Zucchini soup - dietary recipe

How to prepare diet soup? Very simple! To do this, you just need to follow simple rules:

We prepare the soup not with meat broth, but with vegetable broth. Carrots, onions and a stalk of celery are ideal for this broth. Just clean and wash the vegetables, add water, add salt and black pepper and cook for about 20 minutes. We make an excellent base for any dietary soup!
Instead of potatoes, which are quite high in calories, it is best to add zucchini to the soup! It is ideal for creamed soup.
We replace heavy cream or butter, which are most often used for preparing such dishes, with a couple of tablespoons of any vegetable oil. Grapeseed or olive oil would be ideal!

Now that you know all the intricacies, let's move on to the fastest and simplest recipe:

1.5 liters of vegetable broth.
2 medium young zucchini. Wash, cut and cut into thin rings.
Leek. It is this type of onion that will make the squash puree soup tender. Separate the leaves and cut into rings.
2 tablespoons grape seed oil.
Salt and pepper to taste.

Place the oil and leeks in a thick-bottomed pan and fry a little. Then add the zucchini and fry a little more so that the vegetables release their juice. Pour in vegetable broth, add salt and pepper and cook for 20 minutes. Then beat with a blender.

Zucchini PP caviar - dietary recipe

Most people naively believe that when losing weight, you can include absolutely any vegetable caviar in your diet. Such beliefs are based on the fact that all vegetables contain a tiny amount of calories, which means the product itself will be exclusively dietary. Alas, this is not true. One of the ingredients for preparing vegetable caviar is vegetable oil, and the calorie content of this product is about 900 calories per 100 grams! During the frying process, vegetables absorb oil very strongly, thereby increasing the calorie content of the finished product. You need to treat vegetable caviar very carefully if you want to lose weight. If you buy ready-made caviar, be sure to study the label and choose the lowest calorie one. If you cook yourself, then the best way is to completely avoid vegetable oil! As a last resort, you can add one or two tablespoons to the finished product!

The benefits and harms of zucchini

Zucchini is one of the most common vegetables consumed for weight loss. There are several reasons for this, and all of them are directly related to its unique qualities:

zucchini improves digestive processes, normalizing metabolism;
it is one of the lowest calorie plant foods;
zucchini contains a number of useful chemical elements, vitamins and acids;
zucchini dishes have a gentle effect on the walls of the stomach;
The undeniable property of zucchini for weight loss is that it cleanses the body, ridding it of waste and toxins;
this product gives a feeling of fullness for a long time, which leads to a decrease in appetite;
In addition to its benefits for weight loss, zucchini also has a beneficial effect on the nervous system, preventing the development of atherosclerosis and strengthening the walls of blood vessels.

Zucchini is recommended for dietary nutrition for people of any age, because they have virtually no contraindications. And those negative aspects that exist relate only to eating the vegetable raw:

in acute and chronic kidney diseases, zucchini can be harmful because it provokes frequent urination, thereby loading the kidneys themselves and removing potassium from the body;
raw zucchini can irritate the gastric mucosa, so it is not recommended for people suffering from peptic ulcers or gastritis.
