The ketogenic diet is embraced for its ability to healthily lose weight. You don’t have to look far to notice just how many friends, influencers, and celebrities are bragging about their keto weight loss and talking about how to get it fast! It’s a diet that restricts the number of carbs you eat, getting your body used to burn fat for energy rather than glycogen stores that come from carbohydrates. The result of all this is that the body taps into a natural metabolic state called ketosis – you become better at burning off the fat. Here we provide several brilliant low-fat keto recipes that will help with just that. Let’s find out more!

Fat-burning foods

If the goal is to lose weight, you’ll be surprised just how many keto recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner contain ingredients that will cause you to lose weight (to help this, you can also look at running to burn belly fat) Here are the categories that need to be sustained in keto recipes in order to lead to weight loss:

  • Satiety needs to be reached quickly and effectively
  • They need to be easy to digest
  • They need to promote a healthy gut so that fat can be lost efficiently
  • Energy levels need to be reached without adding too many calories
  • Ketosis needs to be promoted

With these things in mind, what are the keto recipes that will work? Let’s look at some healthy keto recipes that you can eat every day. We’ll provide you with the bare-bones so that you can customize them however you please. Ready? Let’s take a look.

1. Mushroom, walnuts, and “cauliflower rice” 

A hearty combo of ingredients that musters up a stunning umami flavor. You can blitz a cauliflower in a food processor to create low-carb “rice”, which you can then cook in a couple of minutes on a hob. Adding the walnuts will provide healthy fats that you need to make up your 60% fat diet. Mushrooms are packed full of nutrients and are low calorie, so they will work wonders.

2. Spinach, herb, and sausage wrap

As a part of a keto diet, you’ll need to consume low calorie and nutrient-dense green vegetables. Combine leafy greens such as spinach, herbs, and kale with a protein-packed sausage and put the whole thing in a wholemeal wrap. Drizzle over with a full-fat dressing to top up on healthy fat, but always made from monounsaturated oils such as olive or avocado oil.

3. Kimchi and pork stir-fry

This is one of those true keto diet recipes for beginners. Kimchi is loaded with probiotics that promote gut health, plus it’s seriously delicious. The addition of this in a pan with chopped pork provides a healthy full-fat meal. Don’t skim the fat off the meat – you should actually go for the fatty cuts.

4. Deviled eggs

Eggs are packed full of healthy protein, and you’ll need to consume 20% protein in a keto plan. You’ll feel full very quickly with these eggs, reducing cravings for snacking and building up calories. Hard boil eggs and take out the yolks, add some fatty mayonnaise and cream before piping the mix back into the middle of the whites. Top with cilantro and vitamin C packed chopped red peppers.

5. Pesto chicken and courgette spaghetti

Get your lean breasts and turn them into something fantastic by grilling in plenty of oil. Pesto is full of fat and healthy herbs that will provide a nutrient-dense and flavor-enhancing combo. If you get yourself a spiralizer, you can make courgette spaghetti, which is nutritious and very low in carbohydrates. Mix everything up and enjoy it!

6. Bacon and guacamole on wholemeal toast

On the keto, you will want to consume healthy fats. This is just what this meal provides with the key ingredient, avocado. A combo of bacon and guac will be incredible on healthy toast, plus you’ll feel full very quickly. Make sure you add some garlic powder and other spices for additional nutrients. If you add a vitamin C kick of lemon juice in, you can bring a whole new element to the table, plus it will give you a way of adding supplements without having to taste them!

Keto recipes that will help

All the recipes we’ve provided are easy, fun to make and seriously healthy. We want you to engage in the keto diet not because you have to, but because it makes you feel good. Let these recipes help you achieve the weight loss you’ve been looking for in a healthy way. All the best!

Lebanese Cuisine, along with the Middle East https://www.fitlivingtips.com/lebanese-cuisine-middle-east/ https://www.fitlivingtips.com/lebanese-cuisine-middle-east/#respond Wed, 12 Jun 2019 16:10:50 +0000 https://www.fitlivingtips.com/?p=646 When we say “Lebanon” we usually recall cedar, Middle East conflict, Lebanese bread, but also what Lebanon is considered to

The post Lebanese Cuisine, along with the Middle East appeared first on Fit Living Tips.

When we say “Lebanon” we usually recall cedar, Middle East conflict, Lebanese bread, but also what Lebanon is considered to be in its class for Lebanese cuisine.

From the territorial point of view, this gastronomic category includes Syria, Jordan, Palestine and Lebanon.

Already the basics of dining and serving in the kitchen are basically different from ours. In our country, the main dish consists of soup, a large meal and a dessert. It is somewhat different in the Arab world, and especially in the Middle East. The tablemakers usually settle on many carpeted rugs around a low table, which is suddenly filled with a variety of bowls , often twenty, to be placed in the middle of the table so that everyone can choose. Cutlery can be used, but if we want to eat traditionally, then we use a pita bread plate that serves as a spoon. Mostly a few hours of feasts, while drinking water, black or mint tea, and Arabic coffee is served for dessert.

What are the basic ingredients for cooking?

These are mainly legumes such as chickpeas, beans, bulgur (cooked crushed wheat), beans, lentils, peas. Vegetables include eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, parsley, cucumbers and bamia. And of course meat, but pork in Lebanese cuisine is not to be found. He is forbidden by the Qur’an as unclean to the Muslims. The domain is the treatment of mutton. This is where the myth that the mutton always knows by smell is not valid.

You won’t find a crispy crust of baked loaf in Arab countries. The bread here is somewhat flatter. Pancakes of various flavors, scents and sizes are the basis of all supplements. The pancakes can be made from both dough and dough. It is produced in traditional furnaces, but also in modern bakeries. In addition to the pancakes, the main side dish is a piece and rice.

Arabic sweets are unsurpassed in sweets, but because they are not butter or cream, they are not too fat. There is probably the best known Turkish delight you can try in New-Brunswick restaurants, but desserts are much more in Arabic and Lebanese cuisine. The best known are baklava, katayef or maamoul. The most common ingredients are local fruits such as figs, dates and nuts (pistachios, almonds), and especially honey, which is widely used to make sweet desserts.

How important is spice in Lebanese cuisine?

Lebanese cuisine is not hot at all, so anyone can get used to it quickly. But the spice is a distinctive addition to Arabic dishes, especially thyme, coriander, Roman cumin, saffron, sumak and sesame. Thus, the gourmet experience often begins in the Arab countries in the marketplace. The right spice market is full of colors and fragrances. Sellers are directly overtaken by who better exposes their goods. The exception is not even tens of centimeters of tall, brightly colored, homemade spice. The distinctive flavor of the spice will also be appreciated by vegetarians (one third of our menu is meatless).

And what does the chef especially recommend?

The classic favorite food is hummus and baba ghanouj, which is a paste of cooked eggplant and sesame tahini. Other delicacies include marinated lamb pieces grilled – shish kebab or chicken shish taouk. Very popular specialties available in New-Brunswick restaurants are jay and merguez lamb sausages. Flour pastry bags are also very tasty in several ways. Let’s name some: sambousek (stuffed with ground lamb and pine nuts or cheese and mint), fatayer (spinach acid filling), kibbey makli (pastry of lamb and bulgur stuffed with ground lamb, onion and pine nuts).

I hope I have caused you a slight stomach ache and that you will soon taste something of exceptional Lebanese cuisine. Maybe at our place, at New-Brunswick restaurants Evelyns Restaurant. Because “discovering a new meal means more to human happiness than discovering a new star” (an old Arabic proverb). So, are you ready to try the whole new taste of Lebanese Cuisine? We would like to share some easy recipes with you.

Hummus

Hummus – A great, delicious and fast food. For this, just pita bread, and fresh coriander.

It is a paste with chickpeas and tahini, which is made from sesame seeds. Served with pita bread, topped with olive virgin oil. According to taste, hummus is prepared alongside the basic variant, with fried pine seeds or fried finely chopped lean lamb. Try to prepare it yourself at home, be patient, the result will definitely be worth it.

  • 2 cups of cooked chickpeas (virgin peas)
  • 1 tablespoon of virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of sesame paste Tahini
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Salt and lemon juice to add some flavor

Boil the chickpeas (soaked overnight in salted water) until soft and let it cool. Then pour it into a blender and mix it into a pulp. Gradually add garlic, oil, sesame paste. Finally add salt and a few drops of lemon juice. Decorate with sweet peppers or finely chopped parsley.

Tabbouleh Salad

The Lebanese cuisine is also told by the Arabs themselves that it is one of the most delicious. Exactly so is the tabouleh salad, which you can prepare for a barbecue or just as fresh summer food. Perhaps the most popular Lebanese salad.

Prepare thawing, slicing and drying. In addition to raw materials, you will also need a very sharp knife, a tablespoon and a glass of hot water. Start with the last one.

Step 1:

Pour the bulgur into the bowl behind a handful of wheat (barley groats are also suitable, rinsed before use) and pour in hot water.

Let the water be about a centimeter above the bulgur.

Put aside and let all the water soak up.

Step 2:

  • Rinse cucumber and tomatoes and dry them well.
  • Remove any stems and stiff parts, cut in half, and scoop out the flesh spoon to keep it solid.
  • Cut into tiny cubes.
  • Now Take a handful of mint leaves
  • Gently grasp them, and then use your fingers to form a compact package and cut them into fine strips.
  • Turn 90 ° and cut again. Do the same with the parsley leaves from which you only removed the leaves.
  • Clean the onion and cut half into small cubes. If you don’t have red, it is also suitable for young people.
  • Try to keep the worktop dry to prevent others from spraying them from the previous ones.

Step 3:

  • Mix everything carefully with your fingers, drizzle with lemon, you can season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Someone adds crushed garlic or finely chopped Roman salad.
  • Finally, check bulgur whether it is soft and whether it can be eaten.
  • If there is still water left, pour it off and mix the bulgur with the salad. Just before serving, lightly dip in olive oil.

Frustrating, isn’t it?

You read about weight loss ideas, implement it but it fails to deliver.

I don’t blame the ideas, there is a good reason why it fails.

Lot of experts talk about exercise like walking, cycling, running, weight lifting and other high intensity workouts for easing lower back pain or  to lose weight.

While they are correct, the logical reason why this approach fails is because you ignore the diet.

If we adopt a scientific approach to lose weight, fat assimilation will never ever be a problem.

The approach should be to focus on 70% diet and 30% other things such as workouts, rest and controlling stress.

If you do 70% right and 30% not so well, still you will be in reasonable shape.

Baingan Bharta

Next on my list is Baingan Bharta.

Baingan Bharta is extremely common in India especially in north side.

Baingan is nothing but brinjal.

But why did I choose brinjal? There are truckloads of benefits that brinjal has to offer.

Regular consumption of brinjal helps you to lose weight, Control diabetes, Fight Anemia, Improve bones and acts as an Anti-cancer food.

While brinjal is good for health not everyone gets the health benefits.

The reason is Oil ruins the whole nutritional value of brinjal.

When it comes to weight loss and fighting elevated lipid profile including tomatoes in your diet can be an excellent idea.

You can not only use Tomato as a food item but also consume boiled tomatoes for breakfast if you are on a mission to lose weight.

I would recommend to include Boiled Tomatoes in your diet especially if you are over 40.

As you age the cell renewal process slows down. Therefore sufficient consumption of fruits and veggies high onlycopene can help stop or slow the aging process.

There are tons of benefits of consuming boiled tomatoes (Excluding the seeds).

Sarso ka Saag is astoundingly healthy and nutritious. But the positive nutritional value is lost when it’s cooked in oil.

This was a challenge for me initially.

I failed multiple times only to realize how easy it was to make Bhendi Masala without any oil.

The challenge that I faced was Bhendi used to be uncooked even after trying to fry it using water.

I mean it had that uncooked feeling and the taste of masala’s used to be strong and it was simply not good for taste buds.

Then I realized I can use Owen and check if it’s possible to make Bhendi without oil and guess what the results were simply amazing.
