Yes, it’s possible! Asparagus can indeed help us sublimate our legs and drain our cellulite. Find out why, and follow our recipe idea to enjoy all its benefits!

How does asparagus help to lose weight of the thighs?

White, green or purple, asparagus has an extraordinary diuretic power. Full of water and fiber, low in sodium and rich in potassium, they prevent salt from being stored in the body and thus reduce the famous (and unfortunate) water retention, responsible for the formation of cellulite.

It also contains inulin, another enemy of cellulite that plays the role of fat burner, and asparagine, an amino acid that breaks down oxalic acid, an acid that plays a role of fat fixing on our cells.

Asparagus is also rich in potassium, an essential mineral for our muscles. It helps them to be firmer and more toned!

Finally, it is finally a low-calorie vegetable (about 25 calories per 100 grams) and therefore, a good ally of weight loss.

Consume asparagus well to refine your thighs

To enjoy all the benefits of asparagus, avoid seasonings too fatty to dip, such as mayonnaise or other gourmet dressings. We prefer a low-fat yogurt sauce or a light recipe, such as this slimming salad with quinoa, a gluten-free food, rich in protein and fiber.
