Weight loss is an uphill battle. It doesn’t end with you taking your workout routine seriously; it also involves maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including what you eat daily. However, eating healthy does not necessarily mean you should starve yourself; it involves tracking your calorie intake and eating more protein-rich meals.
High-protein chilla recipe
So, if you are looking for a recipe, on June 30, Aarti Sharma, a fitness content creator who lost 17 kg, shared a dish she used to eat while trying to lose weight: a high-protein chilla made with low-fat paneer and soya chunks. Sharing the steps to make the chilla in an Instagram post, Aarti confessed that if she had to restart her weight loss journey – going from 80 kg down to 63 kg – the very first meal of her day would be the ‘ultimate high-protein chilla.
According to Aarti, the dish is incredibly easy to make. She captioned the post, “Simple, filling, and loaded with protein – because consistency beats complicated recipes every single time. The easier and quicker it is to prepare, the more consistent I can remain.”
