summer weight loss
No cook summer meals with fibre rich legumes A good source of protein in the summer can be provided by using organic beans which you can buy pre cooked or canned.
Lentils
Lentils are rich in soluble fibre, which detoxifies the body and stabilises blood glucose levels. they add a hearty flavour to salads, sides and make great veggie burgers. 26% of the calories in lentils comes from protein, making them a great choice for vegetarians,
It is best to combine them with whole grains like brown rice to make a complete protein.
Chickpeas
These beans have long being known for their fibre content with 75% of the fibre being insoluble. Coming from the Middle East, this bean is used in dishes such as hummus and curries.
Black beans
Can be used as an alternative to Kidney beans, the taste is hearty and most people find that it is a good replacement in chili and bean salads. black beans help lower cholesterol and keep blood sugar levels from rising to fast after a meal. A prime reason to add this bean to your diet is that it offers high levels of antioxidants. Antioxidants help us destroy free radicals (damaging molecules inside the body), and when eaten on a regular basis have been shown to offer protection against heart disease, cancer and aging.
