Its Diwali and all we are busy doing is eating sweets day in and out. Have you ever thought about the amount of calories you are consuming as a result of reckless eating?!
Lack of awareness about foods & the calories they carry is the main culprit that adds kilos and inches around your waist. Knowing what you are eating and how it can contribute to becoming overweight can certainly make you a wise eater.
We all need to know that 1 teaspoon of whole sugar weighs 4 grams, and gives you 16 kilocalories of energy and 2 grams of carbohydrate. One piece of kaju katli gives you 120 kilocalories equivalent to quarter of single meals energy. Shocking, isn’t it?
