Eating healthy is often related to weight loss. However, even if you are not overweight, it always helps to cut down on unhealthy food. The various benefits of eating well include better mental health, stronger immunity, and excellent digestion among other things. That said, it’s not always easy to find healthy substitutes for the staples we have in our diet, particularly rice and potatoes. And to imagine replacing that evening samosa with a salad leaves most of us with a giant lump in our throats. Luckily, one doesn’t have to go always take such extreme measures.

Avoid these unhealthy Indian snacks to accelerate your weight loss journey

• Pakora: Your inevitable companion with your evening chai. Pakoras are highly addictive which can make people obese and decrease good cholesterol.

• Bhujia: A common snack loved by ages of all group but bhujia contains a huge amount of chemical preservatives that increase your cholesterol. Consuming an excess amount of bhujia can lead to high sugar levels and pressure.
• Samosa: A staple food at get-togethers and parties, samosa is loved by millions of people but don’t be deceived, these triangular devils are bad for your health. A single samosa contains 25gms of fat.
