Two years ago I had written two posts about mindfulness on my blog . One was about what mindfulness is and other exclusively about food mindfulness.
Food mindfulness suggests that one gets conscious of one's food plate - check if the ingredients are high in carbs or low in proteins , check if you are consuming more sugary foods , keep a check that your breakfast plate should me fullest and dinner plate the lightest . There's lot to be checked you know . But point is that if i keep checking all this stuff ,how do i enjoy food ?
What's the harm if my cheese is served as paneer butter masala ? Won't chole bhature mind if i have only dry chapati with moong dal ? And why these sprouts and salads feel egoistic in being on top of food mindfulness? Kya gunaah kar diya humne agar cream salad kha liya ? After all it's a salad only .
And you know my breakfast plate just does not obey the rule of it being heaviest. Instead the dinner plate gets jam packed. Actually in the hurry of running to the office I am often not able to even pick a breakfast plate and then in the office when my stomach does gudgud i shift to bread pakoras in the canteen . To kya hogya , after all it's bread only -the healthy brown bread you know - so what if it lovingly clunged on to spicy besan paste and both swimmed in hot oil to strengthen their bond ! One should always respect love . Right or not ?
Once i got a trial plan of HealthifyMe in which you can track your foods and get custom diet plans . It suggested me to have oats in the breakfast followed by an apple in midmorning snack and afterwards dal, one roti, sabji and raita in lunch . I almost followed the diet plan you know . I had just tea in breakfast followed by two samosas and sugar tea in mid morning snack . As a colleague was giving party that day , so I had dal makhani , karahi paneer and mix veg along with 2 butter naan . Oho ! how can i forget those yumilicious gulabjamun !
By God Food Mindfulness ki Aisi ki Taisi ho gyi !
