There are always going to be a thousand things that you can do for weight loss. Both in exercising as well as dieting. There are various types of diets and fasting techniques trending every few months and all of them promise to cut down those extra kilos. Research also suggests that following a crash diet can result in more belly fat and less muscles. But the truth is that only a proper diet and regular workout sessions will show the weight loss. Now, will you believe us if we said that Indian dals can make you shed some weight?

We've all had types of dals ever since our childhood. They don't only taste good but are amazing for weight loss too. Here's how these Indian dals work naturally on your weight loss:

- Masoor dal: This is one super ingredient for all weight loss diets. Every diet you pick will include masoor dal since it has the right amount of carbohydrates that your body needs and is also low on the fat content. It has high fiber content that eases the digestion process which all the more adds to weight loss. One cup masoor dal is all that you need to provide your body with proteins, vitamins and other nutrients.

- Moong dal: This one is the most famous dal in India. Apart from being popular, it aids weight loss and is also quite nutritious. Moong dal is loaded with fiber and plant based proteins which works well for weight loss. It is also easily digested and is high in protein. The fiber present in this dal keeps you feeling full for longer duration. This makes moong dal very effective for weight loss.

- Kulthi ki dal: This is the one that is known as horse gram lentil which doesn't just aid weight loss but also helps in filling the gap of all the essential nutrients that your body needs. If you follow a vegetarian diet, you must definitely include horse gram in your diet as it's the best source for proteins. It is loaded with dietary fibers, minerals and vitamins and it is also low in calories.

Hence, if you're on a look out for foods that can help you lose weight, these three Indian dals are a must have.
