Weight Loss Recipes - An Introduction

To eat the right food during a weight loss period is not always easy.

You can measure every thing before you cook or put it into your mouth but that is not necessary.

Use the "plate method":

Your plate should be no larger than 9 inches

Fill ½ the plate with veggies (corn and peas are NOT veggies they belong to the bread part of the plate)

1/4 of the plate is for protein: meat, fish, poultry, tofu, eggs, and nuts

1/4 of the plate is for bread/Starch/Grain

Eat 1 fruit every day .

Drink tap water (if of good quality) and herb teas.

Use plenty of herbs

Eat protein to all meals (makes you feel full longer)

What to Avoid 

Focus on the healthy food, when you start to think of a cake immediately change your focus on the dessert you will have after dinner.

When that said, there are things you should avoid in your healthy weight loss recipes
  • High-fructose corn syrup. Check the food label on everything you buy.
  • Sugar, added. Anything that ends on "ose" is sugar
  • Too much salt
  • White flour
  • White pasta
  • White bread
  • Alcohol
