VINAIGRETTE: A FAT-BURNING DRESSING FOR YOUR SALADS


Salads are healthy! We all know that by now but what most people may not realize is that the dressing plays a major role in adding taste and also determining the number of calories in any salad.

Surely you are aware that white bread croutons, dried candied fruit, creamy cheese and mayonnaise won't help you shedding pounds but maybe you don't know that choosing a vinaigrette dressing can speed up your metabolism and help you lose more weight.

In fact, vinegar’s acetic acid flips on genes that stimulate fat burning; a study showed lower body weight, body fat and triglyceride levels in obese subjects who included vinegar in their diets.
Furthermore, the healthy fat in the olive oil helps you feel full longer and its oleic acid triggers the release of the appetite suppressing hormone CCK.

So when you eat salad, toss it with olive oil and 1 Tbsp of any vinegar-based dressing: in addition to the fat-reducing effect of the vinegar, you will feel also more satiated.
Here are four easy, low calorie but delicious recipe you should try!
