Weight Loss through Food

Weight Loss through Food !!!!

Have you ever imagined that one could loose his/her weight through food intake, well yes it’s true? I will share to best of my knowledge of how one can reduce weight. First of all I would say while one starts his/her day to drink plenty of water  , thereafter reduction in consumption of oily food for a period of time , Eating fruits – fruits can boost your energy as well as give the needed nutrients n minerals n energy too . Try to consume fruits on times while you used to consume fried food. Even fruit juices make a lot of difference in body mechanism. In fact fruit juices are more advantageous than eating fruits. by having a regularly time period for consuming food , say if you have break fast  at 9 am , then have it at 9 am on regular basis . Try to have dinner at 7; it helps in digesting the food soon so that when you sleep your body also relaxes.

This is a natural tip given by me to best of my knowledge if you have any natural tips on weight losses please do share them and make other aware of natural remedies.

How to boil Potato

Things needed to boil a potato:

1. Pressure cooker
2. Potato
3. salt

Method:

Using a pressure cooker is best for boiling anything , and also time saving usually we see many recipes and we as beginners never know the exact boiling time of potato or any other ingredient so today i will tell u how long will it take to boil a potato so that it can be mashed properly later .

First take pressure cooker - add the potatoes (unpeeled)(if potatoes are bigger in size cut them into halves)
now fill water up to the level of potato or slightly low to it add a pinch of salt (why salt is added for boiling potato instead of adding while cooking?) this question comes to every beginner .it is because adding salt during boiling makes the potato suck salt completely . now once you seal the pressure cooker keep it on high flame , once u get the first whistle slow down the flame and keep for 5 mins , and switch off the flame ... and keep the pressure cooker to cool by itself .after cooling open it you will get perfect boiled potatoes....
