The key to crispy kabobs
To allow the fruits to caramelize slightly, but not soften and remain crisp, do not cook them longer than directed.
Yogurt, lemon and cinnamon against fat accumulation
Eating yogurt daily while following a diet helps you lose body fat, especially in the abdomen. Calcium, and especially that of dairy products, has an “anti-obesity” effect by preventing fat from accumulating uncontrollably in adipose cells. Choose it skimmed, with the same calcium but less calories.
According to natural medicine, lemon exerts a detoxifying action on the liver. This makes it perform its functions better, including digesting and burning fat.
Taking cinnamon increases body temperature and helps improve digestion. According to a study by the University of Maryland (USA), consuming 1⁄4 tablespoon of cinnamon a day speeds up metabolism up to 20 times, which means a greater expenditure of calories.
