Eat These Vegetables and Burn Fat

Yes, it's true that some vegetables really expedite weight loss. This is
because these vegetables act as natural metabolism boosters, and remember,
weight loss is all about your metabolism.

The faster your metabolism, the faster your body is able to break down
calories and burn fat. If you have a slow metabolism, your body take longer
to break down calories, which can lead to weight gain.

Before we discuss the list of vegetables, let's quickly look at 3 ways to
boost up your metabolism.

1) Eating fiber rich foods and food rich in antioxidants.

2) Exercising regularly boosts your metabolism ( especially weight bearing
exercises like weights, running, plyometrics and core synergistics)

3) 7 hours of sleep ( so your body has time for hormone balance and
production as well as time to rest, recover and repair.

Here are the best vegetables that expedite weight loss -

Broccoli
Spinach
Cabbage
Cauliflower.

Have the broccoli steamed, in salads, stir fries or vegetable preparations.
Don't boil or cook to long. Can be consumed raw but preferably not in the
monsoons

Spinach should be washed well, steamed, pureed or cooked. Do not boil.

Cabbage and cauliflower preparations should include turmeric and spice. The
combination of turmeric, cauliflower and cabbage is essential to prevent
cancer. Use turmerics with these vegetable preparations, easy on the
coconut.

Always add a dash of virgin olive oil to any vegetable preparation, because
Vitamins in these vegetables are ' fat soluble', which means that they need
oil or fat for the nutrients to be absorbed from the vegetables, into our
body.


Take a look at these four vegetables, they can actually all be combined to
prepare a bowl of salad. Add a balsamic dressing, roasted pine nuts and
mixed beans ( gazebo, pinto, black eye, kidney) and some freshly chopped
tomato and capers and you have en extremely healthy salad which will help
you lose weight.

Or simply cook it Indian style. If you have come up with an innovative
recipe to utilize these vegetables, feel free to share it.
