Light up your favorite foods

 

Many people believe that a successful diet or eating plan should exclude some of their favorite foods. This fallacy is a sure recipe for disaster as it only takes a little time before you start to feel deprived. These feelings lead to resentment, anger, and depression, and in no time, you're back on the treadmill and may have gained even more weight.


You can take control of your diet while enjoying your favorite foods, simply by changing a few ingredients.


Mac and cheese tops the list of favorite foods for most Americans, yet in their original form they are high in calories, fat, and sodium, and have little to no beneficial fiber. The next time you're making mac n cheese, cook some veggies along with the pasta and vary the pasta. Choose whole grain rotini instead of processed white elbow macaroni and add sliced ​​carrots, diced onion, broccoli florets, and sliced ​​summer เมนูเด็ดจากร้านเด็ด.


Drain pasta and vegetables and toss with two tablespoons of low-fat margarine, one teaspoon of granulated garlic, and one teaspoon of chives. You can add diced red bell pepper to add color and nutrition. Place in a shallow baking dish and grate about a half cup of the low-fat cheddar cheese over the pasta and top with sliced ​​almonds. Bake at 375 ° for about 15 minutes. This flavorful dish is lower in calories, fat, and sodium than its pure counterpart, and the veggies add a nutritional punch and great flavor.


When baking your favorite chocolate chip cookies, use unsweetened chocolate chips, low-fat margarine, a sugar substitute, and three tablespoons of oat bran for more fiber. If your recipe calls for eggs, add them before adding the sugar substitute, as it tends to stick to the margarine. Adding a teaspoon of baking powder makes the cookies light and chewy.


Most meat and chicken dishes are not complete without the accompanying sauce. Make a flavorful, low-calorie sauce by combining low sodium chicken or beef soup with a teaspoon of granulated onion and half a teaspoon of granulated garlic with a fine flour like Wondra (TM). Beat the flour in the liquid little by little until reaching the desired consistency.


The next time you roast a turkey, make your own fruit compote instead of using canned cranberry sauce. Combine one cup of fresh blueberries, one cup of frozen blueberries, one medium apple, chopped without skin, one medium onion, chopped, one cup of reduced-sugar orange juice, one-half cup of sugar substitute, and one-quarter cup of sherry. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and cook until the blueberries pop. This thickens on its own and freezes well.


If you are watching your carb intake but love potatoes, cut a large potato with the skin into small pieces, season with an unsalted seasoning. Place in a shallow baking dish and add a tablespoon of low-fat margarine and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. When the potatoes are almost tender, add a package of your favorite frozen veggies and continue to bake until the potato and veggies are tender. Top with sliced ​​almonds for an added nutritional boost.

But while working on the article, a completely different approach opened up. I couldn't use it for the general public (too technical) but it had a good flow of information for astrologers and a speculative concept that I have been considering about the shadow effect of planetary stations. The general article is titled Jupiter Conjunct Neptune: Inspiration or Illusion and has the following material led by the astrologer: Astrologically speaking ... Jupiter conjunct Neptune: inspiration or deception? For me, the research is ongoing, for my current book, for my largest book on presidents, for my other studies, such as my research on serial killers, and for interesting topics that come up moment by moment. Sometimes there are so many interesting topics that I stray. Life itself is so diverse, so hu...
