The slimming soup to replace lunch
A slimming soup but nutritionally balanced, ideal as a meal replacement for the winter, very simple to make, and to be done for at least a week as a quick detox to lose 1-2 kilos .
The recipe comes from renowned Indian doctor Shikha Sharma, director of the Indian NutriHealth clinic and author of two weight loss bestsellers, including 101 Tips for Weight Loss.
It is a soup of legumes and vegetables, which can be varied by choosing different options from the list of ingredients and combining them. The soup should be replaced at lunch , and accompanied by a deflating herbal tea with fennel seeds or detoxifying with gentian or burdock. The rest of the day however, you should eat normally, and not eat more.
So the slimming soup works if we don’t eat more than usual for the rest of the day but follow the usual food routine. For example, breakfast unchanged, lunch with slimming soup, dinner with a second protein plus vegetables and a little bread or fruit, snacks as usual. Let’s see the recipe.
