Chili Diet
Chili pepper is a great helper for those who are struggling with extra pounds. Hot pepper melts fat cells, increasing the body’s energy consumption for digesting food. Hot spices do not allow you to eat a lot, respectively, the number of calories consumed is sharply reduced. The active substances of chili pepper, which give it a burning taste, enhance the metabolism in the body, which contributes to the better blood supply.
This diet is based on the use of tomato soup with the addition of hot pepper. Tomato soup should be eaten once a day – for lunch or dinner. For the duration of the diet, exclude sweets, flour products from the diet, and reduce salt intake. Try to eat more citrus fruits, cucumbers, and tomatoes.
The perfect combination of boiled tomatoes (lycopene) and chili (capsaicin) makes tomato soup incredibly healthy. Lycopene – a pigment that gives tomatoes red color, reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer. Capsaicin thins the blood, improves blood circulation, tones the nervous system, and increases potency.
To make tomato soup, fry 2-3 chopped onions, and 2 tbsp. l chili puree until soft. Add 1 kg of peeled and chopped fresh tomatoes, 1 can (250 ml) of canned tomatoes in your juice, 700 ml of vegetable broth, 4 tbsp. tablespoons of fresh basil and season to taste. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes. Beat everything in a blender or rub through a sieve. Pour into a pan, heat, and serve with chili sauce.
