What do you think about when you hear the phrase healthy foods? I
know...I know you think about tasteless steamed broccoli and dry
chicken with no taste. You get that dreaded mental picture of nasty
tasteless foods that make you don't even want to eat anymore. Well good
news I'm here to tell you that your list of healthy diet foods does not
have to be bland and tasteless!
There are many foods that you can eat that are both nutritious and taste well. Most likely the foods that you eat on a regular basis that you think are unhealthy can be made into something that is nutritious as well as good tasting. Sometimes it just takes a little imagination. Did you know that you can make spaghetti and meatballs into a great tasting healthy meal? Just substitute the regular pasta for whole wheat, the ground beef for ground turkey and viola! You have a healthy dinner there waiting for you.
I personally love pasta so I do this with many of my pasta meals. For chicken I use chicken breast, for anything that calls for ground beef I use turkey instead and of course I only buy whole wheat pasta. I only use olive oil in my cooking which provides good fat instead of jus FAT contained in other oils. So sometimes people see me ADDING olive oil to my broiled chicken breast and wonder what in the world am I doing if I'm supposed to be on a "diet."
Some things are hard to make healthy such as meats with high fat content, and you should try to limit sugar as much as possible. But the thing is that it's OK to have these things once in a while. You do not have to eat the same things day in day out for the rest of your life. It's OK to live a little.
Here is a list of diet foods that can make eating a pleasure:
Protein: Chicken, Turkey, LEAN cuts of other meats, Eggs, Tuna, Seafood, Beans, Protein shakes
Carbohydrates: Brown/Wild rice, Whole wheat anything (make sure its 100%), Sweet Potatoes, Vegetables
Fats: Olive Oil, Fish Oil, Flax seeds, Almonds.
