1tsp of ghee has less calories and boosts weight loss

‘From fat to fit’ is trending on everyone’s wish list and thanks to new age dieticians and the mighty internet, we are loaded with tons of diet plans to go from XL to XS, as they rightly quote. The portion meal diet, the twice-a-day-only diet, GM diet, low GI diet and a hundred alike have drastically changed the yesteryear food philosophies. Age-old therapeutic foods have been replaced by modern-day superfoods and daily intake is no longer about simple balanced meals but calorie calculated portions that do yield results but breed myths and misconceptions about traditional foods.
