Oat Bran Tabouleh

Speed up your weight loss with oat bran tabouleh.

A "joker" dish in case your motivation drops.

You are on a diet and would like to speed up you weight loss. You've reached a bit of a plateau and your motivation isn't quite as high. Try this solution -- tabouleh is often prepared as a cold couscous with a few vegetables and lots of olive oil. Real tabouleh, Lebanese tabouleh, has very little bulgur wheat but loads of parsley. This is what I am suggesting you try: finely chop a bunch of parsley, half a bunch of cilantro and half a bunch of mint. Dice one small onion and one tomato and add the juice of one lemon. Mix it all together in a large bowl and keep this in the fridge. When you are about to serve the tabouleh add two table spoons of oat bran. Try it at lunchtime 2 to 3 days per week and you'll discover why parsley is the most sought after plant, full of carotene and natural vitamin C.
