This makes it very hard to maintain any sort of healthy diet. No, we are not giving you tips on how to stay away from good food \u2013 you can have your\u00a0<em>mithai, chakli\u00a0<\/em>and more and without guilt too! Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n<p>Use natural sweeteners like dates, jaggery, or figs in sweets instead of sugar or artificial sweeteners.<\/p>\n<p>The best time to eat sweets is either on an empty stomach or after a heavy workout. This is because when your body is low on calories, it does not convert the carbohydrates into fat, but uses it up for other functions.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bake Your Savouries Instead Of Frying Them:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you thought you could shop guilt-free for your Diwali savouries in the low-fat variety, you\u2019re wrong. Those attractive packets of diet\u00a0<em>chakl<\/em>i, diet\u00a0<em>chivda or farsan can be\u00a0<\/em>deceptive. And despite what they claim, most packaged food items contain trans-fats which can be very dangerous for our cholesterol levels and hence our weight and heart health. Make your savouries at home. And opt to bake instead of frying them to cut down on fat.<\/p>\n<p>Be a health-conscious host this Diwali. Serve snacks like\u00a0<em>dhokla,<\/em>\u00a0unsalted dry fruits, sprout-chaat, fruit salad,\u00a0<em>idlis<\/em>, baked\u00a0<em>chaklis<\/em>\u00a0etc. Avoid hoarding up on soft drinks or artificial juice. Serve\u00a0<em>nimbu-paani, jal jeera, chaas<\/em>\u00a0etc. You could try out our recipe for\u00a0<strong><u>JAL-JEERA.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your guests will surely love it!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Other tips for a guilt-free Diwali:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Before going to visit friends and family, eat at home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This will ensure you won\u2019t end up binging outside. Everyone struggles with loads of\u00a0<em>mithai<\/em>\u00a0and chocolates at home post-Diwali. Instead of eating them yourself so that you don\u2019t waste them, distribute them to people who are not fortunate enough.<\/p>\n<p>Just because it\u2019s the festive season doesn\u2019t mean that you binge.
