Weight-loss Soup
Ayurveda recommends both lauki ( bottle gourd )and horse gram for weight-loss.  I have personally replaced my dinner with light yet nourishing soup. Ingredients: 1 cup lauki (bottle gourd) (chopped) 2 tbsp pres-soaked horse gram ( soaked over night ) 1/2 cup onion ( chopped ) 1 1/2 cup tomato (chopped ) 1 tsp garlic (chopped) 1 tsp ginger ( chopped) 2 tsp coriander leaves (dhania patta)…

HOW I’VE BEEN SUCESSFULLY LOSING WEIGHT: Notes from a former binge eater ♥️
*this guide is to show how ~I~ do things and offer advice on how to do it MY way. I am in no way encouraging anyone to do themselves harm. First off,
HEALTH IS WEALTH.
That being said.. this is literally the longest I’ve ever gone without bingeing. It’s just,,, easy this time. Once you get a feel of what it’s like to be skinny you just don’t crave junk as much anymore bc you KNOW it’s not worth it. The trick is to eat clean 90% of the time and allow your favorite treats 10% do the time. Fit them into your calorie limit!!! Here’s some personal favorites that have helped me lose like 20lbs in the past 2 months.
I tend to do one higher- calorie drink during the day (protein shake, Starbucks, etc) and one healthy filling but low cal meal and a sweet snack at the end of the night.
LOW CALORIE 90%
Mediterranean salad (~150): mixed greens, chopped bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, red onion. Little bit of feta cheese. Balsamic vinegar (not dressing or vinegarette!!!!) I don’t add meat but you could totally add chicken for low cal high protein choice. You could also add olives but I don’t fw them.
Chocolate Protein shakes from the gas station (loll). They’re 220 cal on average and a great treat. Strawberry one is good too.
SEAWEED SNACKS they’re literally 30-60 calories for a pack and kill my urge to eat chips!!! Please give them a try!
Soups. Soups that are already portioned and have the calorie amount posted. I add extra seasonings and spice to boost metabolism.
Coffee!! With almond milk and a little coffee creamer. It’s worth the calories if you want a coffee just make one it’s better than going to Starbucks.
Sushi: I’m vegetarian so I get an avocado and cucumber roll. It’s so good with fresh ginger and a little soy sauce. Sometimes I will be craving it allllllll day and have it as my OMAD so rewarding 🥹
Miso soup>>>>>> add tofu and seaweed and onions!! And mushrooms if you like them.
Monster Ultra energy drinks,,,, yeah I know they’re bad for you but I love them.
Fruits!!! I especially love strawberries, watermelon, cherries, blackberries, pineapple and mangoes.
TREATS 10%
Trail mix: dried cherries, pecans, walnuts, pistachios, cashews. High in calories but perfect for killing hunger. High protein keeps you full and muscles strong, high healthy fats will keep your hair and skin and nails beautiful.
Chocolates: SMALL PORTIONS. if you can’t eat just eat a piece without bingeing, do NOT buy a big bag. what I do is I buy a bar of whatever chocolate I’m craving for my bf and we share it piece by piece. Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white, hazelnut, with coffee beans, with toffee, fruits, chocolate is the best thing ever 🍫
Starbucks! My fav drinks are matcha lattes (hot/iced), iced white chocolate mocha, caramel macchiato, and occasionally a pumpkin spice latte. Peppermint mochas on the holidays. Oat milk always
Baked goods. Same deal as the chocolate, ONLY BUY THE PORTION YOURE GOING TO EAT. If you have been craving a croissant, go get one. One. Don’t buy a whole dozen of them. You will end up bingeing trust me. My favs are cinnamon rolls <3
Habits
I’m going to the gym!!! Consistently for the first time in my life. It doesn’t have to be anything crazy. Spend 30 min on the treadmill alternating between incline walking and easy paced jogging. Put on a YouTube video. Wear pink and bring a cute water bottle. You have to make an experience out of it! I stick to cardio and full body stretches plus ocasional (light) strength workouts w my bf.
I don’t drink anymore. Just 🍃. Alc is so high in sugar and carbs and it’s literally poison bro. I know it’s hard to stop but once you do you’ll feel so much better.
I rarely weigh myself. I’m at my bfs house all the time so I only step on my scale maybe 3 times a month. It’s been a game changer!!!
MINDSET
I practice mindfulness and speak kindly to myself. Basically sweetspo + affirmations to myself all the time.
Taking more pride in your appearance will also help motivate you. You think you’ll still want to binge after you took a full body shower, clean PJ’s or outfit, painted your nails, skincare and makeup done, whitened your teeth and lit a candle? No thanks.
Limit stupid, negative, useless media consumption. Watch things that have to do with your hobbies/ interests and your social media algorithms begin to kinda clean themselves up over time. My pages are all about exercise, study blogs, beauty tips and sciencey stuff. No more drama or celebrity nonsense. Cut down your following!!
Remember you only have one life on earth. You’re young and hot once. Don’t you want to grab this chance while you have it? Unfortunately your beauty is your currency especially as a woman, so if there’s anything I can do to give myself a better life I will. Losing just a few pounds of fat will make the craziest difference in ways you’d never expect. Free and discounted stuff. More people smile at you and listen to what you have to say. Both literal and figurative doors will be opened for you.Clothes fit better bc they’re more flattering when your body is fit and healthy. While it feels good to get validation from other people, the best part of it is looking in the mirror and feeling proud instead of ashamed. The inner confidence that comes from successful transformation………….there’s no other feeling that compares. If you know, you know. I’m just saying,, the choice is yours 🤷🏼‍♀️

Tom Kha Gai!
Here's a post about how to make Tom Kha Gai, the best soup on planet earth! Tom Kha is a Thai soup with a creamy coconut milk base, the rich and sharp flavor of Thai ginger (galangal), lemongrass, lime, mushrooms, tomato, and cilantro.
When made with chicken (as below), it's called Tom Kha Gai, but it can easily be made with various other forms of protein and slightly tweaked to be made vegetarian if you wish.
Tumblr media
[ID: a photo of tom kha gai, a white soup with mushrooms, red chillies, and cilantro. /end ID]
What you'll need—
Galangal (a good hunk)
Lemongrass (1-2 stalks)
Coconut milk (1 can)
Chicken broth (1 can)
Kaffir lime leaves (handfull)
Thai chillies (handfull)
Shallot (2 medium/4 small), or onion
Tomato (1 medium, or equivalent amount of cherry tomatoes)
Lime (1, or less if you want less of a tang)
Mushrooms, any kind (about a cup, or more if your mushroom whimsy calls you)
Chicken (~1 lb)
Fish sauce (2 tbsp)
Palm sugar (1 tsp), or brown sugar
Cilantro (hanfull)
Green onion (handfull chopped)
Ingredient notes—
Galangal: this is sometimes called "Thai ginger." Some recipes suggest substituting ginger for galangal if you can't find it. Don't! Tom Kha (tom = "to boil," kha = "galangal") is ALL about the galangal! Alternatives if you can't find it fresh: frozen (like below), or powders/pastes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[ID: a picture of galangal in a supermarket labeled "garlanga thai ginger." An image of frozen galangal in a bag. /end ID]
Lemongrass: if you can't find this near you, try a lemongrass powder or paste.
Makrut/kaffir lime leaves: these are bought dried, so they're easy to buy online if you can't find them locally.
Recipe—
Pour chicken broth into medium size pot and add the shallot. Turn heat to medium high.
Pound the lemongrass and galangal to bring out the flavor, then add to broth.
Bring to boil.
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add.
Add coconut milk, mushrooms, tomatoes, chilles, palm sugar, fish sauce, mushrooms, and lime leaves. (Everything except lime, cilantro, green onion.)
Turn the heat down and simmer ~15 minutes until chicken is cooked.
Turn off the heat, add lime juice, cilantro, and green onion. Enjoy! Serve with rice if you'd like.

Look i know your requests are closed for now. But whenever you can. Could i have fave foods,food preferences,and dislikes for mk characters?
Maybe the basic roster? Liu kang,kung lao,sonya,jax,kano,johnny cage,sub zero(s),scorpion,raiden, kitana,and shang tsung? Maybe a reptile thrown in there.
Ok this might be long but I'll try!
Mortal kombat characters and their food preferences.
Tumblr media
Liu kang:
He likes bold flavors, spices and savory dishes are his go to. He likes dry heat but not so much he can't taste anything. He also likes sweet fruits like peaches and mangoes. He likes mango flavored shaved ice
Kung lao:
He mostly eats vegetables, fresh and delicious with noodles is his go to. But he does rarely eat chicken (don't tell his white lotus masters) and on very special holidays he eats pork (again, don't tell his white lotus masters.) He adores soup dumplings and thats his favorite.
Sonya:
It might be typical, but she loves a nice juicy classic all American burger, fresh off the grill. Other than that she drinks a lot of coffee and prefers light and quick easy meals to get her through the day.
Jax:
The man is simple, he loves a good barbecue pulled pork. Anything high in protein that's also delicious. He also loves strawberry ice cream.
Kano:
Barbeque, beer, and mochi. Surprising to some, kano has a varied palette. While he can eat anything (had to at some points) he also knows whats delicious and whats mediocre at best.
Johnny cage:
The most well coordinated diet you expect from a well active celebrity. But Johnny prefers homemade and authentic food, which often he goes to any obscure family owned ethnic restaurant. His favorite is one noodle dish from a restuarant owned by a very old Chinese man who taught him how to make it, after Johnny practically begged on his knees to know.
Sub-zero/kuai liang:
Kuai is simple, rice and vegetables with beef. But his absolute favorite is ice cream, his eyes light up whenever he sees the delicious frozen treats.
Sub-zero/bi-han:
Bi-han has similar tastes to kuai. But prefers his meats to be burnt to a charcoal. Loves chocolate ice cream.
Scorpion/hanzo hasashi:
Hearty, warm, homemade dishes. Lots of fish, lots of rice. He likes spicy but prefers to be in the mood to fully enjoy it. Likes citrusy desserts.
Raiden:
He loves spice an abnormal amount. Giving him spicy chicken is the quickest way to earn his favor. He also loves milk too. Even his brother is unnerved by how much spicy food raiden can eat and not suffer tremendously, he's just built different. He likes lightly sweet desserts like marshmallows or cotton candy. Or dango.
Kitana:
Edenian dishes are as colorful as delicious and varied. Herbs and spices are used generously and most are vegetarian. Kitana's favorite is an edenian dish with an outworld goat meat marinated in a special edenian orange. Peaches do not exist in outworld but kitana loved the white peach liu kang once offered her. She longs for it's taste again.
Shang tsung:
He loves vegetables, fresh and well prepared. Noodles and broth must also be to his liking. There is one dish that will make him feel so content and at peace, it's a simple peasant dish from a long time ago in china. Shang tsung also loves fruits that are especially juicy and sweet, or tangy. Loves lychee and mango the most.
Bonus reptile/syzoth:
Saurian's diet consists of fish and special leafy greens no longer found in outworld as the plantlife went extinct (thanks shao kahn). But a similar dish is catfish and collared greens.

What food to eat when losing weight?
Tumblr media
Sustainability Matters: Crash diets or focusing on single "miracle" foods are often difficult to maintain long-term, leading to frustration and yo-yo dieting.
Focus on Whole Foods:
Build your meals around these for weight loss and overall health:
Fruits and Vegetables: Low in calories, high in fiber, and packed with essential nutrients. Aim for a rainbow of colors for a variety of vitamins and minerals.
Whole Grains: Brown rice, quinoa, whole-wheat bread/pasta provide sustained energy and fiber to keep you feeling fuller for longer.
Lean Protein: Grilled chicken, fish, beans, lentils, or tofu offer satiety and support muscle building, which helps burn more calories.
Here are some examples of meals that incorporate these principles:
Breakfast: Greek yogurt with berries and a sprinkle of granola, whole-wheat toast with scrambled eggs and spinach, oatmeal with sliced banana and nut butter.
Lunch: Tuna or chicken salad sandwich on whole-wheat bread with lettuce and tomato, lentil soup with a side salad and whole-wheat crackers, leftovers from dinner (controlled portion size).
Dinner: Baked salmon with roasted vegetables and brown rice, chicken stir-fry with mixed vegetables and brown rice, vegetarian chili with a side salad and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Healthy Snack Ideas:
Apple slices with almond butter
Carrot sticks with hummus
Handful of mixed nuts and dried fruits (unsweetened)
Cottage cheese with sliced cucumber and tomato
Plain yogurt with a sprinkle of chia seeds
Additional Tips:
Portion Control: Use smaller plates and bowls to avoid overeating.
Seasoning: Herbs and spices add flavor without extra calories.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay full and support overall health.
Limit Processed Foods: These are often high in calories, unhealthy fats, added sugars, and sodium, hindering weight loss efforts.

there's a certain kind of article on the internet that pisses me off so badly. it's written by a person with a surface-level understanding of the topic and little-to-no personal experience, who collates a few sources and then litters the information highway with yet another piece of trash
today's trash article is a discussion of bone broth.
my position on bone broth is that it has personally done a lot for my physical health, energy levels hair, skin and nails. but it matters a lot HOW i've been doing it. first, i've been cooking it myself, from organic bones, and with alcohol and certain kinds of vegetables, which increases the breakdown of the bones and release of nutrients in the water. second, I have been eating Mass Quantities, that is 1-2 bowls a day, with seaweed and other vegetable nutrients added, for almost 2 years now. the level of healing i've experienced is directly. proportional. to the amount and quality of the broth.
so it can help you. but you have to use quality ingredients, and invest time and energy into cooking it right, and you have to eat A LOT. and yes, many people don't have the time, resources and money etc, of course! so of course this can't help people who don't have the time, resources, money etc. this is not a cure all.
what makes me mad is the stupid black and white thinking the internet is prey to. like, if not everyone can benefit, then NO ONE can benefit. if vegans and vegetarians cannot benefit, then NO ONE can benefit. if poor and under-resourced people cannot benefit, then NO ONE can benefit. (the biggest of eye rolls)
and like, yes. people who don't beleive in eating animals exist. people with lack of access to resources exist. I feel a lot of compassion for both of these groups, but I can't! do anything! about their concerns! does that mean I am not supposed to share a method that CAN work for SOME people?
I myself am a former vegetarian. I've discovered that vegetarianism, combined with overwork and a lack of sleep, fucked my health right up. Do you know what I've found that fixed that? fucking bone broth. Is abandoning vegetarianism right for you??? maybe not! is bone broth right for you?? maybe not!! and that's okay!
so but, along comes this article which apparently is a gotcha about that bone broth is useless. which, if it were actually sourced from actual studies about actual bone broth, I might consider its arguments.
but you know what it actually argues?
that a) collagen supplements provide more and better collagen than bone broth, and b) you need the minerals from vegetables to make them available. Okay, but where do you think the fcuking collagen in supplements comes from? Fucking industrially produced fucking bone broth. just, y'know in giant factories, not in your kitchen, and reduced water content so it's a gell or a pill and not a soup. so what they're actually arguing is that industrially produced bone broth is better. which...okay, but that's bone broth. and it's true about the vegetables by the way, which is why you cook the fucking bones with vegetables when you make the broth, to make the bones more bioavailabile. So the recommendation here is actually: don't make bone broth yourself, take our pills and eat your salad like a good little girl.
that because proponents of bone broth tell you that glucosamine is one of the components of bone broth, and that glucosamine supplements don't work, therefore bone broth doesn't work. but we're not talking about fucking glucosamine supplements? we're talking about bone broth? which you haven't shown a study about the uselessness of?
then they're like, "okay, there's supposed to be protein and calcium in bone broth, but you can get more protein from other sources, and the calcium is actually very little, so you see, it's not very useful". you know what's very high in calcium? milk. do you know how bioavailable the calcium in milk is? Not Very! because you need magnesium to put calcium in the right places in your body. without magnesium, calcium ends up in your joints, causing stiffness and arthritic symptoms. magnesium signals calcium to go to the right places, your bones. If you cook bone broth right, with vegetables, then you have the magnesium to do the job right. but also, you have to drink a lot, on the daily. it's not like taking concentrated vitamins, it's broth, it's just soup, it's going to take greater quantities. Also the amount of daily calcium you need is not as much as milk ads have made people think.
here, all they say is they have no evidence to support that bone broth helps leaky gut syndrome. how and why does this merit its own number on their list? "Uh.....we got nothing, but we're going to make it a bullet point" okay there player
aaaaand this is the only point I agree with, because I'm also sick to fucking death of all of the claims of detoxing around. you can't detox your body. your liver does that shit. you can maintain your liver and kidney health to HELP them do that shit, but you can't eat stuff to do their job FOR them.
and so the article's grand conclusion? what they actually write is that maybe bone broth is okay, it's neutral. SO their main point is actually that bone broth is okay? Even though the tone of the article is trying to lead you to believe that it's a big scam, even though they have maybe one point that supports that?
so how is this article actually informing you in any way about the supposed failures of bone broth? all they're saying is that collagen supplements--industrially produced bone broth--is better than home-made, that glucosamine supplements are not bone broth, that bone broth doesn't have 'enough' calcium without discussing bioavailability and actual studies of the amount of calcium needed and the actual amount of bone broth required, they can't even back up their argument about gut health and they have to concede that it's still actually nutritious.
okay so that's your gotcha article.
Listen I understand that bone broth has become trendy, and i'm also sick to death of food trends that take off because they've been passed around the internet looking for the next big thing to promote. but articles like this are also fucking shady, because they're using false equivalencies and ad hominem and faint praise to do their takedown, instead of actual fucking facts and studies. it's just as lazy as all the next-food-trend promoters.
I just want the internet to actually be the accessible central repository of all human knowledge that we all think it is, is that too much to ask?

**Nutritional value of peanuts:**
Peanuts are a good source of:
* Protein: Peanuts are a good plant-based source of protein, making them a good choice for vegetarians and vegans. One ounce of peanuts contains approximately 6 grams of protein.
* Healthy fats: Peanuts contain mostly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are good for heart health. Monounsaturated fats can help to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and raise HDL (good) cholesterol levels. Polyunsaturated fats can also help to lower LDL cholesterol levels.
* Fiber: Peanuts are a good source of fiber, which can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied. Fiber can also help to improve digestion and regularity. One ounce of peanuts contains approximately 3 grams of fiber.
* Vitamins and minerals: Peanuts contain a variety of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, magnesium, potassium, and niacin. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that can help to protect cells from damage. Magnesium is important for muscle and nerve function. Potassium is important for blood pressure regulation. Niacin is important for energy metabolism and skin health.
Tumblr media
**Health benefits of peanuts:**
Peanuts have been linked to a number of health benefits, including:
* Reduced risk of heart disease: The healthy fats and antioxidants in peanuts can help to lower cholesterol levels and improve blood vessel health. A study published in the journal *Circulation* found that people who ate peanuts or peanut butter at least five times per week had a 14% lower risk of death from heart disease than those who did not eat peanuts or peanut butter.
* Improved blood sugar control: Peanuts have a low glycemic index, meaning they do not cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels. This makes them a good snack option for people with diabetes or prediabetes. A study published in the journal *Diabetes Care* found that people with type 2 diabetes who ate peanuts or peanut butter as part of a healthy diet had lower blood sugar levels and less insulin resistance than those who did not eat peanuts or peanut butter.
* Weight management: Peanuts are high in protein and fiber, both of which can help you to feel full and satisfied. This can lead to reduced calorie intake and weight loss over time. A study published in the journal *Obesity* found that people who ate peanuts or peanut butter as part of a low-calorie diet lost more weight and body fat than those who did not eat peanuts or peanut butter.
* Cancer prevention: Some research suggests that peanuts may help to protect against certain types of cancer, such as colon cancer and breast cancer. A study published in the journal *Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention* found that people who ate peanuts or peanut butter at least twice per week had a 27% lower risk of developing colon cancer than those who did not eat peanuts or peanut butter. A study published in the journal *Breast Cancer Research and Treatment* found that women who ate peanuts or peanut butter at least five times per week had a 22% lower risk of developing breast cancer than those who did not eat peanuts or peanut butter.
Tumblr media
**How to incorporate peanuts into your diet:**
Peanuts can be eaten raw, roasted, or salted. They can also be used to make peanut butter, peanut oil, and other peanut products. Peanuts can be incorporated into a variety of dishes, including salads, soups, stews, and stir-fries.

Best diet plan for weight loss for female vegetarian
A unique and effective weight loss diet plan tailored for female vegetarians takes into account their specific dietary preferences and nutritional needs. This plan focuses on balanced, nutrient-dense, and sustainable choices:
Tumblr media
1. Protein-Rich Plant Foods: Ensure an adequate intake of plant-based protein sources like tofu, tempeh, legumes (lentils, chickpeas, beans), quinoa, and edamame. Protein helps maintain muscle mass and keeps you feeling full.
2. Fiber-Packed Whole Grains: Incorporate whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, oats, and whole wheat pasta. These provide sustained energy and are high in fiber, which aids digestion and helps control appetite.
3. Abundant Vegetables: Make vegetables the foundation of your meals. They are low in calories and high in fiber and essential nutrients. Aim for a colorful variety to ensure you get a wide range of vitamins and minerals.
4. Healthy Fats: Include sources of healthy fats such as avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. These fats support satiety and overall health.
5. Dairy or Dairy Alternatives: Opt for low-fat or non-dairy alternatives like almond milk, soy yogurt, or coconut yogurt. These provide calcium and protein while keeping calories in check.
6. Snack Smart: Choose nutritious snacks like Greek yogurt, mixed nuts, sliced veggies with hummus, or a piece of fruit to curb cravings.
7. Plant-Based Proteins: Experiment with plant-based meat substitutes like tofu-based sausages or burgers, seitan, or jackfruit for variety and texture in your meals.
8. Nutrient-Dense Soups and Salads: Start meals with a soup or salad to increase fullness and reduce overall calorie intake.
9. Portion Control: Pay attention to portion sizes to avoid overeating, even when consuming healthy foods.
10. Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and support digestion. Herbal teas and infused water can add variety.
11. Mindful Eating: Practice mindful eating by savoring each bite, eating slowly, and being attentive to hunger and fullness cues.
12. Balanced Snacks: If you snack, choose balanced options like apple slices with almond butter or whole-grain crackers with cheese or hummus.
13. Meal Prep: Plan your meals and snacks in advance to make healthier choices readily available and avoid last-minute, less healthy options.
14. Regular Exercise: Combine your dietary plan with a regular exercise routine that includes both cardiovascular workouts and strength training to maximize weight loss.
15. Support and Accountability: Consider seeking support from a registered dietitian or joining a vegetarian weight loss group to stay motivated and ensure you're meeting your nutritional needs.
Remember that weight loss is a gradual process, and it's essential to prioritize overall health and well-being. Customizing this plan to your specific needs and consulting with a healthcare provider or registered dietitian is advisable for optimal results.

Edil's instant ramen adventure #6: Sapporo ichiban miso ramen
A maybe vegan/vegetarian (I'm not reading the ingredients that closely) option!
Tumblr media
These noodles didn't come with microwave instructions, so I put all the seasoning in and had it there for 6 minutes on high. I was a bit intimidated by this spice packet, the had the exact dimensions of a packet of silica gel
Tumblr media
Upon opening it I found it was, in fact, spice and not, in fact, silica gel
The small amount of spice made me worry it would be POTENT the ramen is mild! And very flavorful
Tumblr media
While the soup and the packaging look quite humble, I find myself very impressed with the taste and smell. I'll be eating these with fried eggs seasoned with garlic salt, but taste and small tests are being done separately. The texture of the noodles are as springy as desired, and the miso broth is banger, if a bit salty for my taste (this could be my fault and I should've added more water before cooking, which would likely fix the issue)
And giving the ingredients a closer look, this flavor is definitely vegetarian, (though may contain shellfish for allergen information) but I don't find myself wanting for flavor at all!
As someone who's lived with multiple vegetarians who have struggled for a good ramen option, I'm incredibly excited to tell them about this! I don't have any desire for spice with this Flavor, and can't think of the top of a specific sauce I can reccomend to go well with this for those who desire it, but it's definitely OK for those who aren't a spice fan, with or without the silica packet.
I do find myself taking the noodles out of the broth, though, just so they don't get overcooked, they are very absorbent. the flavor is still great, though I do prefer to eat out of the broth if possible.
A solid base that I think could easily be made into a proper meal with the addition of veg and protein, I'll have to give this an 8/10. It's a damn solid noodle! Personally, I might opt for the Shin chicken before this one more often than not, because a real spicy meal is rejuvenating, but I do think these are objectively better.
Available on Amazon for 1.50$ per serving, these are a good mid range noodle, that delivers solid flavor without the high price range veg packet additions (which I'm not really a fan of anyway. Its better to just add kimchi and whatever else fresh, if possible. Many of the dried additions don't cook well and taste bad) these are also pulling through in terms of affordability! The sodium content is 86% which may actually be the lowest I've seen thus far, and I'm inclined to agree with amazons 4.9/5 rating for these. While not the BEST noodle (as my scale is comparing for the best, and not individual noodle merit like the Amazon ratings) this one is damn good!

Lentils in Hindi & English
Tumblr media
Lentils are a type of legume that are commonly used as a food source. They are small, round, and typically come in a variety of colors such as brown, green, yellow, and red. Lentils are a rich source of protein, fiber, and various minerals and vitamins, making them a popular ingredient in many dishes around the world.
One of the most notable benefits of lentils is their high protein content. They are an excellent source of plant-based protein, making them a great alternative for vegetarians and vegans. They are also a good source of essential amino acids, which are important for maintaining muscle mass, repairing tissues, and supporting overall health.
In addition to protein, lentils are also a great source of dietary fiber. They are high in both soluble and insoluble fibers, which helps to promote healthy digestion and regular bowel movements. Soluble fiber can also help to lower cholesterol levels and regulate blood sugar levels.

Lentils can be used in many different dishes, such as soups, stews, curries, and salads. They can also be ground into flour and used to make bread, pasta, and other baked goods. They are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of ways, making them a great addition to any meal.
One of the most popular dishes that use lentils is dal (lentils in hindi), which is a staple in Indian cuisine. Dal is a lentil-based dish that is often cooked with spices and served with rice or bread. It can be made with different types of lentils, such as moong, masoor, chana, and toor dal, each with its unique flavor and texture.
Lentils are also a popular ingredient in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. In Egypt, lentils are used to make koshari, a dish made with lentils, pasta, and rice. In Syria, lentils are used to make mjadara, a dish made with lentils, rice, and caramelized onions. In Lebanon, lentils are used to make foul medames, a dish made with lentils, fava beans, and spices.
Overall, lentils are a nutritious and delicious food that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are a great source of protein, fiber, and various minerals and vitamins, making them a healthy addition to any diet. Whether you're looking to add more plant-based protein to your diet or simply looking for a tasty and versatile ingredient to use in your cooking, lentils are a great choice.

Feeding muscle and starving fat involves following a balanced diet that provides your body with the nutrients it needs to build and maintain muscle while reducing your body fat percentage. Here are some tips to get you started:
1. Eat a high-protein diet: Protein is essential for muscle growth and repair. Include lean sources of protein in your diet such as chicken, fish, eggs, and legumes.
2. Reduce your carb intake: Carbs are a source of energy, but excess carbs are stored as fat. Choose complex carbs such as brown rice, quinoa, and sweet potatoes, and limit your intake of refined carbs such as white bread and pasta.
3. Increase your healthy fat intake: Healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation and improve heart health. Include sources of healthy fats in your diet such as nuts, seeds, avocado, and olive oil.
4. Eat more fiber: Fiber helps you feel full and reduces your overall calorie intake. Include plenty of fiber-rich foods in your diet such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.
5. Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps your muscles function properly and aids in fat loss.
6. Combine strength training with cardio: Strength training builds muscle, while cardio helps burn fat. Incorporate both types of exercise into your routine for optimal results.
Remember that consistency is key when it comes to feeding muscle and starving fat. Stick to a healthy diet and exercise routine over time, and you will see results.
