Weight Loss Tip #351
Dried fruits are fabulous replacements for oil when baking. Just like bananas and prunes, they will also make your recipe bulge with moistness. Go A-I-P with various dried fruits rather than being tied down to just one fruit. Dried apricots, peaches, apples, pineapples, cranberries and golden raisins all make luscious oil substitutes.
You may choose to plump them up in a bit of warm water, though sweetness is not as intense in finished product. Dried fruit does tend to be a bit more pricey in calories than fresh fruit due to the sugar content. Even so, dried fruit offers essential health benefits.
Weight Loss Tip #352
Some breakfast cereals contain more dye than a movie star's hair-do. Keep in mind that when things are attractive, we just naturally want to eat more (according to many recent hyped-up studies that would do Little Johnny proud). Nonetheless, although colorless cereals aren't the prettiest, they are best when it comes to nutrition - free of those unnatural nothings.
Oatmeal, Cheerios, Shredded Wheat, Fiber One, All Bran, Wheaties, Cream of Wheat, Cream of Rice, Farina, Grits, and Grape Nuts are all pretty decent breakfast cereal choices and some may even assist in fighting heart disease.
Weight Loss Tip #353
To grab maximum nutrition out of your first meal of the day, enjoy your cereal with skim milk, which contains almost 1/2 the calories as whole milk yet still has the same health benefits for your bones and teeth.
Weight Loss Tip #354
Calorie-free is going to be a bit difficult to find in your pantry or fridge, but the following food comes pretty close:
1/2 cup of turnips - 15 calories
Weight Loss Tip #355
Choose baked chips over fried. Most baked chips contain about 1/3 the calories as deep fried chips. You'll not only save calories, but fat grams as well.
When dining out, a good rule of Diet Thumb is to allow 15 calories per chip. Although the calorie count won't be totally accurate - it's better than nothing.
Weight Loss Tip #356
Don't be afraid to eat because you think that if you eat, you'll get fat. Without the proper amount and variety of food, the metabolism slows to a snail's pace, and vital organs are stressed.
Weight Loss Tip #357
Say 'Oh Yes!' to side salads at meal time. Why? First off, salads are filling. Second off - the base of salad is almost always lettuce which contains a scant 5 calories per cup.
Add a couple of cherry tomatoes, some sliced mushrooms, a few shredded carrots - and wa-la! Serve with a bit of low calorie dressing - yes, on the side. Why? You may not use all of it, thus saving calories.
Weight Loss Tip #358
A hulled out pineapple makes a great diet-friendly container for fruit salad. OR - for a diet friendly chicken salad. Toss a few chunks of fresh pineapple into the chicken salad before transferring to the pineapple boat.
Weight Loss Tip #359
One large egg yolk contains 59 calories. Interesting Yolk: Many tempera paints, which artists have used for centuries, contain an egg yolk base.
Weight Loss Tip #360
Your 'diet of choice' should be fun! It should be something that you'll stick to until the unwanted weight is gone.
