To a lot of people, weight loss is often associated with exercising as much and as often as possible. But there is more to it than just that.
As any fitness freak can attest, diet is equally, if not more important, than exercise. The best way to go about such a lifestyle change is to find and try different weight loss recipes. The only way you can implement a healthy diet is to figure out what you can eat and cook on an everyday basis, something that is sustainable and readily available.
Here are some weight loss recipes that will allow you to eat wholesome, filling, and healthy meals.
Breakfast:
Cinnamon French Toast (Vegetarian, Lactose-Free)
This lovely breakfast option is a healthy alternative to other bread-based breakfast foods. Since this weight loss recipe does not contain milk, it also has a relatively low amount of saturated fat.
Ingredients:
Four eggs, Two teaspoons of ground cinnamon, Four slices of wholegrain bread, Olive oil, Raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, Honey
How to Make:
Crack four eggs into a bowl, and whisk ground cinnamon into it with a fork. Once mixed, soak each bread slice into the egg mixture. Then heat a large frying pan on medium heat, and add a small amount of olive oil to it.
One by one, add each bread slice to the frying pan. Let each side cook for around 2 minutes until it turns into a beautiful golden brown. You can then serve these French toasts with cut-up raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries. You could even drizzle honey on top for added sweetness.
Lunch/Dinner:
Vegetarian Red Curry
Curry is one of the more delicious foods you can add to your diet. It has a lot of health benefits, as it contains potent, anti-inflammatory properties and may even boost your digestive health. It is also highly versatile and can be customized as per your tastes.
