Welcome! Have a look around
You might be gobsmacked reading that. But allow me to explain why I am making this statement. Have a read!
We know what you're thinking.
“But air-frying is healthier!”
“I’m trying to lose weight so I have to cut out oil.”
Right.
That’s why you ate 3 sad air-fried samosas that tasted like cardboard, then raided the snack drawer 30 minutes later and downed half a packet of biscuits “by accident.”
Let’s be honest:
You didn’t save calories. You just prolonged your cravings, killed your mood, and STILL went over your calorie target.
🔍 Here’s the truth: If it doesn’t hit the spot, it won’t help your weight loss. It’ll just push you into a ‘f*ck it’ spiral later.
Air frying sounds healthy.
But let’s break down what actually happens:
You want a samosa.
You air fry it because you think oil = fat gain.
It comes out dry, flat, and joyless.
You eat it. Meh.
You’re unsatisfied. You start nibbling on other things.
Before you know it, your total calorie intake is higher than if you just had the damn deep-fried one in the first place.
🧠 Calorie control isn’t about eating ‘healthified’ versions of every food. It’s about eating what satisfies you — and stopping there.
A deep-fried samosa is around 120–140 calories. That’s it.
Have 2-3, call it a treat, move on.
If it stops you bingeing later, you’re STILL in a better calorie position than pretending air-fried disappointment will do the job.
And no — eating deep-fried food once or twice a week won’t magically undo your fat loss. You know what will?
Regularly overeating out of frustration
Snacking out of boredom because your meals are joyless
Swearing off all tasty food and then relapsing HARD on weekends
💥 The goal is consistency — not perfection.
If having your mum’s golden, crispy, deep-fried samosa once in a while keeps you mentally sane and physically on track?
Do it. And stop apologising for it.
Track the calories if you can. Estimate if you can’t.
Eat the proper, crispy version — slowly. Enjoy it.
Plan it in — don’t treat it like a cheat.
Then carry on with your usual protein + veg meals. Business as usual.
💡 It’s not the one samosa. It’s what happens after the samosa.
If you stay on track after, no damage done.
But if you punish yourself, spiral, and end up inhaling 3 more random things because “you’ve already ruined it” — that’s where the problem is.
So next time someone judges you for eating a fried samosa, smile politely. Then dip it in chutney and take the biggest, crispiest bite.
Weight loss is about balance — not martyrdom.
