In Nigeria, there is always complaining going on, and you hear people saying or asking questions like, "How can I keep fit?" The only foods I see around me are heavy foods that will not help me stay fit or maintain a healthy weight. Well, that is not the case because Nigerians have lots of healthy fruits and meals. It is all about how you prepare your meal, and this is the standard all over the world.
Let's take, for example, rice, which is a food eaten in every country in the world, but the pattern of preparation varies, and that's what makes a great taste and cultural difference. which is why I will be sharing foods that people living in Nigeria can frequently eat during weight loss. Here are some foods you can eat frequently while losing weight.
Potatoes: The potato is a root vegetable native to the Americas that is a starchy tuber of the plant Solanum tuberosum. The plant is a perennial in the Solanaceae family. You can eat boiled, grilled, or roasted potatoes during weight loss.
Hanke Fish is popularly known as "Panla" in Nigeria. This fish contains 78 calories and 18 grammes of protein, which helps boost your metabolism during weight loss.
Oilless Okra or Okro Soup
In Nigeria, okro soup is prepared in a variety of ways, but using palm oil is one of the most popular methods. To lose weight, you have to prepare your okra soup without oil because 1 tablespoon of oil contains 120 calories. Using oil to prepare okra soup makes it high in calories.
Bean Porridge.
I love eating beans, especially the ones prepared with palm oil and plantains, but to reduce calories, prepare your beans with very little oil or no oil because beans are a complex carb that is healthy and nutritious and keeps you full for a longer period of time, making you less hungry.
Pepper soup
Pepper does the magic, and this is so true. You can prepare your pepper soup with catfish or any other low-calorie protein.
