If you are among those who cannot follow a diet to lose weight and get in shape, Navratri can be your reason to shed some kilos. Know what to eat and what to avoid while fasting.

Is it a same old story that you decide to be in the best shape, but give up at the sight of mouth watering food? If this is a repeated story, Navratri can be your opportunity to get in shape. The divine nine days can be your reason to plunge into the holy spirit of festivity and have healthy food.

Here are some things you can include in your diet while fasting

 Protein and fiber

It is seen that they help to lose weight to a great extent. Fruits like Pomegranate have a lot of fiber. Munching some pomegranate seeds with curd will help. With increased fiber intake make sure that you increase water intake as well.

Stay away from fried food

Navratri becomes another reason to have loads of fried potato chips and papads. But all of them are extremely high on cholesterol level. You can alter these pakodas a little bit. Add some paneer and veggies and use olive oil for frying.

Infused water with fruit juices

Instead of having just plain water, you can infuse some fruit juice and make it into mint water, cucumber water or some shakes. It is also suggested that these shakes should be curd based, instead of milk based.

Add green leafy vegetables for nutrition

You can have green vegetables in the form of a soup. Having beetroot will help you overcome iron and calcium deficiency. Salad items such as cucumber, beetroot, carrot, radish, cabbage, asparagus with lemon and mustard seeds are good for weight loss.

Dry fruits are must

Since you cut down on food, energy supply may become less. To overcome this, one should consume dry fruits like almonds, walnuts, dates, figs that will keep you charged up throughout the day. With dry fruits, one must avoid cashewnuts as they have high cholesterol value.

Following these tips, you can enjoy the holy nine days and get yourself in shape.
