Healthy Weight Loss Cooking

By Lisa Wood

Weight loss is considered as boring and almost torturing thing making you forget about all tasty meals and dishes for a long time.

In fact, it's not that bad. By replacing ingredients and using certain techniques you can still enjoy great tasting meals without seeing and feeling any difference. Only difference that you will notice is your body and its improvement.

Tips bellow are quite simple and easy to follow and will not make a huge difference in your food preparation routine. Some will take some extra time though.

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.

I am confident that one or more of bellow tips will suit you and your weight loss plan perfectly, so let's get started:

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. Use chicken, beef broth or wine instead of oil and gain extra flavour with excluding the fat.

4. In marinades instead of oil use wine, salad dressing or fruit juice. This reduces the fat and improves the flavour.

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

6. Swap mozzarella to cheddar cheese. This way you cut calories by half and reduce fat content significantly.

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

8. Cut down more calories with replacing 1 whole egg with 2 egg whites.

These changes and substitutions can help you eat better and lose weight same time making your weight loss experience much enjoyable. These were just few examples and many more can be found online.

Give these tips a try and see how they work for you. The bottom line is that you don't have to suffer when losing weight; you can still enjoy your meals if they are cooked the smart and healthy way.
