finally throw oregano and turn off.Serve hot..

NOTES

It is my very own recipe.which I tried with my own Idea..

The reason behind writing "Loss 1 kg in one week" is,cabbage one if the finest vegetable for weight loss.Soups helps us to loss weight easily more tahn the other dishes.

When I came to know this point,tried this soup and had it..Its yummy when tastes hot and feels tummy filling..

If you want to lose weight take this soup daily once or twice by mixing other vegetables once at a time and have it..Also,you should drink water 3-4 litres,take fruits except banana and avocado.One more important point,physical work.Like,exercise,walking,jogging etc..

Along with this I took fruits,lots of water,very less rice and went for walking for 4 Km daily..I lossed 1 kg in one week.

Believe me.It`s workouts...You need self confidence,control on tongue and poitive thought.Definitely you can achieve...

Fruit salads may take time to make,but it`s worth trying recipes to enjoy the deliciousness of fresh fruits..After a very long time I prepared this salad and totally it`s wonderful in taste...Do we need any thing other food when we have already a big bowl of fruit salad in front of us??Definitely I says no...Buying all kind of fruits regularly is DH frailty and he loves salad madly..Before kids I was very patience to make salads but now,with my two filthy kids Iam totally exhausted to make salads which need time to chop all the fruits.I have already posted my favorite recipe which is a combination of cream...It was a my favorite fruit salad recipe,but due to presence of cream I feel that it was heavy in calories,so,this time I decided to try a new combination. Last week after seeing different fruits in kitchen thought to try a salad.The same day,squeezed out  orange juice,so using that juice I tried this salad in the evening time.It is very easy to make,except chopping fruits,there was no calories in this.It is sweet n tangy in taste because of mixed fruits and honey..For flavor I added mint leaves which perfectly suits in fruit salad recipes and for crunchiness added sliced almond flakes.Try this next time when you have fruits in home or if you are in diet..A perfect recipe to try out without any doubts.Enjoy...
