Mouth breathing
When you breathe through your mouth subconsciously, it puts constant pressure on your jaw because your tongue rests on the floor of your mouth instead of the roof (which happens during nose breathing). This can create a wider, broader look and distort your usual facial anatomy.
Non-veg foods to eat:
- Grilled chicken breast (at least 250-300 grams for satiety)
- Eggs (preferably whites, but half yolks are acceptable)
- Salmon or tuna (rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help with skin turgidity and overall skin health, making skin tighter)
- Avoid meats in curries, as they might contain high sodium and oil content. Prefer grilled meats during your transformation period.
Vegetarian foods to eat:
- Substitute refined maida or regular wheat with grains like quinoa, buckwheat, jawar, and millets.
- Cut out dairy completely
- Incorporate high-fibre foods like spinach, kale, beetroot, berries, and apples; these keep you fuller for longer and help avoid unnecessary snacking.
- Include lean proteins such as low-fat paneer, tofu, moong dal, seitan, and boiled chickpeas.
- Load up on salads and use light, healthy salad dressings.
- Avoid artificial sugar for at least 3 months!
Hard foods to eat:
Foods that are harder to chew and take longer to eat:
- Raw cucumber
- Raw carrots
- Raw coconut
- Raw celery
- Corn on the cob
- Nuts: almonds, pistachios, walnuts
- Sugar-free chewing gum (in moderation; can sometimes help)
Detox juice recipe:
- One slice of petha (winter squash)
- 1 tsp turmeric (haldi)
- Juice of half a cucumber
- One twig of meetha neem (curry leaves)
Note: This juice is a “superfood” add-on to an already consistent, clean diet combined with regular exercise, which should include moderate cardio and at least occasional weight or resistance training.
