You have probably heard stories about people who lose weight quickly from fasting. Although people have been fasting for centuries, and for a variety of reasons, the practice has been recently experiencing popularity as a weight loss tool. We can “blame” celebrities and others who make unfounded medical claims for this trend. Although people really are losing weight by fasting, most medical experts agree that it’s not a healthy practice.

Is weight loss one of your New Year’s resolutions? If so, then you probably already know how important it is to choose the right foods and serve the right portions to reach your weight loss goals.

You can serve a variety of vegetables with this dish depending on your specific weight loss plan.
