But when it comes to weight loss , the first thing we do is reduce or completely eliminate the intake of these two main staples. The reason being they are loaded with carbohydrates. South Mumbai based Consultant Nutritionist Niti Desai says that the Indian diet is extremely rich in carbohydrates and low in protein. And for weight loss, it is important to increase the intake of protein. It is surely necessary to eat low-carb food when trying to lose weight, but it is not compulsory to give up on these two staples. All you need to do is to be a little mindful while having your meal.Roti aka chapati is not all about carbs. It also contains various micro-nutrients, protein and fiber, which is necessary for our body. A 6-inch chapati contains around 15 grams of carbs, 3 grams of protein, 0.4 grams of fat and 71 calories.A 1/3 serving of rice contains 80 calories, 1 gram of protein, 0.1 gram of fat and 18 grams of carbohydrate.Both rice and chapatis contain folate- a water-soluble vitamin B that is required to build DNA and form new cells. Both of them contain the same amount of iron, but rice contains less amount of phosphorus and magnesium as compared to chapatis. Phosphorus is important for kidney and helps to repair cells, iron is needed for forming red blood cells and magnesium regulates blood pressure and sugar level.Nutritionist Desai says that between rice and chapati if you have to choose one, always opt for chapatis. “If I have to choose between the two, I will have chapatis. But these days there is a trend of gluten-free diet and people switch to rice from chapatis. But white rice is polished rice, it contains fewer nutrients and acts like sugar in the body. Try to have brown rice if you wish to have rice and ensure that you have it in moderation,” she adds.As per dietary guidelines, carbs provide around 45 to 65 percent of your daily calorie intake. If you are on a 2000-calorie diet, you should aim for 225 to 325 grams of carbs every day. But if you are aiming for faster weight loss, aim to eat only 50 to 150 grams of carbs every day.If you cover your plate with rice, you will be consuming 440 calories worth in one meal. The nutritionist advises portion control for weight loss. “You should have two chapatis and half a bowl of rice for lunch. Fill the rest of your plate with veggies. Furthermore, have a light dinner and avoid rice at night. You can have one stuffed parantha with little oil or ghee, but make sure that the parantha is nicely stuffed. You can also have chilla for dinner."You can limit the intake of chapati and rice, but you cannot deny the fact they are rich in carbohydrate content. In such a case, replacing your normal wheat chapati with chapati made of high fiber grain like millet, jawar, and buckwheat is a great way to limit your carbs. "These should be preferred over wheat roti and rice. They have a low-glycemic index and are high in fiber content. They do not spike the blood sugar level in your body quickly and make you feel full for a longer period of time.”

Our bodies can burn calories in several ways: basal metabolic rate (BMR), physical activity and digestion. Drinking cold water rather than warm is not one of them. Or, at least cold water doesn’t burn enough calories to be worthy of mentioning. “If your goal is weight loss and burning more calories, I wouldn’t spend time on the temperature of the water, but rather on reducing calories by snacking on fruits instead of cookies,” UAMS Outpatient Dietitian Andrea Tappe says. Drinking a glass of ice water rather than a glass of water at room temperature only burns about eight calories. Your basal metabolic rate, which keeps your organs functioning, burns about 70% of your calories. Physical activity adds about 20% and digestion about 10%. The idea that drinking cold water must burn more calories developed from the belief that our bodies expend energy to warm up. It is true that your body will work to raise its temperature to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, but it will only expend about eight calories to do this. Eight calories is the equivalent of a small pickle. How much water should we drink daily? Tappe says that men should take in about 15 cups and women should take in about 11 cups. “This may seem like a challenge, but remember it includes water from all beverages, even caffeinated.” Are you ready to get healthy? Come see a UAMS primary care provider and get started on the right path. We will provide expert medical guidance for starting and maintaining a healthier lifestyle so that the temperature of your water is the last thing you’ll need to worry about!
