Did you know that some kitchen appliances could help you loose weight?

To loose weight is not always an easy one especially if you are obese. You need to be patient , disciplined and be committed to the cause if you want to shed some weight.
To loose weight we have to cut down on all unhealthy foods that we take and also exercise.
Researches have it that once we start eating healthy, a greater percentage of the work has been done compared to only exercising and at the same time still eating unhealthy foods.
There are a lot of things involved in loosing weight but we will limit it to the kitchen appliances for the purpose of this post .
We always preach that we eat the following healthy foods

  1. Lots of vegetables and fruits
  2. More protein 
  3. Less carbohydrates
  4. Cut down on fried foods and cholesterol laden foods
  5. Lots of water
  6. Reduce the amount of refined foods we take.
It could be exhausting to start making all these foods especially if your job is so time consuming. This will make you to always visit the fast foods to get your food. The following kitchen appliances will reduce the time it will take to prepare the food , there by adhering to the rules of loosing weight

  • Pressure cooker; Like we said that you should take more proteins if you are really in for loosing weight. Sources of proteins are enormous like milk, beans, eggs, meat , fish etc. The pressure cooker will be used to cook the beans and other legumes. In 20 - 30 mins the beans will done depending on  the species unlike when you use your cooking pot on a stove or gas cooker which will take you forever to get done.

  • Food processor ; We talked about vegetables as part of the list of foods to include in our healthy diet. Chopping vegetables like cabbage, carrots, etc could be tiring sometimes. You have to get the chopping board, the knife and then start chopping them one after the other. But with the food processor all you need is power and your finger  and the vegetables are ready in few seconds to minutes.
