Hello dear friends, I'm a little gecko. It's my habit to use simple words to introduce delicious food. Today, I would like to share with you a special experience - how I not only satisfied my taste buds through three days of soup, but also managed to lose 3 pounds of weight! This is not just a weight loss story, but also an exploration of the integration of food and life.
During this three-day food trip, I deeply experienced the flavors of different soups and felt the breadth and profundity of Chinese food culture. Every day, I try different cooking methods to turn ordinary ingredients into mouth-watering soups.
Day 1: Shrimp and tofu soup
This soup is light and delicious, and the tenderness of the shrimp meat is complemented by the smoothness of the tofu. The production method is also simple: first remove the shell and intestine puree of the fresh shrimp, and cut the tofu into pieces for later use. Add water to a boil in a pot, add ginger slices, green onion segments and shrimp shells to cook until umami is brought out, then remove. Add the shrimp and tofu, simmer over low heat, and season with salt and white pepper.
Day 2: Chicken broth with miscellaneous mushrooms
This soup combines the richness of chicken with the aroma of various mushrooms. Method: Blanch the whole chicken into pieces to remove the blood, and wash the miscellaneous mushrooms (such as shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, etc.) for later use. Add water to a boil in a pot, add chicken pieces, ginger slices and green onions and cook until the chicken is cooked through, then add miscellaneous bacteria to continue to simmer, and finally season.
Day 3: Crucian carp tofu soup
The deliciousness of crucian carp and the tenderness of tofu are perfectly expressed in this soup. Method: Fry the crucian carp until golden brown on both sides, add enough water and ginger slices, bring to a boil over high heat, turn to low heat and simmer. When the fish broth turns white, add the chopped tofu, continue to simmer until flavorful, and finally add salt to taste.
In addition to these main soups, I also tried some ancillary cooking methods to make my three-day culinary journey even more colorful:
1. Steamed vegetables: In order to maintain a balanced nutrition, I chose carrots, broccoli and other vegetables for steaming, which not only retains the nutrition of the vegetables, but also increases the taste of the soup.
2. Cook whole grains: In the process of weight loss, it is very important to keep the intestines open. I chose whole grains such as red beans, mung beans, and black beans to cook and eat them with soup, which is both healthy and delicious.
3. Homemade low-calorie sauces: In order to avoid the intake of high-calorie seasonings, I made homemade low-calorie sauces, such as those made with lemon juice, vinegar, low-fat yogurt, etc., to make the soup more delicious.
4. Fruit salad: After the meal, I will choose some low-sugar fruits to make a salad, such as blueberries, strawberries, etc., which not only satisfies the desire for sweets, but also helps digestion.
5. Green tea and honey water: During the three-day slimming process, I insisted on drinking green tea and honey water, which helps to detoxify and nourish the skin, and can also enhance the feeling of satiety.
6. Grilled vegetable slices: As a pre-dinner snack, I choose to cut carrots, cucumbers and other vegetables into thin slices and roast them, which is both healthy and delicious.
7. Boiled eggs and chicken breast: In order to supplement protein, I also boiled eggs and chicken breast as complementary foods and served them with soup.
8. Nuts and dried fruits: When I feel hungry, I choose to eat some nuts and dried fruits, which can not only replenish energy, but also avoid overeating.
During this three-day food tour, I not only enjoyed a variety of delicious soups, but also learned how to turn ordinary ingredients into mouth-watering delicacies. At the same time, through a reasonable diet, I successfully lost 3 pounds of weight, which made me more confident and healthy.
Sisters who want to lose weight, hurry up! Don't be afraid that food and weight loss can't be both, as long as we choose ingredients reasonably and master scientific cooking methods, we can maintain a healthy and slim figure while enjoying food.
Finally, I would like to say that everyone's body and tastes are unique, and we need to make a suitable diet plan according to our actual situation. I hope my sharing can bring you some inspiration and help, let's continue to explore and move forward on the road of food and health together!
Pay attention to the little geckos, and the delicious recipes will not be endless. Let's follow the footsteps of food together and enjoy the beauty of life!
