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...

** Thanks to my blogger friend RUMANA who motivated me to do this all..Thanks dear...:)
