I am trying to loose weight but all recipes i come across online contain ingridents that are not easily available or are too expensive here in Nigeria. It is a bit difficult to find variety when the staple food around here is rice, yam, cassava and generally carbohydrate. All i get to eat is basmati rice (someone said it has less starch, i hope its true), beans, vegetable and fruits, this is getting a bit boring. Breakfast is ok cos i have variety of cereal like oat, weetabix, all bran, fruit & fibre e.t.c. Dinner is usually soup or fruit or vegetable (again). Am looking forward to some interesting menus to break the boredom that the diet has become.
