If you're trying to lose weight, the most important thing you should do is stop ordering food from outside. As a former chef and restaurant owner, and also someone trying to lose weight, let me tell you why.

Thank goodness we have stopped the spread of the vile BBC documentary against our beloved PM.
If you search torrent sites for "India Modi", you get absolutely no results, so don't even bother trying. And tell your friends not to try this either. Torrenting is wrong.

So courageous. Newspaper apologising for the client supplying the wrong image for an ad. Ramnath Goenka would've been proud.

3) Restaurants have no incentive to make lower calorie food. They want to make food taste good. Fat and sugar make things taste good. Imagine how much butter and other fats are used in restaurant food. Multiply that by 3 and you're closer to the real number.

If you're ordering roasted/sautéed veggies, they have been roasted in oil/butter.
If you're ordering a curry, it's probably swimming in fat that's been emulsified into the sauce. 4-5 tbsp min oil to sauté plus extra cream sometimes or nut pastes.
