In this case, the optimal solution is to select the correct diet based on dietary meals made from low-calorie vegetables. This will make the diet varied and at the same time lose excess weight, without suffering from hunger and lack of necessary vitamins and minerals. In this review, I will share a unique recipe for losing weight - zucchini dough that can be used for dietary pancakes, pies, pancakes, pizza and much more for what you can imagine.
Zucchini dough is the simplest dough to prepare and at the same time low-calorie. It will dilute a bland, not tasty diet, make life more fun and tastier. The energy value of zucchini is very low, while the fruits contain many vitamins and vegetable acids, which are necessary for the normal functioning of the body. There are several options for preparing the dough, and each of the recipes has unsurpassed notes. This recipe includes rye flour and semolina, which is unique. Its main advantage is the absence of wheat flour, which significantly reduces the calorie content.

Step by step preparation of diet squash dough:
1. Wash the zucchini and cut off the ends on both sides. If the fruits are ripe, then peel them from the hard skin and remove the large seeds. Such actions are not carried out with young and dairy vegetables.
2. Grate the courgettes on a coarse grater and place in a deep bowl. You can use a food processor for this action.
3. Add salt and mix well.
4. Leave the courgette shavings for 15 minutes. The zucchini are quite watery, and under the influence of salt, a lot of liquid will come out of them, which should be drained.
5. When a sufficient amount of juice is released from the vegetable, drain it and squeeze the courgette mass well with your hands. It is necessary to remove the liquid as much as possible, otherwise you will have to add more flour or semolina so that the dough is not watery.
6. Add the egg to the squash mixture.
7. Add semolina and rye flour.
8. Stir the dough well and let stand for 10 minutes for the semolina to swell and the dough to grow slightly. This is necessary so that the semolina in the finished product does not creak on the teeth.
9. After this time, use the dough for any baked goods. In this case, I decided to make pizza, but you can bake the cakes and coat them with some kind of filling. Then you will get a delicious cake that will be worthy of taking center stage on the festive table.
