Some time ago I started on the path of healthy eating. It has given me so many benefits to my health, that today I want to share with you a recipe that I found the easiest and whose result is simply amazing. And the best thing is that wheat flour is not used, which makes it ideal for those who seek to reduce the consumption of carbohydrates.
First of all, it is necessary to mention that before starting any change in diet it is necessary to consult your doctor. No diet is a miracle, and there are no secrets. If we want to lose weight and take care of our health, we only have to reduce the consumption of processed food and choose the foods that nourish our bodies.
The Fashion Boom: Eating Without Flour
In recent decades, flours and products derived from it have been demonized. And while carbohydrates are necessary for the body, there is a great deal of confusion around them and many people have turned to keto or "low carbs" diets, where flours and starches are practically non-existent.
However, the reality is that carbohydrates are necessary for our body, but not so the refined products that are made with them. For example, chickpeas, rice, potatoes have a reputation for "fattening", being that they are extremely beneficial and necessary for the body.
The idea of a healthy diet is not to eat without flour, but to eat balanced. Eating a plate of pasta or rice is not a sin, but it can be harmful if it is the only thing you eat every day, without including other foods such as vegetables, fruits, and proteins in your diet.
But You Are Here For The Recipe
I don't want to keep going around, so let's get to the point. The recipe that I share with you today is one of those that you will want to repeat over and over again. It is from Eliana Flores, a fitness influencer who provides tips for a healthier life. These are two small rolls made with oatmeal and cornmeal, which you can use both for your snacks and for your main meals.
Oat Bread:
Ingredients:
- -40 grams of oatmeal
- -1 pinch of salt
- -½ teaspoon baking powder
- -A splash of water
- -1 egg white
- -Optional: sesame seeds
Procedure:
We mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Add a splash of water so that it has a pasty consistency.
We beat the egg white to the point of snow and we incorporate it into the previous mixture, with enveloping movements.
Cook the preparation in a previously oiled pan. When you dump the batter, it should be able to spread throughout the pan (that is, it shouldn't be too hard).
Optional: sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the bun.
Corn Bread
Note: these buns are also known as “arepas” in many Latin American countries.
Ingredients:
- -40 grams of cornflour
- -1 pinch of salt
- - A whole egg
Procedure:
Add the egg to the dry ingredients.
Mix well and it should be a firm consistency.
We form a bun.
We crush the bun between two sheets of plastic wrap so that a tortilla or disk is assembled.
We take it to the pan and cook on both sides.
Eating Rich And Healthy Is Not Impossible
You will have seen how quickly and easily you can bring a homemade and healthy product to your table. These recipes are valid for people looking to reduce the consumption of wheat flour in their diets. However, we must bear in mind that the real secret is to take care of the proportions.
At first, it is difficult to "detoxify" from all the foods that our brain asks of us. Cakes, pizzas, hamburgers, soft drinks, salty snacks. All of these processed products are full of sodium and chemicals that ask our bodies to eat more and more.
Therefore, to take care of our body, the fundamental thing is to make that necessary "click", fill ourselves with willpower and really want to take that step.
I Tell You My Experience
In the last few months, I lost 13 kilos (specifically, I managed to lose them in 4 months). My secret was three things: intermittent fasting, controlling your proportions, and choosing healthy foods.
At first, it was hard to get used to my body. I started by outright cutting out ultra-processed products and making healthier food choices. When I used to have breakfast with sweet cookies, now I do it with yogurt with chia seeds and nuts.
Every day I eat at least one egg and vegetables are never lacking. I realized that my previous diet was based on carbohydrates, so I could not lose weight.
It's Never Too Late To Start
I encourage you to take that first step on that path of changing the habits of your life to feel good. It will never be too late to start. The important thing is that you do not get discouraged, because the important thing is not the speed at which you advance, but that you are already on the road. !! Congratulations!!
