The essence of the eggplant diet

Main rule: eat egg­plant at least three times a day for two weeks.

Eggplant calories

They have every­thing 24 kcal per 100 gbut they are easy to get fed up with. This is due to the large amount of fiber, a small amount of car­bo­hy­drate. But 100 g of a veg­etable con­tains about 1 g of veg­etable pro­tein, so choose more aux­il­iary pro­tein prod­ucts (chick­en, turkey or tofu).

Egg­plants also con­tain vit­a­mins (group B, K), as well as trace ele­ments (cobalt, cop­per, man­ganese).

By the way, those who want to quit smok­ing, this diet will ben­e­fit. Egg­plant con­tains a small con­cen­tra­tion of nico­tine, which helps reduce the body’s need for this sub­stance.
