What can you do with these ingredients and make them into fat burning food?





Eggs, chilli sauce, broccoli, skim milk and a slice of wholemeal bread. What can you do with these to make a nutritious meal or snack while you're losing weight ?

Simple, follow this simple recipe:

Beat eggs and add 1/4 cup skim milk (or alternative soy milk), mix until combined.

Chop tomatoes and add to mixture.


Cut small florets of broccoli and put into a small plastic bag with a small amount of water. Place the plastic bag into a microwave safe bowl and place in the microwave. Cook on high for 1 1/2 minutes or until the broccoli is firm but soft. The broccoli should still retain it's bright green color.

Add the broccoli to the mixture. Add 1 heaped teaspoon of mild (hot - if you like hot chilli sauce) chilli sauce to the mixture.

When all ingredients are combined, heat 1 teaspoon of virgin olive oil in a frying pan.

Add the egg mixture to the frying pan and cook on moderate heat. Turn the heat off just as the egg mixture is 3/4 solidified and let it sit on the burner for a few minutes to allow the mixture to solidify fully without becoming dried out.

Food such as chilli's that contain a food chemical called capsaicin is said to increase your body's metabolism and when used in a balanced diet could help in making your weight loss goals a reality.
