Moong dal : The bean sprouts are rich in Vitamin A, B, C and E and many minerals, such as
calcium, iron and potassium. It is recommended as a food replacement in many slimming
programmes, as it has a very low fat content. It is a rich source of protein and fibre, which
helps lower blood cholesterol level. The high fibre content yields complex carbohydrates, which
aid digestion, are effective in stabilising blood sugar and prevent its rapid rise after meal
consumption.

Honey : It is a home remedy for obesity. It mobilises the extra fat deposits in the body
allowing it to be utilised as energy for normal functions. One should start with about 10 grams
or a tablespoon, taken with hot water early in the morning.

Buttermilk : It is the somewhat sour, residual fluid that is left after butter is churned. The
probiotic food contains just 2.2 grams of fat and about 99 calories, as compared to whole milk
that contains 8.9 grams fat and 157 calories. Regular intake provides the body with all essential
nutrients and does not add fats and calories to the body. It is thus helpful in weight loss.

try eating, raw ginger , garlic, fenugreek seeds, (methi), cumin seeds ect. remember RAW. I know they taste
terrible, but it can be great for ur health. Just try each one on alternate days. like a bitter medicine. No need to
waste ur time cooking, or soaking it in water , just chew for 10 seconds and down it with a class of water. These
things are cheap, easy to get, have good shelf life.
