Top Healthy Indian Breakfast Recipes for Weight Loss (30 Ideas)

If you desire to lose weight through diet then it should start with the most important meal of your day and that is breakfast.

A lot of my readers keep asking me on what to eat in breakfast to lose weight and I keep saying anything that acts as a metabolism booster is good for breakfast, which I think is hard to find.

Therefore I have compiled a list of top 30 Healthy Indian breakfast recipes for weight loss.

But wait…

Before I could give you the list here are 4 things you should keep in mind.

Your breakfast should always be heavy
Replace tea with Fruit juices, Fruits and vegetable juices can help you to shed pounds quickly.
Your afternoon meal should be 70 – 80 percent of your breakfast.
Gradually you should reduce the food intake as the day progresses.
Make sure you have the last meal before 8.00 PM (well that’s a discipline issue, you need to pick up this habit if you want to live long).

Does this sound familiar to what others are saying… well they are right, but what they are not telling you is that you need to avoid Meat and Non-Veg at all times except Egg White when on a weight loss mission.

That’s the precise reason why my list of Indian Weight loss breakfast recipes are almost like an Indian vegetarian diet chart for weight loss.

Anyways…

Enough of reasoning why you should use ghee!!

Step 2: Roll the Dough

21) Brown bread Banana sandwich

This is the simplest type of sandwich.

This sandwich consists of only 4 ingredients and is amazingly healthy and nutritious.

The benefit derived from this sandwich mostly comes from Banana, peanut butter and cinnamon.

Banana: There is a common misconception that bananas increase the weight, true it increases the weight but that increase in weight is a healthy weight gain.

Banana fights free radicals and is high on antioxidants. Consumption of one banana a day can shed a lot of weight when done over a period of time.

Banana not only helps you to lose weight but also keeps your heart healthy as it has a very contents of Potassium, Vitamin B6 and essential amino acids. Furthermore it heals the internal digestive tract and ulcers.

So better your digestive system is better would be the fat assimilating capacity.

Peanut Butter: Peanut butter is truckloads of Potassium and Proteins in it.

The potassium content in Peanut butter keeps blood pressure and heart ailments away. Yes it has high fat content but that is an unsaturated fat which is used by the body to flush out free radicals and bad cholesterol.

Peanut butter has a strong healing effect especially your colons. It cleanses the colon and heals the ulcers. Please don’t be hesitant as research shows that peanut butter is safe and excellent for your heart.

Other benefits of Peanut butter include prevention of gallstones, Reversal of type 2 diabetes, reduction of bad cholesterol and the list goes on and on.

Cinnamon: I cannot emphasize how beneficial cinnamon is.

Out of all the ingredients in this sandwich cinnamon is the single most contributing factor when it comes to weight loss.

2 Teaspoonful cinnamon in an entire day in small doses can give you an astounding results.

Not only in this sandwich but if you are serious about weight loss then you need to consider cinnamon in your daily diet.

27) Boiled egg Excluding Yolks

Next on my list is boiled egg.

Technically this is the only non-veg and a healthy breakfast item that I have included in the list of weight loss breakfast recipes.

You can definitely have 2 eggs a day provided you exclude the egg yolk. Egg white is loaded with tons of nutrients that is beneficial for your body.

To make boiled eggs you simply need a bowl of water and 2 eggs.

Boil the egg for 15 – 20 minutes and the moment egg shell starts to crack you can take the egg and let it cool.

Your boiled egg is ready.

28) Corn Flakes with Honey and Milk

This another quick weight loss recipe that you can consume once or twice a week.

This is the simplest recipe out of all the 50 fat burning recipes in this article.

To make this breakfast all you need it Corn Flakes, Honey and Milk.

You can make this recipe in two easy steps.

Step 1: Boil the skimmed milk.

Step 2: Add Corn flakes and honey mix it well and have.

For the flavor you can use cinnamon powder when boiling the milk.

Note: Don’t add sugar in this as it will spoil the whole purpose. If you notice none of the recipes include sugar as an ingredient, so it’s a point worth considering.

29) Sada Dosa with Chutney

Dosa is a South Indian Dish and extremely good for health when prepared in a correct way.

The real secret of this south Indian weight loss recipe is in the batter and the ingredients.

You can easily ruin this healthy breakfast and convert it into junk when low quality oil is added. In fact I won’t suggest you to add any oil in it as Oil is a direct source of triglycerides.

With all the recipes mentioned here I have not advised any oil Instead I have advised to use cow ghee. So any food that you make try to cook without oil or if oil is a compulsion then replace it by ghee.

Let’s make our sada dosa in breakfast for weight loss.

Ingredients needed are

1 Cup Urad Dal
3 Cups raw rice (Preferably parboiled rice)
Salt to taste
Cow ghee

Ok so we have the ingredients ready now let’s make it…

Step 1: Soak the rice and Urad dal for approximately 7 hours.

Step 2: Grind it fine and make it into a paste (The paste should be very smooth and you should not be able to feel even the smallest granules).

Step 3: Ferment it for 7 – 8 hours

Step 4: Add some salt to the batter and mix it well.

Step 5: Pre heat the Dosa Pan.

Step 6: Put the dosa batter in small quantity and spread it evenly.

Step 7: cook both the sides well and your dosa is ready.

Serve it with Green Chutney, to make chutney you may refer Recipe #9 (Oats IDLI).

30) Oats and Corn Muesli

Oats and corn combined together makes a supremely healthy breakfast. These days there are ready made muesli sold in shopping malls and stores. But I would recommend you make this muesli at home.

Making muesli at home for breakfast is a healthy option since you have the total control on making it fresh.

The one’s available readily may contain preservatives and low quality sugar that simply won’t serve the purpose. Instead make muesli at home following below steps.

Here are the Ingredients needed to make Oats and corn muesli for weight loss

1 cup Roasted rolled Oats
Dry fruits such as 2 large spoon chopped cashew nuts, raisins, chopped walnuts and almonds
1 Cup corn flakes
2-3 cups milk (You can add more or less depending on your preference).
Organic Honey for Sweetness
One pinch cinnamon powder
One cardamom
Half cup chopped apples
1/4^th cup chopped bananas

Do you have the above ingredients ready? Ok, now let’s make our Muesli.

Make Oats and Corn Muesli in 3 easy steps.

Step 1: Boil the low fat Milk with Cinnamon powder and cardamom.

Step 2: Mix all the ingredients above except the flakes and honey.

Step 3: Now add Honey and mix is well.

Step 4: Add flakes mix it well and have it for breakfast.

The reason I advised to add flakes last is because it will lose the crunchy feeling if you mix it in advance.

If you don’t like crunchiness then you can mix oats and flakes together.

Conclusion

Weight loss is all about patience and repeatedly doing things that are right in a disciplined manner.

You won’t be able to lose even a bit if you don’t maintain the discipline.

So in a nutshell even if I give you Indian diet recipes for breakfast lunch and dinner it won’t help unless you stop consuming junk.

Early morning when you wake up go for a brisk walk (at least 30minutes a day).

Additionally, Keep one thing in mind i.e. you should consume heavy breakfast and then you need to reduce the food intake quantitatively as the day progresses.

And lastly, stop eating anything after 8.

Follow these key points along with above mentioned Breakfast recipes for stable weight loss.

So now the ball is in your court and it’s up to you what best suits you.
