does sattu increase weight - #36525
I am really confused about my diet lately. Been hearing a lot about sattu, you know? Some friends say it's super healthy, and you can use it in so many ways. But like, I also heard that sattu might actually help in gaining weight? Does sattu increase weight? I’ve been trying to lose a few pounds for summer but a week ago, I tried a sattu shake, thinking it would be a great healthy option. It tasted fine, but afterward, I felt kinda heavy, and didn't know if it was just me. The thing is, I’ve been looking at the nutritional info, and I see that sattu has calories and protein, which is awesome, but now I’m like, am I making a mistake here? Last few days, I’ve been kinda obsessing over what to eat, and I’m worried that sattu might not be the right fit for me. I even had sattu roti with dinner last night and felt that it filled me up quite a bit. Does it mean I could be gaining weight from sattu? Ah, it’s all muddled. I wanna get fit, not put on more weight. Can you guys please share your thoughts? Does sattu increase weight for everyone, or is it just like... if you overdo it? Thanks!

Sattu, essentially roasted gram flour, has indeed garnered attention for its nutritional profile. From an Ayurvedic perspective, sattu can play a dual role based on how you consume it. It’s naturally high in protein and fiber, which helps keep you satiated and supports muscle maintenance. However, whether it contributes to weight gain depends on several factors.
If you consume sattu in moderate quantities as part of a balanced diet, it won’t inherently cause weight gain. Because of its ability to make you feel full, for instance, it can actually support weight management by reducing overall calorie intake through the day. So if you had that sattu shake and felt full, it might have helped you eat less later on. This satiety is thanks to its slow digestion process, likely enhancing your sense of fullness.
However, like any food, consuming sattu in excess, especially in high-calorie preparations, can contribute to weight gain. Adding sattu shakes with lots of sugar, ghee-laden sattu parathas, or dishes dripping with extra oils could negate the health benefits.
For weight management, incorporate sattu simply. A glass of sattu mixed with water and a pinch of pink salt or lemon can be refreshing. If having sattu roti, balance it with lighter dishes like steamed veggies and lentil soup. Timing matters too. Use it mid-morning or as an evening snack to maintain satiety.
Ultimately, it’s about balance. Eating mindfully and ensuring other high-calorie additions don’t creep in would make sattu a beneficial part of your diet without derailing weight loss goals. If you’re worried, monitor portion size and combine it with regular exercise. You should find that, with these habits, sattu supports your weight loss journey rather than hinders it.
