Zero Oil Cooking
Eating oil-free food or cooking food with less or no oil is one of the secrets to staying healthy, especially for heart patients. Doing this will not only make the food taste better but will also give you a healthy lifestyle. Zero Oil Cooking is not just a cooking method, it’s a way of life. It will help you to live a longer, healthier, disease free, and fit life. Your food is cooked how you normally cook it just avoid using oil.
In ancient times, our ancestors had an active physical life due to the absence of technology. They had to work relentlessly the whole day, hunt and kill animals to eat. All this physical labour ensured the natural oil they consumed through their food was fully utilized by their bodies. But in the 21st century and today’s technological era, a sedentary lifestyle has become a common way of living. On the contrary, most of the work in jobs today is on a laptop or on phone calls which results in zero to very low physical activity. The lack of movement makes it harder to digest the food properly, especially if it’s rich in fats.
It won’t be harmful if you lessen the consumption of oil since it is already present in your body in the form of good cholesterol. From childhood, we have a habit of eating oily and junk food. Fatty food feels rewarding. All this can change today also since it is better late than never. If you control your urges and start making small changes today, you will see their benefits in the long run and live a healthier life by following Saaol’s special zero oil cooking method.

Why should you avoid cooking with Oil?
Cooking with oil, even in seemingly healthy varieties like olive, coconut, or vegetable oils, can pose serious health risks, particularly when used regularly or at high temperatures. While many believe that certain oils are better than others, the truth is that all oils are refined and concentrated forms of fat. When consumed, they contribute to increased cholesterol levels and can cause fat build-up in the arteries, potentially leading to heart disease, hypertension, and strokes over time. Even so-called “healthy” oils are devoid of the natural fiber and nutrients found in whole foods, making them a calorie-dense but nutrient-poor addition to meals.
Furthermore, when oils are heated, particularly to high temperatures, they undergo chemical changes that produce harmful substances such as trans fats and free radicals. These compounds damage cells, increase inflammation and contribute to the development of chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Oils can also disrupt the balance of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids in the body, further fueling inflammation and negatively impacting heart health.
By eliminating oil from your cooking, you drastically reduce your intake of unnecessary and unhealthy fats. Instead, you can embrace cooking methods that enhance the natural flavors and health benefits of whole, plant-based foods, like steaming, boiling, grilling, or sautéing with water or broth. Not only will this help you manage your weight and improve heart health, but it will also promote better digestion, energy levels, and overall well-being. Moving towards an oil-free diet ensures you’re fueling your body with the nutrients it needs without the damaging effects of processed fats.
How can you cook food without oil?
Non-sticky purposes are the main cause of why oil is used in cooking. Below mentioned certain cooking methods and modern cookware show how it’s feasible not to slaughter flavor and still experience the same consequences. Here are some course of action you must follow to cook without oil.
Sluggish cooker
These are utilized tools to utilize if you don’t have time to make a whole dinner. You simply combine all the ingredients and let them work. The best soups, meats, and curries may be made in slow cookers.
Baked goods
You can bake your meal using parchment paper or reusable silicone baking mats by simply seasoning it as usual. No oil will be required, and the food will be perfectly roasted.
Poaching or steaming
Your meal will be cooked using steam or boiling water. You can cook vegetables, meats, dumplings, and desserts more quickly and easily with the best flavor. After steaming or poaching, serve your food with sauces or dressings.
Air frying
Compared to deep frying, this contemporary kitchen device promises to be healthier. Using hot air to flow around the meal, air fryers produce crispy and crunchy textures that are similar to those of traditional deep-fried foods without drowning the food in vats of oil.
Instant pots
While instant pots are entirely sealed and cook at higher temperatures in less time, slow cookers run for a longer period at lower temperatures. In addition to having extra cooking modes including yogurt, steam, cake, and saute, instant pots can produce all the foods.
Sauteing
All you need is a decent nonstick pan—ideally, one that is PTFE/PFOA free. No cooking oils should be required when cooking on low-medium, or high heat. However, you can always deglaze the pan with a dash of broth or water if you do see some mild sticking.

Patients Speaks
My blockage was 80-90% and heart pumping was about 24 and my main complaints were discomfort, unable to walk, major breathing issues. That is when I came across SAAOL and Dr. Bimal Chhajer. I watched his lectures and learned that Heart blockages can be reversed without surgery and with a few lifestyle changes. I started my treatment at SAAOL and within a month’s time I feel much healthier and are able to perform all day-to-day activities with ease. I am able to walk for an hour daily, I don’t feel fatigue or any kind of discomfort now. I am very grateful to Dr. Chhajer for his guidance and for providing heart patients with an alternate that is cost effective also.
I had a minor heart attack in 1989 and doctors told me that getting bypass surgery is my only option but I refused. I met Dr. Bimal Chhajer at a medical residential camp in Faridabad and at that time I was unable to do day-to-day work due to excessive pain in my body and I was taking atleast 6-7 Sorbitrate tablets per day. I immediately started the EECP treatment and Detox Therapy along with diet and lifestyle changes including yoga, and meditation, and followed a zero oil diet plan for 40 days. For 2 years I kept on following these lifestyle changes and now after 25 years I am completely fine and I am also able to do normal day-to-day activities very easily. All this was made possible SAAOL without any kind of bypass surgery or angioplasty.
Year ago my husband was suffering from angina and discomfort in walking and doing sedentary activities. We heard about SAAOL through YouTube. We consulted Dr.Chhajer and were told that my husband’s Heart health could get better without surgery and with a few lifestyle changes. Post completion of the treatment his test reports only showed 50% blockage. He takes his regular medication and follows the SAAOL recommended Lifestyle like Zero Oil Cooking, Yoga, etc. His health is constantly improving. We are very grateful to SAAOL and Dr.Chhajer for his noble service for the society.
About 6-7 months ago I suffered from minor angina due to which doctors told me to go for a stent. After 3 months, I had a Heart stroke which got me really worried about my health. A friend recommended Dr.Bimal’s YouTube channel and I got to know about Natural Bypass. . It is a process that treats Heart blockage without any surgery and I started my treatment immediately. I took 35 EECP sessions along with medication and followed the SAAOL Lifestyle. I am so relieved now as my condition has improved tremendously and I am at ease now. I would like to thank Dr.Chhajer for his advise and for healing lakhs of Heart patients the Natural way. I will definitely spread knowledge about this treatment to my near and dear ones.
