World's best Diet for a Healthy Life
Me and Sandy were discussing last night about the diets followed in other countries... then we decided that we should know the different diets and take the positives to have a healthy lifestyle.
In India, olden days diet plan was very well designed for farmers and other workers who sweat their blood, and then have an hearty meal to compensate. So Indian cuisine is all about rice, wheat and a little bit of other cereals. But modern Indians are more into sophisticated jobs, we don't sweat much or use physical strength at work. So we need to have a healthy and a lightweight diet. And on top of that we are trying to follow US diet to match with their work culture... burgers and cheese all the time!! I'm not complaining about US diet, but we tend to take only the negatives.. we don't eat fresh salads like them. So when I did a bit of research on the net... countries with healthy diets have a lower obesity rate and longer life expectancy (Shocking to see 68.8% of American adults are overweight or obese).

What most of the healthy country diets had in common are the low-fat products like fish, lean protein, vegetables, fruits and beans. They included very small amounts of red meat, as they are the reasons for many modern health issues. Mediterranean Diet is considered to be the best of all and healthy amongst the others!!  So let's see what is it that makes it the best...

Eat street #1

6/24/2013

We love street eats anytime and anywhere!!
Be it roadside pani puri, masal puri (Chat items), kothu parota, hot jalebi and samosa, pav bhaji, ice creams, momos, shawarma, kathi rolls... the list is never ending!! Beside the fact that they are not served hygienically, nothing can beat it's taste and flavor!! Recently me and my hubby have become addicts to the "Eat Street" show on Fox Traveller... You must see it if you are a foodie or not!! You'll become a food lover like me :P They enjoy eating on the streets like nothing in this world. So I thought why not put down my favorite street eats in my journal, so that others can also get tempted like me :P
This week's Eat Street Special:
Chicken Shawarma Roll
Location: outside Punjabi Kitchen - Whitefield
Cost: Rs.50 per roll
Our recently discovered street eat is this Shawarma roll, made and served outside" a small hotel called "Punjabi Kitchen"in Whitefield area. The hotel actually looks bad, but this guy who has his shawarma station outside makes really yummy and juicy chicken shawarma rolls. He easily makes around 10 rolls in 15 minutes.... super busy man and he must be passionate to make such tasty rolls everytime. Great Consistency!!

My Travel Journal on Bandipur trip
I love to wite my journal everyday, but because i dont find time to put down everything that i come across atleast i wanted to have a travel journal. It's a great way to remember each and every moment of your trip, things you saw, people you met and ofcourse about the food you had :) After reading our experience in this trip, I'm sure you would also carry your journal for your next trip!!

23rd May 2013

6:20 a.m. : Started by Car from Whitefield, Bangalore to Bandipur National Park (On the way on Mysore-Ooty Road) We had already booked the Jungle Lodges Resort a week back. It's tough to get a room over there... it's completely filled in all seasons. Actually we had tried for BR Hills, sonce it was full we ended up going to Bandipur. But it was worth it!! A perfect getaway for Bangalore people. We dint regret a moment of the trip :)

7:00 a.m. : Drive on the Nice Road was NICE :)
8.00 a.m. : First pitstop - KAMAT Lokaruchi. Awesome environment with traditionally dressed waiters and served food. Idli was served in a different way I've never seen, wrapped up in a leaf. Couldn't forget the smell and taste of the CHAI. Masal Dosa was great!!
