Kimchi With Brown Rice Bowl
There are so many reasons to add kimchi to your regular diet, whether or not you're trying to lose weight. This Korean staple is usually served as a side dish, but makes for an excellent main course, as well. It consists of fermented and salted veggies like cabbage, radishes, and scallions seasoned with metabolism-boosting red pepper, ginger, garlic, and fish sauce.
The fermentation process involved in making kimchi creates lactobacilli, a healthy gut bacteria that reduces inflammation in your body and helps your digestive system. Not only does kimchi kill bad bacteria in your gut, it helps carbohydrate metabolism to burn belly fat.
