People focus more on their appearance than anything else these days. It goes without saying that no matter how talented and intelligent we are, without attractiveness, the aforementioned advantages won’t be highlighted. Even though there are numerous ways to lose weight, it is up to each individual to decide how they want to do it.
People choose a method of losing weight based on their interests and the lifestyle they lead. Few weight loss plans call for depriving oneself of food, which is never acceptable. No medical professional will advise a patient to deprive themselves of food. Other methods of losing weight include exercising, yoga, fruit and vegetable diets, and going to the gym. All I mentioned are regular diets to reduce weight.
But, today I am going to discuss with you a new diet, which will promote good and healthy weight loss.
A common issue that many people experience is weight gain. Most of the time, our unhealthy lifestyle choices are the cause of weight gain.

Onion is rich in fiber, nutrients and an antioxidants called quercetin, which are used in weight reduction. Onions are regularly used in Indian cuisines. They give a good flavor to the dishes. They are named for their low calorie weight they have.
Calorie Burn
Quercetin, which is an antioxidant is used to increase the energy expenditure in our body. As we know that weight loss is nothing but burning the extra stored calories, quercetin is used to burn the calories thereby promote weight loss. It is also recommended not to take more amounts of quercetin, as overdose of it will sidetrack the original results. There is also a point to be noted here, as I already mentioned afore that quercetin will increase the body expenditure, it decreases the benefit of it over time if it is used continuously. These type of antioxidants are also found in apples, tea, citrus fruits and red wine.
