Three Ways Youâve Been Deceived About Nigerian Food and Weight Loss
1ď¸âŁ Swallow Isnât the Enemy â Youâve been told eba, fufu, or pounded yam are making you fat. The truth? Itâs not the swallow, itâs the mountain-sized portion and what you pair it with. A wrap of eba isnât worse than a plate of spaghetti drowning in oil.
2ď¸âŁ Skipping Meals Wonât Make You Slim â Starving on just water, zobo, or âdetox teasâ doesnât burn fat. It actually slows your metabolism and makes your body store fat like a savings account. Thatâs why you regain weight faster.
3ď¸âŁ Oil-Free Soup Is Not Always Healthy â Nigerians rush for âno-oilâ soups thinking theyâre guilt-free. But some of these soups are overloaded with starchy thickeners that spike your blood sugar more than that small meat pie youâre avoiding.
âĄShocking truth: Itâs not Nigerian food that makes you fat, itâs the lies about how to eat it.
đđ˝ If you want real weight loss with Nigerian meals, stop following fads and start eating smart.
