Healthy eating for a healthy weight

[Warlock-]

 

A healthy lifestyle involves many decisions. Among them, the choice of a diet or a balanced eating plan. So, how do you choose a healthy eating plan? Let's begin by defining what a healthy eating plan is

A healthy eating plan to control weight includes a variety of foods that you may not have considered. If "healthy eating" makes you think about foods you can not eat, try to focus your attention on all the new foods you can

Fresh fruits: do not think only of apples and bananas. Those are excellent options, but try some "exotic" fruits too. What do you think of a mango? Or a juicy pineapple or a kiwi! When it is not the season for your favorite fresh fruit, you can try the frozen, canned or dried versions of the fresh fruits that you like. One warning about canned fruits is that they may contain sugars or additional syrups. Be sure to choose the varieties of fruit that are packaged in water or in their own juice.

 

Fresh vegetables: try something new. You may find  that you like grilled or steamed vegetables seasoned with herbs  you have not tried yey, suck as rosemary. You can saute the vegetables in  a non-stick pan with a little cooking spray. Or try frozen or canned vegetables to prepare a quick accompaniment, you just need to heat up in the  microwave and serve yourself. When tasting canned vegetables, look for those that come without additional salt, without butter or cream sauces. Commit to go to the vegetable section and try a new vegetable per weel.

 

 

Foods rich in calcium: you might automatically think of a glass of low-fat or fat-free milk when someone says they should "eat more dairy products". But what about low-fat and fat-free yogurts that do not contain additional sugars? These come in a wide variety of flavors and can be an excellent substitute for desserts for those who like sweets. The new version of an old acquaintance: if your favorite recipe is fried fish or breaded chicken, try to cook them in the oven or on the grill to achieve healthier variations. Maybe you can even try a recipe that carries dried beans instead of high-fat meat. Ask your acquaintances or search on the internet and magazines for recipes that contain fewer calories, you may be surprised to discover that you have a new favorite dish!
