Hi guys, how are you? Today's video is to talk about whether pumpkin
Does it make you gain or lose weight? It's sweet, right? So... is it low carb? Or does it have a higher amount of carbohydrates? And calories? Is it very caloric? You can eat it safely, if you're on a diet.
weight loss diet? Stay with me then and I will answer everything
this here, in this video. Many people wonder if pumpkin
makes you fat, because pumpkin is naturally sweet, right? So people end up thinking that:
“Oh, I can’t eat too much pumpkin because that stuff is sweet and will make me gain weight!” But in reality, pumpkin has a lot of fiber.
and low in calories. In 100g of pumpkin, you have 40 calories. And when you incorporate a food like
pumpkin which is super full of other nutrients in your diet and has a regular program
exercise, have a balanced diet, you can indeed lose a lot of weight and gain
health, with pumpkin. A serving of pumpkin has more or less
7g of fiber, so a considerable amount of fiber to add to your diet. And it helps a lot – fiber – in the issue
evacuation, digestion, control of intestinal transit… in addition to improving the index
glycemic index of both the pumpkin and the meal you are consuming. Well, as I told you, in 100g, the
people have more or less 40 calories. Of these 40 calories, 9.8g come from carbohydrates,
1.2 protein and 0.3 fat, almost nothing! Of those 9.8 carbohydrates, 2.5, practically,
are made of fiber. So you see that the proportion is very
interesting. When we see that a food has little
calorie, in absolute quantity of the weight of the food, we say that it has a low
energy density, as is the case with pumpkin. Pumpkin also has a lot of water. And foods with low energy density,
are foods that have a very large volume, with few calories. And with that they manage to make the
people lose weight, because they greatly increase the feeling of satiety and make it so that
that we snack less after that meal. An interesting tip about pumpkin is that it
has a lot of potassium. And potassium helps to eliminate sodium and
excess water in our body. It helps us to reduce swelling. That's why it also helps us to lose weight,
not fat, but it helps you lose weight, so it is interesting. Now: how to consume pumpkin, right? Because pumpkin is a low-calorie food,
lots of fiber, very little fat, a little bit of protein, it's an interesting food,
very healthy. But, if you decide to open the pumpkin, stuff it
it with shrimp and cream cheese, put more cheese on top. Or if you make this sautéed pumpkin with meat
dry in the pressure cooker…. it doesn’t work, there’s no future for pumpkin. My tip is: think about pumpkin, in preparations
for pumpkin, as you would think for potatoes. You can make pumpkin puree, a
pumpkin cooked with a little garlic, onion, a little sauté of garlic and onion
part, mix in the pumpkin, a little milk to loosen, if necessary. Or you can make pumpkin cut into cubes,
cooked. Or you can make oven-roasted pumpkin,
with a little rosemary, oregano, salt, whatever you want! Drizzle with olive oil, it's delicious! Or you can make pumpkin pie. You can add ground beef or chicken
already seasoned, shredded, cover with pumpkin and put in the oven to brown, which is very
healthier and with fewer calories than you would use if you made it with potatoes. And I'm going to leave you with a tip now
of a wonderful sweet, with pumpkin, that will satisfy your sweet tooth and has much less
calories and carbohydrates. You take your pumpkin, put it in the pan
with a little clove, cinnamon, any seasoning you like, culinary sweetener and water. Let it cook until it is very soft and,
If you want, you can add grated coconut, fresh or dried, as long as it doesn't have
sugar, is that okay? So you're going to have a pumpkin candy with
coconut, much less caloric than if you made it with sugar, and it will kill your
desire to eat sweets, when you feel like it. And it is full of fiber, carotenoids, etc.
a good sweet! So? Which of these recipes I mentioned, these
