1200 Calorie North Indian Diet Plan for Diabetes
By Aparupa Saikia / March 16, 2011

How about the idea of biting into a Chicken Tangri kebab with a glass of whiskey? You would definitely feel like Bollywood's "Papaji", Dharmendra! But the star maintains a fitness level. Do you do the same? Or you just indulge on a high-calorie North Indian diet with "puris", "kachoris", "Parathas", "Kulchas", "bhaturas", "dal makhani", kebabs and "Biryanis" without the provision of any form of physical exercises. Being a "Jatt Yamla Pagla Deewana" would require commitments from your side and you would need to control your calorie intake as well! It might seem to be very difficult with North Indian foods because the foods are very high in calories. And you would not possibly opt to sacrifice some of the major ingredients like ghee and butter!

But you might have to switch to low-calorie North Indian food preparations if you are diagnosed with Diabetes. Your health would ask you to do so! But what about satisfying your taste buds? Here is a sample diet plan as per the North Indian Cuisine which would allow you to limit your intake to 1200 calories a day: Food Item Early Morning Fenugreek seeds with 1 cup of water Tea (without sugar) Marie biscuits Breakfast Stuffed gobhi paratha Curd OR Egg bhurji Plain paratha Mid-Morning Apple Lunch Chapati Capsicum veg Dal Salad Evening Milk Roasted Chana Dinner Chapati Lauki veg Curd 2 1 medium bowl 50 g 170 75 30 6 2 3.1 1 cup 1 small bowl 35 85 4 6 2 1 medium bowl 1 medium bowl 1 medium bowl 170 67.5 130 30 6 1.5 6 2 1 40 1 medium bowl 1 130 130 6 3 2 small 50 g 272 30 7 1.5 1 cup 2 35 56 4 Amount Calories (kcal) Protein (g)
