How to Eat Healthy and Lose Weight

Snacking on dried out rice cakes and wilted lettuce leaves is no way to spend your lunch or dinner time. You don’t have to eat flavorless, boring foods just to slim up. It is possible to eat great and lose weight all at the same time. If you choose quality foods and have a willingness to experience new things, you can get down on delicious meals and lose pounds too.

Choose the Correct Foods

You can not possibly lose weight if the foods you use to prepare your meals are unhealthy and laden with calories. When you head off the processed nonsense and stay with fresh ingredients, you can’t go wrong. Anything boxed, frozen, jugged or canned is considered processed and has no ground in a healthy diet.

Foods that should be staples in your healthy meal plans include fresh fish, naturally raised meats, organic poultry, organic whole eggs, raw nuts, fresh herbs, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Natural foods are better for you because they are low in calories and filled with plenty of nutrients your body can use.
Natural foods aren’t loaded with a numerous amount of additives that contribute to weight gain, diabetes, cancer, hypertension and other health problems.

Experiment with Recipes, Flavors and New Cooking Methods

I love grilled chicken, but if I had to eat if every day, I’d go bananas—I imagine you would too. Free yourself from the bondage of dull, bland meals by researching new with recipes. Page through some cookbooks, jump around the Internet and use your imagination to whip up meals you can’t wait to plunge your teeth into.

When you come across recipes that have unhealthy ingredients, simply change out the bad ingredients out for healthier ones. For instance, if a recipe states use milk, you can replace this ingredient with coconut or almond milk. Also, don’t be afraid to swap out spices and seasonings to add a new taste to a dish.

Change up your cooking methods to keep things fresh and give meals a new taste. For instance, if you always broil your meat, try sauteing it, or covering it with olive oil and throwing it on the grill. All of these cooking ideas are healthy and easy to master.

Sample Recipes to Help You Eat Healthy and Lose Weight

Healthy French Toast:

• 2 slices of Sprouted Grain, Spelt or Rice bread
• 1 tablespoon of real butter
• 2 whole organic eggs
• maple syrup
• cinnamon
  

Directions: Mix the eggs in a bowl. Drop the bread in the egg mixture until it is completely soiled on both sides. Heat a pan on low to medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the egg soaked bread and cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle the toast with cinnamon and serve it with 2 teaspoons of your favorite maple syrup.

Baked Chicken a la Isabel (one of my creations)

• 1 whole baking chicken
• extra virgin coconut oil
• your favorite Italian spices (I use thyme, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, sea salt and pepper)
  

Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Put 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a small pan and melt it over low heat. Mix 1 to 2 teaspoons of each of your spices in a small bowl and pour in the melted coconut oil. Mix all the ingredients together. Let the spice and coconut oil mixture cool.

Spread the spice and oil mixture under the skin of the chicken with your hands. Once the chicken is completely embraced or covered, place it breast side down in a glass baking pan and pop it in the oven. Let the chicken cook for 1 to 2 hours until it’s done.

There’s nothing boring or tasteless about the above recipes. If you’re creative and are willing to experiment or research with new recipes, you can chow down like this everyday and look fantastic doing it.
