Low Fat Diet Plan That Has "Zing", "Punch" &"Kick", All Roll Into One
The Food is Delicious yet Low in Fat
I've this basic low fat diet plan that helps to keep your fat intake to 30% or less (as recommended by the American Heart Association) of your total calories, in a day.
It has that envious "zing","punch" and "kick" to placate your taste bud!
The Low Fat Diet Plan
Breakfast
-Fruit or fruit juice
-Breakfast cereal (avoid toasted museli or those high in sugar content) or cooked oats with skim or low-fat milk
-Grilled tomato, baked beans
-Bread or toast with a scrape of monounsaturated or polyunsaturated margarine and spread such as jam, honey, or yeast extract
-Water, tea, coffee, skim milk
Good, delicious low fat diet plan to start off your beautiful day!
Lunch
-Mixed vegetable salad with polyunsaturated dressing or no-oil dressing
-Cottage cheese, drained canned fish or bean dish
-Whole grain bread, bread roll, pita bread
-Fruit or low-fat yogurt
-Water, tea, coffee, skim milk or fruit juice
Dinner
-Small size of lean meat, chicken or fish (remove all the fat and skin and limit fat in preparation and cooking) or vegetarian savory dish
Bland, boring, dull, tasteless come to your mind when you think about this kind of food?
Well, it doesn't have to be ho-hum, uninspired and flavorless.
It can be just the opposite, with flavor, taste, smell and color, to add zip to low fat dishes.
True, fat brings out the flavor in food, so you might find some foods taste a little bland without it.
The solution isn't adding a lot of salt, sugar or extra oil. You can enhance the taste by using lots of fresh herbs and powerful spices.
Thai and Indian curries and cumin pep up soups and chicken dishes. Cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and vanilla add a sweet touch to oatmeal and apple sauce.
Fresh herbs such as sage, oregano and thyme bring new "zing" to pasta sauces, lasagna and egg white omelets.
Fresh basil with sliced tomatoes and a sprinkle of olive oil is heavenly in smell........
