Can these high-protein Bread/Gram Flour help in losing weight?

“No one food cannot do that, but think logically. Even if you mix, you get max a spoon of Pulse extra and that’s it. Pulse and Flour have nearly the same amount of fiber, pulse just has about double protein. So this is just a trick to add at max a gram of protein per rotis (Indian Flat Bread). This trick works for people who have like a dozen rotis (Indian Flat Bread) per day, and everything else on the plate is less. It is not for nowadays urban people who have 2 to 4 rotis (Indian Flat Bread) at max per day,” says Rastogi.

Here’s how you can compensate for the missing protein

“If you are too worried, reduce half a rotis (Indian Flat Bread) and add a spoon of pulse separately. Or just add a few roasted Chickpea Lentils on the side to this meal. Or just include that extra protein in any other way like from Curd ( Dahi ) etc.

Achieve this goal by many many ways available but make it a point to keep it simple and don’t compromise on taste, otherwise, this will not be sustainable,” says the nutritionist.

So the next time you are required to add something to your diet, find an alternative that you feel is sustainable instead of blindly following trending diets.
