English Mutton Biryani (1 Cup) and Chicken Stir Fry (1 Cup)

Reduce the biryani portion and replace part of the rice with cauliflower rice or extra non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, or green beans.

Keep the chicken stir fry sauce unsweetened: use garlic, ginger, chili, herbs, soy sauce, lemon, or vinegar instead of sugar, honey, sweet chili sauce, or sugary bottled sauces.

Start the meal with a salad of leafy greens, cucumber, tomatoes, and lemon or vinegar dressing, then eat the chicken and mutton before the rice.

Choose a smaller biryani serving and avoid seconds; prioritize the mutton, chicken, and vegetables over the rice.

Add a side of plain unsweetened Greek yogurt or cucumber raita to slow the meal’s absorption and increase fullness.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, and avoid lying down or remaining sedentary after the meal.
