Indian homes have one common evening question, “Aaj dinner mein kya banega?” And most days, the answer is either the same dal-roti… or last-minute ordering because we’re too tired to cook.
After gaining weight during pregnancy and losing 25 kgs in 6 months through healthy eating and consistent workouts, I understood one important truth, dinner is the most underrated meal for fat loss and metabolism.
At night, our activity drops and the body shifts towards repair mode. If dinner is too heavy, oily, or late, it can slow digestion, cause bloating, disturb sleep, and gradually increase weight.
But healthy dinner does not mean boring food or extreme dieting.
