He does not look like, never makes the headlines of food trends, and rarely appears in the advice of well-being influencers. However, this green vegetable that everyone knows (and that many sulks) is regaining their place in the plates of the French who want to lighten their silhouette without upsetting their daily lives.
Why green beans can help lose weight
With only 31 calories per 100 grams, green beans are among the lightest vegetables that can be put on your plate. But their interest does not stop there. Their richness in fibers helps promote satiety, therefore to eat less, of course. Result: fewer cravings, less snacking, less unnecessary intake.
They also have a low glycemic index, which avoids the pics of blood sugar responsible for fatigue and the desires of sugar. As part of a food rebalancing or a diet, their place is therefore completely justified. It is not a miracle food, but an excellent ally.
A good, satisfying vegetable compatible with all dishes
Unlike other vegetables that are sometimes restrictive to cook or too much taste, green beans adapt to almost everything. Warm, cold, nature or surveys, they also accompany white meat, fish, rice or eggs.
Their slightly crunchy texture, especially when they are steamed or water, makes them pleasant in the mouth, without being bland. They are also perfect in salads with a drizzle of olive oil, or in more elaborate recipes such as a pan -fried with sweet spices or a light wok. In short, they can easily invite themselves in all the plates without frustrating either the stomach or the taste buds.
A slimming asset that can be consumed without moderation
In a lasting weight loss approach, green beans have a major advantage: you can eat a lot for very few calories. Their full volume helps to calm the appetite, bringing a real feeling of satisfaction without excess of calories.
By combining them with high -skinned protein foods (eggs, fish, tofu, chicken white), they form a simple and complete base for balanced meals. Canned, frozen or fresh, they keep their nutritional qualities essential. This is what makes it a cupboard food as practical as it is effective in a slimming strategy.
