Celery gained popularity among the authors of diets and weight loss systems for a reason. It is an extremely low calorie vegetable. A large stalk of fresh celery contains only 10 calories. When cooked, this figure increases slightly, but still does not exceed 30 calories. Pretty good considering it's about 2% of your daily calorie intake. In addition, celery is rich in fiber, which is very important for those who want to lose weight, and also in vitamins.
But will this dish help you lose those hated kilograms? The soup itself is a great option for the menu. But one celery is not enough for the body. You can add chicken or lean beef, whole grain pasta or brown rice, and other vegetables to it. Thus, you can cook various healthy soups.
Cabbage, cucumber and celery salad
In addition, you can safely lose weight only by reducing your daily calorie intake. If you eat celery soup for lunch and pizza for dinner, alas, there will be no proper effect. But to enter such a soup on the menu for weight loss is really worth it. It is tasty, healthy and low in calories.
It's easy to make a light celery soup for lunch.
We will need:
Celery stalk - 5 pcs.; Bulb - 1 pc.; Potato - 1 pc.; Chicken fillet - 120 g; Salt, herbs, spices - to taste.
First, send the washed and cut into small pieces potatoes into a pot of water. Cook over medium heat for about 7 minutes. After that, put the chopped fillet, onion and celery. Add salt to taste and your favorite spices. Boil the soup for 15 minutes until vegetables and chicken are fully cooked. Remove from heat, drain excess liquid into a cup and send everything to a blender. Grind to a puree state, adding the broth. You should get the consistency of 15% sour cream. That's it, the celery soup is ready to serve.
And remember that safe weight loss is a long process that requires not only a review of nutrition, but also changes in lifestyle. Drink more water, walk or exercise more often, and eat healthy foods. And the long-awaited numbers on the scales will definitely appear.
