A sustainable diet pattern would mean to eat in moderation as opposed to depriving yourself of food you enjoy. Tap to see how to control your portions.

SMALL PLATES & CUTLERY

Use smaller serving plates and bowls when eating your meals since this visual trick is known to make your portions look more substantial while still reducing the actual amount of food you consume.

EAT MORE ACCOMPANIMENTS

Before you dig into your plate of rice, rotis or parathas, make sure to eat a portion of vegetables, chicken or plant-based protein.

MEASURE YOUR FOOD

Measuring what you eat helps you become more aware of appropriate serving sizes and over-serving yourself.

PROTEIN & GOOD FATS

Start your day with a healthy serving of eggs, avocado, black chana and moong sprouts to eat with your toast or paratha.

SWAP MACRO RATIOS

If you’re looking to get fitter, achieve a flatter stomach or avoid feeling lethargic, swap your carbohydrate quantity for more proteins like seafood or dairy products like paneer or dahi.

RECOGNUZE VISUAL CUES

Understanding visual cues can help you estimate portion sizes when you don't have measuring tools available.
