Fat Loss Diet - Lose the Weight Not Flavor

Many people do not realize they can actually lose the weight they want and still eat food that tastes good. All you want to do is take of a few of those unwanted pounds but still eat food that doesn’t taste like cardboard. It is important when choosing a fat loss diet that you try one that has you watching calories and nutritional content.

These diets allow room for change instead of having to eat prepared meals that usually do not satisfy the taste buds. Here are a few suggestions for your favorite meals that can make them healthier.

* When you make a stew increase the amount of vegetables you include and cut down on the amount of meat added. This will not only give you extra nutrition but generally it will be more filling as well. By using fresh vegetables the calorie count only goes up minimally, but reducing the meat decreases the calories. Thus, allowing you a larger healthier portion.

* Instead of adding butter or sour cream to your baked potato try topping it with salsa. This give a unique healthy flavor and is a little more filling that butter with less calories.

* Try baking a piece of salmon with breadcrumbs, sauté some mushrooms and top it with fresh bell peppers. You have flavor, color and portions that can be increased without compromising the calorie intake for the day.

* Buy nonstick pans for cooking. This will keep you from having to use oil or butter when you are cooking. Eliminating butter and oil in cooking makes the meal much healthier.

* Instead of using onion salt or garlic salt in your recipes switch it to onion powder or garlic powder. If you must use salt, add ¼ of the required amount to the recipe much later in the recipe. This will give you the same flavor you desire without having to use as much.

These are just a few ways you can continue to eat the same foods with a little modification. Once you get started cooking healthier you will realize how easy it really is. For the most part you will not have to buy any special foods. This just goes to show, with a little creativity you can create a tasty and colorful fat loss diet that will keep you interested in eating healthy for years to come. Your worry of going astray on eating healthy can finally be put to rest.
