Eating right helps better your health as well as help you slim down

For most people losing weight is an uphill battle and one that is often lost to tears and frustration. It is very difficult to stop eating and drinking certain things that brings pleasure to the individual, thus even trying to do so, causes stress and often failure to stick to the resolution for longer durations. Therefore exploring foods that are better and healthier would perhaps be a better alternative as compared to trying to go on a diet to lose weight.

There are a lot of good and delicious foods that are not only good for the body but it also has the added advantage of not causing the body to retain unwanted pounds through its consumption. There are also ways preparing foods that are less likely to cause weight retention and this too should be explored if the individual is unwilling to give up eating a certain food or ingredient. Simple measures can be taken without causing too much of a shock to the body system in the initial stages. These adjustments can then be increased as and when the body is ready and able to accept more deprivation.

Drinking a lot of water and cutting out as much sweetened food items as possible is one of the first and simplest steps to take in the quest to keep the pounds off. Keeping a food diary may also help the individual to be more aware of the foods consumed, thus creating the opportunity for the individual to make the healthier choice whenever possible. Enlisting the help of professional, such as doctors, health experts, dietitians, nutritionist can also help the individual better understand and accepts the negatives and positives of the current foods being consumed and then tailor make an appropriate diet plan with healthy food contents to encourage satisfaction without the added pounds.

General Cooking Tip:

Salted butter vs. unsalted butter. Butter is available both with and without salt. The salt is added for extra flavor and to help preserve it so it has a longer shelf life. The problem is that sometimes the salt in butter can be more than a recipe needs. Choosing unsalted butter gives you more control over how much salt your dish contains. If you only have salted butter, the best thing to do is omit approximately ¼ teaspoon of salt per ½ cup (one stick) of butter used in the recipe.
