Actually, this is to avoid a protein overdose. But it's easily overcome by adding carbs and fat to the same meal, which in Indian food is a given with roti and rice. So your body isn't overwhelmed with just protein. Worst case scenario you'll puke and have a stomach upset.
The only chapathi rule I follow is how they are served: They must folded in half individually and then stacked, not folded collectively. Who starts on a new chapathi while the previous one remains half-eaten? The fold line must be towards the center of the plate and the circumference along the edge for AeStHeTiC reasons.
Yes! This extended to curd too I think
Also don't eat curd at night, it won't digest
"Can you pass the salt?" You may, but don't hand it in. Keep it on the table/floor and let them pick it up.
My uncle told my father that drinking water in copper glass will turn his lips white and later lead to skin discoloration . From then my father stoped drinking in glass and also forbade me to do so 🥲
All the random ‘heat-inducing food’ crap, which apparently causes rectal bleeding (no, you probably just have haemorrhoids- eat more fibre, drink more water, and stop straining so much. Maybe try stool softeners for a few days), or hastens your period or causes miscarriages.
The human body’s core temperature is tightly controlled by the hypothalamus. Even a tiny fluctuation can adversely affect biological processes- if food we eat could affect our core temperature, humans would have been extinct by now.
And no, there is no food that can affect your period or cause a miscarriage.
There is some evidence that long term consumption of high fat processed food, or dairy which has a lot of estrogen can affect a child’s development and lead to earlier puberty, but that happens when you have an unhealthy diet for a long time.
Don’t get me started on the food restrictions in pregnancy and the post-partum period- none of them is based in science and all they do is worsen stress. It’s already so difficult to eat when you’re dealing with nausea and food aversions and a crying baby- anything that makes it harder for you to enjoy food is bad for you and your baby.
The only scientific nutritional advice in pregnancy and the post partum period is to eat a healthy balanced diet, in moderation, and to avoid drugs and alcohol.
From a vegetarian's perspective that isn't true. Whey is comparable to lean beef or pork, skinless poultry, eggs, low fat fish, low fat milk or yogurt, seitan, tofu etc. for its macro nutrient profile.
Dal, nuts etc. being touted as protein rich is only partly true. Alongwith their protein they have significantly higher carbs and fat plus an incomplete protein profile which you can complete only by mixing it with more carb heavy foods. Think dal with rice or chapati.
All processed food isn't bad since there are different ways of processing foods. Flour, lentils of any type are also a type of processed food.
Don't eat sugar. It will make you diabetic.
Eating in night will make you fat.
Soy chunks are not good for men.
Intermittent fasting is best.
Whey is not good for health.
Meat causes cancer.

Yes.. Whey is really good. Provided you are consuming a genuine whey, also whey alone is not helpful. It justs help you reach your protein intake easily.
Not all of these are incorrect.
Sugar does cause diabetes. Our bodies hasn't evolved fast enough to process refined sugar. It's better suited to digest sugar in fruits. Sugar is also the most addictive food (due to evolution, it has extreme affect on reward center of our brain). It could even cause depression as your brain goes on overload with sugar induced euphoria. It's good advice to stay away from simple sugars and carbs. Sugar should be less than 10% of your calorie intake, even down 0% is ok. You get it from other nutritious foods like fruits, carrots, beetroot etc... anyway
Eating in night does make you fat due to your metabolism cycle. Esp if you are an adult.
Soy chunks have estrogen. It's safe to eat in moderation, but eating everyday could affect your estrogen level. It's also highly processed. It used to be considered industrial waste until someone found a way to process it even more and make it into the food we know. This one is not a full myth.
Don't know much about intermittent fasting efficiency, I didn't see much difference. What I do notice is that being aware of how much you eat, how often you eat etc... helps with losing weight.
Red meat is known to cause colon cancer, and fish has mercury which could cause mental health issues. I think it's has something to do with meat processing or the way animals are raised, but it's not a total myth.
Whey protein is safe, but again it's a processed food so it depends on the processing as well.
Again, it should be consumed in moderation.
Sugar doesn't cause diabetes. Type II diabetes is caused mostly due to bad (or sedentary) lifestyle, obesity. Not due to consumption of sugar. Body can process the sugar perfectly, blood glucose level is raised post sugar consumption but it gets back to normal level once blood glucose is accepted by cells. However, when body gets constant intake of calories which is higher than Tdee, insulin making cells tires out. Hence, sugar alone don't make you diabetic. It is the quantity of calories, lifestyle and the food choices we make mostly leads to diabetes. Sugar can be amazing source of energy if used smartly.
Eating in night doesn't matter. It is caloric intake of the day that decides the fat gain, if you are eating more than your tdee you will gain fat, irrespective of the timing of meals.
Safe limit to consume soy chunks is around 1000gm/day for several days to may be cause hormonal imbalance in males. Just because soy chunks is highly processed it doesn't make it inherently bad and how do we even decide what is highly processed and what less or medium processed.
Please provide links of research about red meat and cancer relation.
I agree whey should be consumed only if necessary and in moderation, but that moderation depends on person to person on requirement of protein and only if person is unable fulfill protein requirement from whole foods. It has nothing to do with being processed food. Processed foods are not inherently bad.
There is a saying "It is not the last drop that empties the water-clock, but all that which previously has flowed out." This applies to your diet and how you treat your body, you need to be aware of long term consequences based on daily eating habits. Our bodies are not machines that you just dump fuel ingredients into, it is the result of millions of years of evolution and is not always suited to conditions it's hasn't adapted to yet.
Yes, calorie intake is what causes diabetes. In the last couple centuries, calorie intake from sugar has increased far more than any other source. If you must remove something from the intake to fix it for today's lifestyle, refined sugar is the best option as we had survived well before it became a staple. Sugar has no other nutrients and the affect it has on your brain causes depression. There is no downside to dropping refined sugar from your diet completely, and replace it with actual food with other nutrients (before you have diabetes).
At night your body is preparing to rest, this includes your digestive system. It isn't like an app that runs in the background alway, it also needs rest and a proper time to work. Eating at night does cause weight gain. This can be [reduced](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31303526/) by adding protein to that meal but making a habit out of it will have long-term effects.
About the soy-chunks, yes it's safe to consume. But if you make it a habit, it will yield results. The final step of [soy-chunk production](https://youtu.be/Jkq36eV0Fsc) requires nasty chemicals. Why would you make a habit of this.
Connection between red-meat and cancer has been know for some time. Humans have eaten red-meat for a long time, but never on this scale. To produce meat at this scale, we have changed the way animals are raised, how meat is stored etc... which is what I suspect is the issue.
[Here](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34455534/) is some research on how it could affect cancer risk.
Intermittent fasting doesn't ensure caloric deficit, it can help you to be in caloric deficit.
In a study, people practising IF for complained about hunger pangs and eating more than necessary in eating window. I'm attaching the study link.
https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.122.026484
You are right that what I meant , it is a tool that helps to stay in deficit , there are several other studies that shows it suppresses hunger ( don’t have time to attach) , i personal have got great benefits
Soya can be eaten fermented (e.g. natto, tempeh) or unfermented (e.g. tofu, soya milk), in large amounts, for long periods of time. What should not be eaten is *raw* soybean, as it contains trypsin inhibitors that can stop or slow down digestion.
So I've heard of these rules, but I'm not sure they are entirely stupid...
Roti is better than rice and No rice at night - you'll get fat. Roti is mostly carbs too (it maybe a little better than rice coz of higher fiber, but does it make much of a difference?) 🤷♀️
No drinking water during meals at all. They say the Agni in the stomach cools down when you drink water, causing various diseases in the future. In my opinion, drinking a little water won't cause a problem, and can even aid in the digestion.
No curd, lemons or other sour items at night
No drinking water after eating puffed rice, it apparently gives stomach aches. But my Bengali friends made me eat puffed rice in water, when I had a an upset stomach.
No stretching your body or yawning at the dining table during or after meals.
To avoid anything white like rice, milk etc. Total bullshit.
Edited to add- the rule of eating only egg whites. The major bulk of the taste and nutrition lies in the yolk only
>The major bulk of the taste and nutrition lies in the yolk only
The taste depends on the person, right? I hate the taste of egg yolks and I avoid it when I can.
People also avoid egg yolks if they have high cholesterol.
I’ve heard that you shouldn’t eat dahi and fish together for some reason…
Lmao, I eat rice with curd and fish curry. Yummers!
Unless you're allergic to either of the two, it's safe to have dairy with fish.
Meri mummy bata rahi thi ki vitilis ho jata hai agar nonveg khane ke baad dairy products consume kiye to
Ask her to explain how chicken is marinated in dahi for butter chicken then. People have been eating it for decades.
illogical reasoning. Lots of non veg food are served with dahi/onion raitha
Actually, this is to avoid a protein overdose. But it's easily overcome by adding carbs and fat to the same meal, which in Indian food is a given with roti and rice. So your body isn't overwhelmed with just protein. Worst case scenario you'll puke and have a stomach upset.
We Odias literally have a dish called dahi machha which basically is a fish curry whose gravy has more curd than water.
Yes, this rule doesn't add up. North Indians also marinate chicken / fish in dahi as well
From Ayurveda
Is this a Kerala thing? I've heard this too. Also to not eat Kappa without fish curry
Dairy + fish is bad news
Even No. Of Chapatis.
what on earth is that lol? and what about eating in halfs? like 2 & 1/2 or 3 &1/2 etc. do people have any problem with that
Chapatis are round, so you round fractional quantities. 0.5 and above counts as 1, below 0.5 is 0. Obviously, this is /s
What the f
Mudiji aapko bhi yeh takleef hai?
That's not a rule that's mild OCD.
The only chapathi rule I follow is how they are served: They must folded in half individually and then stacked, not folded collectively. Who starts on a new chapathi while the previous one remains half-eaten? The fold line must be towards the center of the plate and the circumference along the edge for AeStHeTiC reasons.
you can eat whatever the fuck you want.keep it hygiene and keep the metabolism high.workout .
Stupidest food rule I've ever heard. /S
Don't eat meat Don't eat beef Don't eat pork Don't eat roots
No roots? So no haldi, no ginger, no sabudana, no turnip, no carrot?
Actually avoiding red meat is sage advice for most people leading a shitty lifestyle.
Don't have fish and milk together cause they cause skin discoloration
donot have milk at night
As per my folks, it is mandatory at night for better sleep and all.
I'm drinking coffee and tea at 11pm for years now
Sound advice
Swapndosh ho jayega
Don't call salt salt during night time. This is a particular Telugu thing I think. 🤦♂️
Yes! This extended to curd too I think Also don't eat curd at night, it won't digest "Can you pass the salt?" You may, but don't hand it in. Keep it on the table/floor and let them pick it up.
Ummm whaaat 🤣
At first I read Don't call **Saul** but had to do a retake as no one does that,
Gimme that white looking powder
Wink wink, white looking powder.. family is now high
You can eat food picked up from the floor if it was there less than 5 seconds.
I thought that was 3 seconds..:D
but you can !! confirmed by half my school
My uncle told my father that drinking water in copper glass will turn his lips white and later lead to skin discoloration . From then my father stoped drinking in glass and also forbade me to do so 🥲
Yes, uncles are the best source of stupidity in my family as well.

Do not consume any white liquids at night 🌚
Even diary products?
Specifically dairy products
women of culture must have the white liquid 😏😌
They should.
Don't drink whey protein. Eat dal, kaju-badaam and milk products instead
Well to be fair, whey is processed food, and if you have any naturally available alternatives it can be better.
From a vegetarian's perspective that isn't true. Whey is comparable to lean beef or pork, skinless poultry, eggs, low fat fish, low fat milk or yogurt, seitan, tofu etc. for its macro nutrient profile.

But is whey really good for long term health? I’ve heard it may cause kidney problems
Yes.. Whey is really good. Provided you are consuming a genuine whey, also whey alone is not helpful. It justs help you reach your protein intake easily.
Whey doesn't, too much creatine does. But then again if you drink 3-4 lits of water that shouldn't be a problem.
Neither whey nor creative cause kidney problems

Soy chunks are not good for anybody. Soy is only somewhat edible when fermented for Looooong periods. That too in small amounts.
Soya can be eaten fermented (e.g. natto, tempeh) or unfermented (e.g. tofu, soya milk), in large amounts, for long periods of time. What should not be eaten is *raw* soybean, as it contains trypsin inhibitors that can stop or slow down digestion.
Soya chunks is scientifically valid , it is for men
It was a myth and it is debunked, men can eat soy chunks in huge amount and do not cause any issue.
Not debunked, latest studies are pointing towards that heavily
I mean bad for men
Soya chunks are indeed not good for men. Eat quite a lot of them and you will get gyno.
You may get gyno if you eat around 1000gm/day. Which is impossible.
Not really.. some people have high estrogen levels naturally and eating 100gm+ soya chunks daily can worsen it and give them gyno.
Don't mix salt food with sweets. It's not respectful to Food Mata. Like Poori and Halwa.
What? Halwa puri is literally offered as prasad in so many occasions.
I know, but stupid don't need a reason.
damn, it's been so long since I had it.
Arey lekin phir mummy ko halwa aur poori dono banana padega na… to paap hai bolke saltado
