Cooking For Weight Loss

Put veggies at the front of your shopping list, and base your meals around them rather than meat. Formula: more vegetables

ess meat. Beans are a vegetable, so make tacos with them instead of beef and top with plenty of freshly chopped salsa, tomatoes, and lettuce.

The same goes for your lunch. Make sandwiches with less meat and more vegetables.

Move beyond lettuce and tomato! Add the cucumber, sprouts, spinach, and sweet bell pepper strips. Hold the mayonnaise or use a low-fat or fat-free version.

Avoid sugary foods. Sugar contains calories but provides no other nutritional value. Some sugar is found naturally in fruits, vegetables, milk, and cereals. One common culprit in impeding weight reduction is "added sugar" —

If you cook at home, you're unlikely to add sugar to your minestrone soup, but manufacturers may. Rethink your drink to remove additional sugar.

Eat it all... for wheat. Select whole-grain breads, crackers, and cereals that contain all portions of the grain. Refined grains are stripped of their nutritious outer shell (bran), reducing some of the nutrients in the grain

Eating whole foods also fills you up rather than leaving you hungry, which is ideal for weight loss.

Brown rice is full grain, whereas white rice is not. Similarly, removing the skins from fruits and vegetables reduces the fibre amount. It's better to eat an entire apple than to drink apple juice.
