Polenta literally fills the intestines and, due to its rich fiber content, is an excellent source of nutrients that absorb water in the intestines, swell, and create a long-lasting feeling of fullness. One cup of yellow cornmeal contains 8.5 grams of fiber, which is about a third of the necessary daily intake, and it has only 70 calories. Of course, this applies to polenta without added full-fat cheese, cream, or bacon.

Fiber is extremely important for weight loss and promotes healthy slimming, regulates digestion, and most importantly, prevents overeating. If you want to lose weight quickly, you should only eat 1500 calories per day, which with polenta seems possible and easy.

To conclude, here is a recipe for enriched polenta with plenty of nutrients:

For 100 grams of polenta you need 2 cups of water, a pinch of salt, two eggs, and 2 teaspoons of sesame seeds.

In salted boiling water, pour in the polenta while stirring quickly to avoid clumping. Then, slowly mix in freshly beaten eggs. When the polenta is ready, add the sesame seeds.

Between meals, drink only lukewarm water.
