Lose weight naturally with a Porridge
A myth “No Carbs to lose weight” has been the new fashion these days. However running after un-sustainable ways of losing weight will be the real myth on long run.
Carbs have very bad reputation for bombarding the sugars. However carbs does not mean refined & highly processed foods like maida, sooji etc. We have really good carbs that release the sugars slowly and even help in weight management by keeping us full for a long time like whole grains.
Porridges are such recipes that have whole grains and which requires very less time to cook preserving all the micro-nutrients, vitamins, protein and good carbs.
Due to less cooking time a “Porridge” while providing all the above nutrients it keeps us full for a longer by releasing the sugars very slow.
How to use: Take 200ml of water in a bowl and boil it. Meanwhile prepare a paste of the any of your favorite porridge premix with water and add this to the boiling water. Cook on low flame for about3–5mins and add salt if preferred.
*Have this porridge everyday early in the morning with an hour after you wake up. You need not skip your breakfast but reduce 1/4th quantity to accommodate this porridge. Also have the same porridge in between 4–5 as a snack. You may also replace with other porridges.
Having porridge daily will help in slow release of sugars which keeps you full for a longer time avoiding junk and extra dosage of foods.
