IS SEMOVITA FATTENING?
Semovita is one of our popular Nigerian swallows. a lot of people love it because its the closest to pounded yam they can get, without having to actually go through the stress of pounding the yam. Today i am going to talk briefly about the Calories in Semovita, so you can adjust and d your calculations when you are planning your meals.
As much as i don’t want to label any food as bad, i would suggest you stay off semovita when you are trying to lose weight.
I don’t know how many cups you use to make yours, but a cup of semovita contains a whooping 600 calories. You haven’t even added the calories you would get from the soup especially with our Nigerian soups that contain lots of palm oil. I would rather you stick to healthier forms of food which are filling and have lesser calories.

Pls pals, u can browse on implications of eating wheat diet yourself. It’s very detrimental to health both the refined and unrefined.
i take dry unripe plantain and wheat I ground by myself. What is disadvantage of whole wheat?
morderate eating of these carbs with high fibre.fruits,vegetables and morderate exercises can aid weight loss
please is wheat good for eating for weight loss
Yes!It is quite healthy.. But do restrict your intake as well.
You people ask too much question, haba! Fast and pray more, break with fruits and vegies and walk more rather than taking bike and you can eat whatever you want in correct proportion. Also love the way you are!
Best advice ever.
Wheat is good for weight lost
The African diet is full of deadly foods like amala and pap. O terrible. Did u guys know that gari has a short healthy life span and that even though it has expired, it still tastes good but can kill you, maybe not kill u but damge the brain, eyes, organs, etc. Always know where ur palm oil is coming from, best to buy in a village as they are now mixing a tasteless petroleum product into it.
