Low Fat, Low GI, Vegan meals for good health

Select Low GI, Low Fat, Vegan foods for every meal and snack.

For Lunch and Dinner: Fill 1/2 your plate with fresh cooked vegetables, 1/4 plate beans or legumes or lentils, 1/4 plate brown basmati rice and a low GI fresh fruit for dessert.

If you are having pasta (try Gluten free pasta) make sure it is cooked al dente and fill 1/3 of your plate with vegetables.

Walk at least 30-45 minutes a day for exercise and include some weight training, yoga or pilates 3 times a week.
**Walking after meals has been most beneficial for me** but walk whenever you can fit it into your daily routine.

Cilantro Chutney



2 bunches cilantro washed and chopped up in thirds
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 inch piece of ginger
1/2 inch piece of jalapeno
1 mejdool date (seed removed)
1 Tbs Sesame seeds
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp turmeric
2 Tbs unsweetened coconut flakes (optional)
4 Tbs blanched almonds
2 Tbs Olive oiln (optional) * substitute with water
*Optional: Add 2 cups of washed spinach

Place all the ingrediants in blender with the cilantro on top and blend until smooth.  I use the Vitamix and push the cilantro to blend well.

This chutney is delicious with Dosas and also as a spread for a sandwich with lettuce, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers.
