Ask anyone who has ever been on a diet and they will tell you that dieting is tasteless and does not allow for variety.
This is so not true! You can eat better when you diet if you know what to cook and how to cook it.
Here are some cooking tips for the dieter.
1.
Use as much flavoring as you want.
Spices are very low in calories and many have homeopathic qualities that actually help in your weight loss.
2.
Cook small portions of meat and load up on the vegetables.
Vegetables are filling and many are low in calories and fat.
3.
Use whole wheat bread and flour when you cook.
Whole wheat contains fewer carbohydrates than white breads and flour.
4.
Steam your vegetables or eat them raw.
Many vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce and spinach are much better for you raw than cooked.
Cooking removes many of the natural nutrients they contain.
5.
Treat yourself to a low fat dessert.
Just because you are on a diet doesn't mean you have to forego dessert.
A low fat or no fat dessert is just the ticket for helping digest your meal.
Yogurt, fresh fruit or even flavored gelatin makes a good dessert.
These are just a few of the things you can use to spruce up your meals.
Dieting doesn't have to be bland.
In fact you can eat quite well by following these suggestions.
Before you know it the pounds be melting off of you.
