English Lamb Kofta (1 Skewer)

Choose a smaller portion of lamb kofta and avoid adding sugary glazes, chutneys, or sweet sauces.

Skip or halve pita, naan, fries, and rice; serve the kofta with a large salad of leafy greens, cucumber, tomatoes, and peppers instead.

Pair the meal with plain unsweetened Greek yogurt or a cucumber-yogurt sauce rather than ketchup or sweet chili sauce.

Add non-starchy vegetables such as roasted broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, eggplant, or green beans to increase fiber and volume.

Start with the salad or vegetables, eat the kofta next, and leave any starch for last if you include it.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating and choose water or unsweetened tea instead of sugary drinks or alcohol.
