Diet!!


        

         I know I should loose some extra pounds. In order to loose some weight, I need to follow a strict and healthy diet but it's not easy to maintain a healthy diet when I am staying in a dormitory. When I was at home, I follow some healthy diet by eating self made wheat bread which is called 'roti'  in India. I eat minimum amount of meat and eat loads of green vegetables and fresh salad. My fresh salad includes cabbage, cucumber, onion, carrot, coriander, lemon juice, some salt and sugar. I don't use mayonnaise in my salad because mayonnaise is fattening. At home I cut down on my intake of rice because eating rice can make people fat and so I eat roti for breakfast, lunch and dinner. At times I would eat noodles instead of rice because noodles contains less carbohydrates. People get fed up eating roti everyday, but I don't. Instead I like roti more than the bread available in the market. My self made roti is free from preservatives and does not include baking powder.

             After I came to Taiwan I didn't get to eat roti because I don't have a kitchen where I can cook for myself everyday. So everyday we have to eat at the food stall or small restaurants. I know eating outside is not as healthy as cooking it myself. I really miss cooking. How I wish I have a kitchen of my own! In that way, I can eat healthy and stay fit and loose some extra pounds.
