After that, I watch out on other days by eating a healthy &amp; balanced diet.<\/p>\n<p>I absolutely don&#8217;t believe in extreme diets like keto, paleo, etc; they are all fad diets. Of course, if any health issues we sometimes have to follow a certain strict diet. Otherwise, our body needs everything- carbs, fat, sugar &amp; protein, everything in moderation though.<\/p>\n<p>Sharing a healthy, filling &amp; comforting lunch that can be whipped up pretty easily, can be also enjoyed for dinner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pan fried chicken thighs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29305\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pan-fried-chicken.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pan-fried-chicken.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pan-fried-chicken-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pan-fried-chicken-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29306\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pan-fried-chicken-and-veggies-healthy-meal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pan-fried-chicken-and-veggies-healthy-meal.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pan-fried-chicken-and-veggies-healthy-meal-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/instant-pot-quinoa-khichdi-15-minute-quinoa-lentil-porridge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quinoa Khichdi or Porridge, recipe click here<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29307\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Quinoa-Kichdi-Quinoa-Stew.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Quinoa-Kichdi-Quinoa-Stew.jpeg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Quinoa-Kichdi-Quinoa-Stew-133x200.jpeg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/instant-pot-healthy-spinach-red-lentil-soup-immunity-boosting-soup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Healthy Spinach Red lentil soup, recipe click here<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29308\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Instant-Pot-Spinach-Red-Lentil-Soup.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Instant-Pot-Spinach-Red-Lentil-Soup.jpeg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Instant-Pot-Spinach-Red-Lentil-Soup-267x200.jpeg 267w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Instant-Pot-Spinach-Red-Lentil-Soup-102x75.jpeg 102w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Instant-Pot-Spinach-Red-Lentil-Soup-210x158.jpeg 210w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Instant-Pot-Spinach-Red-Lentil-Soup-390x293.jpeg 390w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/tomato-red-lentil-soup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"bookmark noopener\">Tomato and Red Lentil Soup<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29309\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tomato-Lentil-Soup.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tomato-Lentil-Soup.jpeg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tomato-Lentil-Soup-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tomato-Lentil-Soup-84x55.jpeg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/healthy-chicken-veggies.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Healthy Pan Fried Chicken &amp;
