In this short video, Salila Sukumaran highlights how Indian fasting (vrat) foods can support a New Year resolution to lose fat and become more toned. She explains that while the body can synthesize many proteins, the nine essential amino acids must be obtained directly from the diet. Contrary to common belief that meat is required for these nutrients, she points out that vegetarian sources such as soy, buckwheat, and especially amaranth (rajgira) provide comparable amounts of essential amino acids. Salila notes that 100 g of rajgira delivers nearly the same essential protein as 100 g of soy, making it a smart choice for Indian diets. Beyond muscle building, she claims these high‑protein vegan foods improve sleep, balance hormones, and promote mental steadiness.
