Weight loss menu

The menu for weight loss should contain few calories, being based mainly on foods with low caloric concentration, such as fruits, vegetables, juices, soups and teas.

In addition, the weight-loss menu should also include fiber-rich, whole foods such as oat bran and brown rice because the fibers help to decrease appetite and facilitate weight loss, as well as thermogenic foods such as cinnamon and green tea, because they increase the metabolism and facilitate the burning of fat.
