Why I Eat This Way
There are so many diet fads out there and conflicting rules, I’ve discovered something basic: simplicity is best. Balanced eating keeps me energized, sleeps better, and has a healthy weight without starving or tracking every calorie.
If you need a simple and sustainable meal regime, read on.
🌞Morning Detox – Clean Start (6:30–7:00 AM)
🧪Drink:
Optional: 1 tsp raw honey or ACV (apple cider vinegar)
1 glass warm water
Juice of half a lemon
1 tsp soaked chia seeds
💚Benefits:
Activates digestion
Flushes out toxins
Keeps you full longer
Supports skin and gut health
💡Pro Tip: In case mornings are busy, soak chia seeds overnight.
🍓Breakfast – Energy That Lasts (8:00 AM)
🥣Meal:
Rolled oats cooked with almond milk
Topped with: sliced banana, berries, chia seeds, and honey
Drink: Herbal tea (peppermint or moringa)
🧠Why it works:
Oats = complex carbs = stable energy
Berries = antioxidants
Chia = fiber + omega-3s
Moringa = immunity boost
💬Sometimes I mix in 1 tsp of Moringa Powder with my tea or smoothie. Check out my go-to one here (Moringa Powder)
🥜Mid-Morning Snack – Light Fuel (11:00 AM)
🥤Option 1: Green smoothie
Spinach, banana, almond milk, flaxseed
🥜Option 2:
A serving of almonds or walnuts
1 boiled egg if I require more protein
🌟Health Tip
This snack suppresses hunger but doesn’t cause a spike in your blood sugar. Nuts provide healthy fats, and green smoothies are fiber- and vitamin-rich.
🍽️Lunch – Balanced & Satisfying (1:00 PM)
🥗Meal:
Grilled chicken (or tofu/paneer)
Mixed greens (lettuce, cucumber, carrots)
Brown rice or quinoa (1/2 cup)
Dressing: olive oil, lemon, black pepper
⚖️ Why it’s great:
Protein builds and repairs cells
Leafy greens clean your gut
Healthy carbs = sustained energy
Olive oil supports brain and heart
☕ Evening Detox – Light Reset (5:00 PM)
🍵Drink:
Herbal tea (chamomile, fennel, or tulsi)
With lemon or mint
🥒Snack:
Sliced cucumber or carrot sticks
Sometimes I have 1 date or 1 fig for natural sugar
💤 Benefits:
Lessens bloating
Assists with anxiety & sleep
Suppresses late-night hunger
🍲Dinner – Light & Digestive (7:00–8:00 PM)
🍛Meal Options:
Vegetable soup (with lentils, carrots, peas, garlic)
OR sautéed vegetables with olive oil and herbs
Sometimes, 1 roti of multigrain flour
I do not eat rice or heavy carbs in the evening.
Add ginger or turmeric for anti-inflammatory purposes.
