Some Healthy Recipe....

I've always heard 80-20(80% eating right and 20% exercise) rule for weight loss. Eating right is very important.Exercise is the icing on the cake to keep the metabolism up and get toned as the weight comes off. Moreover it's easier to keep knock off calories from your diet than it is to burn the calories on a treadmill as it boils down to calorie deficits and nutrient ratios.After attaining a healthy weight, I'd say the importance of exercise for cardiovascular health and keeping weight off goes up significantly and then 50-50(50% eating right and 50% exercise) rule applies.I have pen down some of the recipes which will help you in losing weight if you replace your one meal with any of the below recipes.
