Cooking and Weight Loss

By Lisa Wood

Many think and it's a quite popular opinion that weight loss can be very boring and one of the worst things is that all favourite foods must be forgotten for a long period of time.

Actually, in many cases it's only about little tweaks or ingredient substitutions which in the end allow you to enjoy delicious dishes without even noticing the differences except changes in your body.

Following and executing tips bellow is simple and they won't change your food making habits massively; just some can take some extra time but benefits are far greater than few minutes.

You will understand that weight loss can be enjoyable and that process isn't hard at all. It will allow you to eat fewer calories by treating yourself with tasty meals.

Let's get started and I'm pretty sure that at least few of tips bellow will suit your diet plan and will allow to enjoy your dieting much more:

1. Fat content in beef can be reduced by 50% without affecting its flavour with rinsing it down in hot water.

2. Replace butter with chicken broth in pasta, rice and stuffing dishes.

3. Swap oil to chicken / beef broth or wine and reduce the fat and get more flavour.

4. Replace oil in marinades with fruit juices, wine or salad dressing. You'll improve the taste and reduce the fat.

5. Replace full cheese in your pasta dishes with some soft cheese like cottage cheese for example reducing calories this way.

6. Use cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella cutting calorie content this way by half and reducing the fat.

7. Instead of whole milk use skimmed milk and save 8 grams of fat with each glass.

8. Replace 1 whole egg with 2 egg whites.

Write down these changes and get used to them while you cook. These are just the most common weight loss cooking techniques and there are plenty of different ones available.

Try these methods and you may be surprised how well they work. The main point here is that you can "trick" boring weight loss methods and enjoy your whole weight loss experience making it easier and better. - 31875
