Are you bored of eating the same food due to lack of time, in order to maintain a healthy diet or to stay in shape? Then you are probably in a food rut!
A food rut is an unexciting feeling of eating the same food over and over.
For instance, you hate a restaurant because it was your go-to place to escape cooking or you’ve heard a friend whining about how dinner at home is always roti with different subzis. Then you and your friend are both facing a food rut!
While this is not necessarily unhealthy, it is always more interesting and probably healthier to have variations. Here are 4 simple yet do-able tips that you can try to escape this dullness.
1. Come up with a game plan!

This is the most important tip! Because without a plan, you will end up using the left over ingredients from the last dish. So invest 20-30 minutes in coming up with a menu for 2 weeks. You can either plan the menu with your own knowledge or get inspirations from others.

2. Choose real food over processed food.

Real food is certainly healthier, gluten-free if required, and always available; most of all – they come with no label! You can buy them in bulk, try out a million dishes and freeze the remaining for future. It is a win-win right?

3. Pep it up with the web!

The internet has an answer/ suggestion to all your queries. From recreating an old dish to preparing an interesting dish with the most common ingredients, the web has it all! You can find them in the forms of blogs & video-logs from experts from all over the world. Use them to prepare the yummiest, easiest & quickest dishes.

4. Try the new buzz!

We are talking about an individual or a group of food enthusiasts with great culinary skills door -delivering homemade, delicious and customizable meals! They have many subscription plans with enticing menus. Don’t like an ingredient from the menu? Ring them up and notify them about it. You might wonder how this will work out, cost wise but unlike other ordered meals these are less expensive. You can look them up on the internet or in your local magazines. Pretty cool, right?

We know this is easier said than done but trust us; this is worth giving a shot to break out from the monotony 🙂
