The secret to losing weight? The meat broth

Green + Soup While we are struggling to understand how to lose those two, three, five or ten kilos in view of the summer and the first skimpy t-shirts , abroad we return to talk about a key food for losing weight, which many bloggers and nutritionists they recommend both to lose a few pounds and to restore intestinal well-being and optimize our daily protein intake. The meat broth. Indeed, to be more specific, the bone broth, that is a meat broth obtained by boiling only the bones of the animal and if possible a little cartilage. If you are a vegetarian it will make you sick and, well, this whole article is not for you. If you are omnivorous (or as I have heard “carnivores” around), then stay the same. As I wrote talking about food gelatin , broth made from meat or animal bones, usually beef (indeed, it is the recommended option), is a panacea for those who want to restore digestion and lose weight . In addition to being very cheap if you know a trusted butcher. I summarize the advantages:
– Bone broth contains proteins, amino acids and collagen with very few calories:bones release all these substances into the broth, making it a very useful food for those who want to introduce more protein into their diet in a healthy way. One serving of beef broth gives us up to twenty grams of protein. Collagen is also very useful for the skin. – bone broth is a perfect food for postmenopausal women: it fights osteoporosis and arthrosis, I’ll explain why in point three. – the proteins and amino acids present in the bone broth are easily assimilated: this makes them very easy to digest for our body and useful in counteracting bone demineralization. – bone broth favors the good bacteria of the microbiota.

According to nutritionists who are attentive to the intestinal diet, bone broth is one of the key foods to nourish the good bacteria in our microbiota and thus make us leaner and stronger.
– bone broth is an excellent remineralizer (it is rich in mineral salts!) And restores the electrolyte balance. For this reason it is useful in fighting even cellulite and swelling.
Weight loss is due both to this intestinal benefit and to the supply of easily usable proteins and amino acids for our body, which regulate us and increase our metabolism because they help the immune system . All this with few calories : about 150 for a nice cup of broth.
Apart from beef and pork, bone broth can also be made with fish bones and their heads, but meat broth is more nutritious.
How to do it?The bones must be of excellent quality: it is therefore necessary to contact a butcher, and avoid intensively farmed meats. The bouillon cube should not be added: the bone broth must be one hundred percent genuine in order to be useful for the figure and intestines. The bones must be cooked in plenty of water, to which we can add various herbs and vegetables: excellent onion and garlic, carrots and celery, a tomato without the peel, whole salt and a spoonful of apple cider vinegar which favors the assimilation of the substances broth and makes its proteins even more digestible, then at the end of cooking parsley and chopped herbs. Some people add whole eggs (complete with shell) to the boiling of the bones, to enrich the calcium broth (the eggs can then be drained and eaten hard-boiled: Last but not least: the fat!
You need to add a tablespoon of oil to increase the assimilability of the amino acids present in the bones, but fat cuts from the same animal are also fine. After cooked, the broth can be filtered and frozen, and even eaten two or three times a week.
