Ludhiana, September 26
Navratras is the time to fast but sometimes, instead of fasting, people tend to eat more and end up adding a few kilos.
Fast does not mean you have to eat fried stuff. All you need is to be extra cautious while selecting your food during Navratra fasting. Simple alterations in your eating habits will help you weigh lighter on the scale on the ninth day of fasting. This is probably on your mind before you pledge to go fasting.
