Can carrots help reduce body fat?

Question

I heard that carrots could be beneficial for losing weight. Is it true that they help in the elimination of excess fat from the body?

Answer 1

1. Roasted or stewed carrots
2. Beans ( for healthy gut bacteria)
3. Chili peppers (stimulate tastebuds)
4. Mushrooms ( lowers inflammation) eat both the stem and the cap
5. Pu'erh tea  (fermented tea)

Thanks for the list. Just have to find the Pu'erh tea.

i find carrots are best when you fry them after slicing them thin.  and dont throw away the oils that the carrots release. use them or let them soak back into the carrots when you are done cooking them.     but for real try fried carrots its amazing how different they taste

In general where our dietary regimen is more of Mideteranean . Lots of fruits vegetables ,legumes ,all kinds of nuts , coffee and tea lovers since alcohol is strictly prohibited , tobacco as well. It's not all about food. Connecting to the Divine Creator, constantly seeking forgiveness and express gratitude for  all the bountiful blessings   which is of our existence primarily is tantamount to spiritual upliftmen thereby your taking  care of your body and the soul. Asking the Divine Creator who created the heavens, earth ,everything in between including the whole universe ✨️   will ultimately lead you to life filled with happiness and stress free life..

Hi Dr.Williams Question for you…  I have a few strange food sensitives that give me so much intense pain & bloating in the upper middle section of my abdomen that starts right under my breasts to just below my ribs if I eat broccoli, mushrooms, pineapple & muscles all 4 of those foods make me really sick. The pain & sever bloating lasts a few hours & sometime for up to 6 hours. Do have any insight on why this would happen with these particular foods ?

Answer 4

I ACCIDENTALLY had your channel pop up on my phone…for the first time yesterday I listened to your upload…and because I listen to 3 other “popular clean food” channels I listened…

Answer 5

Here in Brazil, where beans are a staple food, what families usually do is cook beans in a pressure cooker and leave it unseasoned in the refrigerator. Then, when it's close to lunch or dinner time, the person cooking will sauté some onion, garlic and whatever else you might want to put in your beans, cook it for a few minutes, adjust seasoning, and you'll have fresh tasting beans (Brazilian style) in just a few minutes. Since Brazilians eat beans every day, it won't be sitting for too long in the refrigerator.

IN THE SPANISH CARIBBEAN ISLANDS -CUBA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC & PUERTO RICO WE COOK THEM SIMILAR. THE OLD FASHION WAY WITHOUT THE PRESSURE COOKER IS TO SOAK THEM OVERNIGHT IN WATER & SALT, NEXT DAY THROWS THE WATER AWAY AND START COOKING THEM.
IN THE MEANTIME MAKE THE SOFRITO-  SAUTE GARLIC, ONIONS, SMALL PEPPERS, ALONG WITH CILANTRO, CORIANDER & ORÉGANO AND ADD IT TO THE BEANS WHILE THEY COOK AT MEDIUM HEAT.  MANY TIMES ALONG WITH PIECES OF PUMPKIN WHICH GIVE BEANS A SPECIAL FLAVOR.
AND VOILÁ, BON APETITE!

Answer 7

I add cayenne pepper to my coffee every morning.  Now I'm addicted to it

Comments

I need to try that in my coffee.

---

How much?

---

With cream or black?

Answer 8

That's great. Also all the people don't know that potatoes change when they become refrigerated. So if you want to lose fat , but need a Carbohydrate Cold potato soup is perfect. There is less starch in a cold potato than there is in a freshly baked one.

Comments

Resistant starch.  I think reheating cold potato is also good.  Once the starch becomes resistant starch, it does not change back because insoluble fiber is created.

Answer 9

Raw carrots dipped in smashed avocados taste good.

Answer 10

Answer 14

I eat  organic purple, orange and white carrots. I slice them into thin strips and air fry them with olive oil, salt and sugar free pancake syrup. Tastes like sweet fries, very yummy!  I air fry mushrooms too with olive oil, salt, black pepper,  garlic powder & onion powder.

Comments

I have been looking for alternatives to potato chips- love this carrot idea! I cook my mushrooms often in the air fryer like that too. So easy!

Answer 15

Just discovered Dr William Li and am very tickled with my discovery. Last August after my doctor said I’d not have to worry about retirement if I didn’t lose weight, and change my diet, I took action. She wanted to put me on a statin med as I was basically an animated stick of butter with hair on top. Lipid panel was out of range BMI confirmed what I looked like: A fluffy little senior lady. So I changed lifestyle and diet to nearly vegan, sugar free and very low fat. I love continuing education of healthy eating and life choices. I happen to really enjoy the foods mentioned in this post. Ok, not the fermented stuff. My health has really improved and I’d love to have a new career in my retirement years s a health educator…Blue Zone style.

Comments

REAL butter is actually very good for you. So are eggs and avocado's. Think HEALTHY fats!!!

Answer 16
