Indians love their pulses and we have just found out that consuming them can actually help you lose your weight. Here are 5 varieties of pulses that can help you lose your weight in no time:
Moong Dal can be consumed in various ways – as a whole, as a split, and without its cover. Whole dal is high in fibre and helps with weight loss as it keeps you full for longer. High on protein and less on carbs, it’s regarded as a superfood for vegetarians.
A single serving of this dal can fulfil 32 per cent of your fibre requirement. They also provide potassium, folate and iron.
Also known as Kabuli Chana in India, these are high in protein, vitamins, and minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium. All of these nutrients support healthy digestion, strengthen bones, and promote weight loss.
In India, these are called Rajma beans. High in protein and fibre and with a low glycemic index, this takes care of heart health and maintains blood sugar levels.
Also called Matki beans, these help in weight loss and building muscles because they are a powerhouse of vitamin B, fibre, and zinc.
