Very often, having decided to radically change our way of life, including our appearance, we rush into the embrace of the most rigid diet, with the most tasteless (but useful!) Ingredients, and we firmly believe that it will save us. But what happens the next day? Enthusiasm passed, and the grumbling in his stomach only intensified. Your body in every possible way protests against dinner, consisting of boiled carrots and green peas, and everything else was added to the whining of the second "I" - "all the same you will not get anything, so at least you can eat normally humanly."
Let's talk about what it means to "eat humanly" and try, with the help of recipes for simple low-calorie dishes, to bring the "hunger-diet" confrontation to the stage of negotiations and the signing of a peace treaty.
Soups
As you know, the crown component of all low-calorie dishes for weight loss are most often seafood. We will not lag behind fashion and we will also prepare a low-calorie first dish with shellfish, although it is not lean and not "hungry", but very nourishing and festive.
Dietary soup with clams
Ingredients:
- potatoes - 2 pieces;
- onions - 1 pc .;
- carrots - ½ pcs .;
- rapeseed oil - 1 tbsp;
- tomatoes canned - 1 can (about 800 ml);
- shellfish canned - 1 can (about 300 ml);
- vegetable juice acute - 1 cup;
- tomato paste - 1 tbsp;

Preparation
Potatoes, onions, carrots are cleaned and chopped - potatoes and onions in small cubes, carrot strips. In a 3-liter saucepan, we put rapeseed oil and pour out the vegetables , roast and fill with water so as to cover all the ingredients.
Cook for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables are ready.
Mix the vegetable juice, tomato paste, spices . Pour into a saucepan and bring to a boil. We add canned tomatoes with liquid, and also mollusks. Bring to a boil, reduce the fire to a minimum, cover with a lid and allow to boil for about 15 minutes.
Remove the soup from the fire, take the laurel leaves and sprinkle with herbs. Covering the lid, let us brew for several hours.
Dessert
From what, from what, so from desserts we do not expect any "low calorie". And here it is in vain! Now you will see this in the example of a diet low-calorie dish - orange jelly.
Orange jelly
Ingredients:
- oranges - 4 pcs .;
- orange juice - 1 glass;
- red gelatin - 4-5 plates;
- apple juice with pulp - 1 glass.
Preparation
Oranges are cleaned from the peel, including, and from white, put the flesh in a blender and pee. Meanwhile, heat the orange juice, and the plates with gelatin soak in water. Dissolve the squeezed gelatin in orange juice and pour in a thin stream into orange puree. There we add apple juice. We pour out on the molds and put it before cooling in the refrigerator.
