Low-Calorie Dishes: Pre-Wedding Weight Loss Diet

Count calories before your wedding, and make your wedding day your cheat day!

Who does not want to look good at their wedding? But people who want to lose weight by any means might not be approaching it the right way.

The weight loss process can be complex when there is no direction. People often go to all lengths to lose weight but still feel disappointed because, most of the time, the goal remains to lose weight and staying healthy is not even considered.

A wedding brings a lot of calories; exchanging sweets and eateries is a regular thing. But if you are determined to lose weight so you can look the way you envisioned yourself in the wedding attire, a slight lifestyle change is all you require.

The major part of weight loss is what type of food you consume and how many calories you intake in a day. It also depends on your wish to stay healthy through the process.

With the right mindset and low-carb diet, you can reach your goal and be your best version at your wedding. 

We have several delicious recipes with which you can replace your meals and help you follow better weight-loss diets.

Let us first enlighten you with the foods which consist of low-calories.

Low-Calorie Ingredients 

Before proceeding with recipes, you must understand what foods can be good supplements for low calories.

Various green vegetables come into existence when we talk about low-calorie consumption, which includes broccoli, spinach, pumpkin, cabbage, gourd vegetables, cauliflower, red and green peppers, and so on.

Chicken, tofu, beans, paneer and eggs should take up a quarter of your plate, as they are full of protein and helps in muscle gain and plays a vital role in weight loss simultaneously. 

Sweet Potato, wheat, brown rice, jowar, bajra, ragi, oats, quinoa and other grains are rich in healthy carbohydrates and should cover a quarter of your plate.

Further, moving on to the meals that can make you lose weight in healthier and more nutritious ways.

Delicious Pre-Wedding Low-Calorie Dishes For Weight Loss

Indian cuisine has a plethora of low-calorie meals that are flavorful and full of nourishment. These underwritten hand-picked recipes will keep you full and not add up to the weight gain at the same time.

1. Oats Idli

Coming from the south of India, Idli has always been our favourite. It is the most popular dish in South India and one of the healthiest dishes to munch.

To make it even lower in calories, we can opt for oats and semolina batter instead of rice batter. It is rich in fibre and prepared by steaming with no oil content. Siding it with coconut chutney or other low-calorie sides can make it more flavourful. 

Oats Idli is the best breakfast meal to keep you full and satisfy your hunger for a long time. 

2. Ragi Dosa

Again, dosa is South India's star and the most delicious meal of all time!

The more nutritious alternative to dosa is ragi dosa which offers a burst of flavour and a low-calorie package.

This mouth-watering delicacy needs a slight variation when we talk about low-calorie food consumption. An amino acid in ragi known as tryptophan curbs the appetite and keeps your stomach full. Unlike the traditional dishes, this recipe requires a mixed batter of ragi, rice flour, flavourful yoghurt, spices and water. This dish is best to eat for its health benefits.

3. Vegan Mushroom Masala

Vegan mushroom masala is best to have when you long for comfort yet healthy food. With the inclusion of only 126 calories, vegan mushroom masala makes a great and flavourful meal.

The savoury ingredients like tender mushroom chunks, onions, tomatoes, aromatic spices and herbs give the dish the desirable tangy curry flavour and make it a simple yet flavour-packed unique vegan dish.

Adding it to your meal will satisfy your tastebuds and fill your stomach well. 

4. Coconut Shrimp Curry

This creamy yet light coconut curry dish is again drool-worthy and best to have when counting calories.

The coconut adds a rich nutty flavour to the curry and doubles the flavour. Adding shrimp gives the curry a subtle flavour and enhances its taste to the next level. 

With only 200 calories per serving, this makes an outstanding healthy dish when you want to eat a healthy yet savoury meal. 

5. Tandoori Cauliflower

As tasty as tandoor grilled dishes sound, they have an unbeatable flavour.

With no containment of unhealthy and unnecessary pesky saturated fats, the tandoori cauliflower dish is a great dish to have on your plate.

The crunchy cauliflower chunks grilled in spices with other vegetables stand out and make this dish the best in vegetarian delights.
