it it's called the lifestyle and then every plan which is a lifestyle is a great plan so i'm not gonna badmouth any diet for me a diet is one which can be sustained as a lifestyle so whichever one that may be for you that it is anything that's a must in your child's double so i like i said packing a fist is always one of the best ways to do it so so as

8:55 long as you're getting carbs proteins fats vitamins and minerals into the dipper that's the best way so idli sambar coconut chutney and there are some veggies in the sambar so you back to fish so you can pack a fist with the egg sandwich you can breakfast with dal chow and something you can pack so you can pack a fish with a quinoa cutlet for example so you can do you can pack a fist and then that becomes an essential

9:16 for a chicken for children and also like five vegetarian protein sources for kids so of course there are dals and pulses in sprouts do them in different forms so all legumes are your plant protein sources milk and milk products are your plant uh plant-based protein sources um soya bean and soybean products are vegetarian sources quinoa is a carb with better quality protein amaranth is a carb with better quality protein but yes it is and of course

9:47 extracts from peas and brown rice could be vegetarian sources of protein
