We have been on a constant battle with our weight. We
both feel if we lose couple of stones, we’ll look and feel much greater. Somehow
this realization strikes in front of the scale and seem to disappear in front
of food. Hence we are on a constant battle.
Some time back I used to have notebook jotting down everything
that went inside and calorie counting, rigorous exercise and having soups and
stews for dinner. But after having soups very regularly I’ve lost appetite for
them. I’m bored doing the same type of exercise repeatedly. Now I’m looking for
new suggestions to help me conquer my weight. (All your suggestions are most welcome)
My DH still likes taking soups for dinner. This is one
of soups I made for him. It had to be mildly spicy for which I added coriander
and chili powder, tanginess from juicy pulp of tomatoes, and of course wholesome
- by adding three type of legumes i.e. red lentils, Black beans and Garbanzo
beans. You can try it out with your own preferred legumes.
Legumes are a good source of protein for vegetarians.
They are low in fat, good source of fiber, and are rich in vitamins and
minerals. It’s always recommended that vegetarians combine legumes because one
legume can compensate certain type of protein lacking in other and vice versa.
