Eggplant Recipe for Weight Loss

Eggplant, the slimming plant

A little slimming secret that is effective and tasty.

Eggplants contain an extremely important substance: pectin, this is also what gives apples their nutritional value. When pectin reaches the digestive tract, it forms a gel which is very similar to the jelly in apple jam. This gel has the capacity to stick to everything around it and traps sugars, fats and even proteins in the intestinal tract (i.e. it traps calories). These calories that stick to the pectin leave the body in our stools. Apple pectin is therefore valuable but it can't be separated from its sugar whereas eggplants only have 22 calories per 100 grams. Would you like another secret within the secret? Take a large eggplant, insert 4 or 5 garlic cloves and bake it in the oven until its skin starts to turn red. Take it out and cut it in half like an avocado and with a small spoon scoop out the flesh and enjoy!
