@ McKinsey & Company - if you give up something completely your body goes into starvation mode...

@ Senior Associate - yes you can loose weight with Indian diet... change the proportion of carbs... i.e. if you are eating 3 rotis normally switch to 2 and increase vegetable intake... lower sodium intake use moderate quantity of ghee to make vegetables instead of oil... don’t have plain rice or so called biryani available in restaurants as it has very low quantity of vegetables... vegetables are high in fiber so it will keep you full.. include healthy fats i.e dry fruits for snacking... if you eat meat go for grilled options as meals... (tandoor starters)

If you eat lhealthy and if it is less than what you burn in the day you will lose weight.

No rice , only roti

So losing weight on Indian food while at home is very much possible. On the other hand, if you are traveling and have to eat at restaurants, I think it’s hard to find healthy choices in Indian restaurants. The curries are too full of cream and the sides are full of carbs (rice/maida).

24, a decent amount of savings in the bank. I’m sort of interested in buying a property in the next few years.
Is this a good or bad idea? I live in Ny area, so obviously the city would probably be too expensive to buy any property. Would probably have to buy further out in westchester, Long Island, maybe connecticut or NJ. If I buy, should I be living there? Or should I rent it out until I’m ready to live there (assuming it’s a bit further from the city). Very early stages of just thinking

My ADHD has been a massive barrier for me in my career. I can’t stay at a job for more than 1.5 years.

My ADHD keeps me from being a consistently great performer. When I manage my ADHD, I am amazing. And when I fail to manage it, I fall short. And everyone then wonders why I can’t do my basic job responsibilities.
It’s frustrating. I am V qualified, talented and capable, but this thing is killing me. Everyone I know is getting ahead and I’m constantly struggling even though I’m ambitious.
