Avoiding oily food
🔹 1. Change Cooking Methods
- Prefer grilling, baking, steaming, roasting, or air-frying instead of deep-frying.
- Use non-stick pans so you need less oil.
- Blot fried food with tissue to reduce extra oil.
🔹 2. Choose Healthy Oils & Use Less
- Use oils like olive, mustard, sunflower, or rice bran in limited quantity.
- Measure oil with a teaspoon instead of pouring directly from the bottle.
- Try spray oils to lightly coat food.
🔹 3. Smarter Eating Habits
- Avoid junk foods (pakoras, samosas, chips, fried chicken, instant noodles).
- Say no to repeatedly heated oil—it becomes harmful.
- Eat salads, sprouts, fruits, steamed veggies before main meals; this reduces cravings for oily items.
- Carry healthy snacks (nuts, roasted chana, makhana) to avoid fried fast food outside.
🔹 4. Dining Out Tricks
- Order tandoori, grilled, or steamed dishes instead of fried ones.
- Ask for less oil in restaurants (many will adjust).
- Share fried starters instead of eating a full portion alone.
🔹 5. Train Your Tastebuds
- Reduce oily food slowly instead of cutting it off suddenly.
- Use herbs, spices, and lemon for flavor so you don’t miss the taste of fried food.
- Drink plenty of water—sometimes thirst feels like hunger for snacks.
✅ Extra Tip: If you eat oily food occasionally, balance it with green tea, warm water with lemon, or fiber-rich meals to reduce heaviness.
