That
Bland Diet
Addressing
the Most Common Blockades for Dieters
Have you ever been excited about
anything bland in your life? Of course.... excepting
on those unfortunate occasions when you don't feel so
hot and something bland really hits the spot.
Other than
that, from foods to movies, if they aren't exciting
- they're boring and they just don't hold our interest
for long.
A bland
diet produces the same reaction from dieters. If
the diet is boring and lacks excitement and taste, we
just aren't going to keep on making ourselves miserable.
If you find
that your diet is so boring that you want to run and
hide from it, perhaps the following suggestions might
be of help:
Time
to drag out the BIG guns - the spices and extracts.
A boring piece of broiled chicken will kick up
its leg and do the he-be-je-be when it gets a thin dusting
of mellow spices.
It will
also dance to the delight of light jams OR fresh fruits
that have been reduced into low calorie glazes. Try
painting that roasted chicken leg with a little light
peach jam and see what happens.
Sauces
don't have to be high in calories or fat.
A creamy
sauce might also help fire up some interesting flames.
Flatten a small boned chicken breast, then pan fry with
salt and pepper until golden brown.
Remove and
top with sauteed frozen spinach and diced onion. Next,
add a slice of skimmed mozzarella cheese and you'll
have a delicious cheesy chicken that will keep you satisfied
for several hours to come.
Beverages
can add a brand new layer to your dieting experience.
If you're stuck on the same low calorie drink, reach
for something with a higher kick.
Mixing up
your diet plan will keep it interesting and exciting
thus making you One Happy Dieter!
