Weight Loss Tips

  • Try not to fry vegetables. It is better to steam, stew, or boil. At the same time, eat at least four fresh vegetables or fruits a day.

  • Use spray cooking oil when you fry food. It will help you to use less oil for cooking.

  • Canned legumes and corn are a great alternative to raw beans, peas, and corn. To cook dried beans by yourself, you must soak them in water at least six hours before you start cooking them and boil them for at least 40 minutes afterward.
