13 Essential Strategies for a 30-Day Indian Diet Plan to Lose Weight

10. Traditional Indian Drinks That Support Weight Loss

What you drink matters as much as what you eat. Hydration supports digestion and fullness, so aim for 8–10 glasses of water daily and use traditional digestive drinks as complements. Jeera water (soaked or boiled cumin water) can be a gentle morning or pre-meal sip for digestion, and green tea is a low-calorie option for the afternoon. Masala chai can fit if you cut down sugar or use a smaller cup; choose low-fat milk or milk alternatives when possible. Warm turmeric milk is soothing as an occasional bedtime drink, but keep portions small and low on added sugar. Avoid high-sugar lassis and sweetened beverages; these add calories quickly without filling you. These beverage choices help you stay hydrated, support digestion, and reduce sugary temptations.
