Nutritional differences between tofu vs paneer. quite commonly heard is that if you want to go for weight loss, then tofu being a low fat option is best for you. Is this how weight loss diets are designed?

Ans: Every source of protein is somewhat different from other sources. The key is balanced approach. Even if one eat paneer and it has fat, we need fat also in the diet.
Then, the taste is also a factor.

Weight loss diets are designed as per health need of the person. There are very low calories Diet (VLCD) to a range of diets such as intermittent fasting.

Consult a physician and a qualified dietitian to discuss specifics.

IS EATING SAMOSA , KACHORI , CHOWMEAN NOODLES GOOD FOR DIABETIC PATIENTS ???

Ans: Foods like samosas, kachoris, and chow mein noodles are generally not recommended for diabetic patients due to their high carbohydrate and fat content. For a diabetic-friendly diet, it’s better to opt for foods that are low in refined carbs and unhealthy fats. Choose whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, or whole wheat pasta and vegetable-based noodles such as zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash. Baked or grilled snacks instead of fried ones are also better to consume.

At 25, I have inherited 10-12 crore INR worth of real estate assets in Tamilnadu. I have a master's degree in finance and have a plan to create a well-diversified portfolio, potentially aiming to retire at 35 (I know this is too young, but I would like to spend the rest of my life chasing my real purpose rather than work a 9-5). What do you suggest I do with all my assets?

Ans: Hello;

Is the property in the form of land or commercial/residential units which may generate rental income?

Please update so as to provide suitable feedback.

Thanks;

I have obc ncl certificate of state but for aiq in neet does it will help

Ans: Hello Meenakshi
For the All India Quota (AIQ) in NEET, only the central OBC-NCL list is considered. If your OBC-NCL certificate is from your state but your caste is not in the central OBC list, then it will not be valid for AIQ reservations. If your caste is in both the state and central OBC lists, apply for a central OBC-NCL certificate to use it for AIQ in NEET.
