Enjoying Meals and Staying Slim


Enjoying Meals and Staying Slim

It is not only possible but also realistic to enjoy your meals and stay slim at the same time.  There are many ways of losing weight, but most are difficult in real life.  Losing weight by fasting is possible, but dangerous in practice.  Losing weight by following a strict diet is possible, but unrealistic because you eventually get sick of it and will quit.

There are ways by which foods may be mixed to please the mouth without overnourishing the stomach.  This is called the art of cooking.  Soups are an excellent example of mixing foods which will be pleasing to the taste and not overnourish.  The Chinese excel in this practice - mushroom, chicken, beef, egg, pork, fish or clam soup.  Soups are delicious and will also help you lose weight.  The quality of foods not their quantity really contributes to your gaining weight.  For example, 1 pound of beef (450g) is certainly different from 100 g.  Eating 1 pound of beef will put on more weight than eating 100 g and drinking soups will make you consume less food without sacrificing your enjoyment of good meals.  100 gram of beef may seem like a small quantity when used for a beefsteak, but when making soup, its quantity is significantly increased.
To make beef soup, cut up 100 g of beef into small pieces; place in a bowl, add a little wine and five small slices of fresh ginger and an adequate amount of water.  Simmer the soup over low heat for an hour.  This will make a delicious beef soup.  Or you can steam the ingredients for 2 hours.  This beef soup will not put on weight.  On the contrary it will make you lose weight and stay slim.  Moreover, this beef soup contains wine and ginger, which act upon many internal organs.
Soups promote good health.
Beef soup is good for weakness and anemia.
Chicken soup is good for fatigue and neuroasthemia.
Mung bean soup is good for inflammation of the internal organs.
Mushroom soup is good for weak liver.
Clam soup is good for hypertension.
