I
Smell Fish!
Copyrighted
by Diet Bites
Do you find a trail
of cats following you down the streets these days? On a diet
again, eh? Tuna, tuna, and more tuna, right? If your
diet is sounding sounds
a little bit fishy perhaps it's time to open up a new can of worms....
 
Fish is one of the foods lowest
in calories and fat - a dieter's dream. Well, almost. If you'd like
to hear the downside of Toxic Tuna, click
here. But for now, we'll focus
on our fishy diet.
Actually, fish has a lot in common
with eggs. They are both proteins, but their relationship is actually
much cozier. Dieters seem to love to fill their diets with fish and eggs.
And although these goodies are fine in moderation, the day-in/day-out
fish & egg menu gets old. In fact, it's actually where the words,
'Sorry, Charlie' originated....
Meg had been feasting on a fish
diet for two weeks straight and when she opened up a can of light tuna for lunch,
she found that she just couldn't do another can, so she eased out, "Sorry,
Charlie," which happened to be overheard by a smart tuna marketing person.
Tender little story, isn't it?
One of the reasons that dieters
choose fish and eggs is because they feel comfortable with them - in that they
know they are low in calories and make a pretty awesome diet choice. One
can dine on a very large slab of grilled fish compared to a tiny round of steak.
Or one can dine on FOUR boiled eggs compared to one candy bar. So by far,
fish and eggs make a couple of the most popular protein choices for people when
dieting.
But since these goodies must
be used in moderation to avoid future health problems, let's investigate a few
other protein alternatives when dieting - some of which need to also be used
in moderation. Remember: a good diet is one filled with variety!
 Beans, legumes
- whatever you wish to call these tasty pods, they'll fill your diet with hearty
goodness! As beans tend to be gassy, you may wish to check out some Beano
next time you visit your local market.
On that note, is it just me or
do people flat out pass gas in the stores these days? It seems that every
time that I go to the market lately, I innocently walk into a wall of butt-belched
flames. And I usually hear a grocery basket rapidly racing down the isle,
then see it turning the corner while I am left in the silent, but deadly, stench.
Oh well - back to the Beanery....
 There are so many varieties of
beans to 'pick' from: black, navy, kidney, garbanzo, great northern, pinto,
lima, green beans - and the list goes on!
All beans tend to be extremely
filling, but of the ones we've listed, fresh green beans served with a wedge
of cornbread make an excellent choice!
You
can steam your green beans, or boil them.
Don't
be afraid to add a slice of raw bacon for seasoning.
And
DO remember to use the refrigerated
no-calorie butter spray rather than the real deal. (It's only during diet-time!
You can do this!!)
A
couple of freshly peeled 'new potatoes' OR canned 'new potatoes' may be another
option that you'd enjoy.
Another great thing about beans
is that you can steam them as suggested above, or boil them, bake them, stirfry them, crockpot them and so forth.
Peanut butter
- Though high in fat and calories, peanut butter will definitely stick
to your ribs. A serving generally contains about 190 calories and is about
the size of a golf ball. Try mixing about 150 calories-worth with a few
packs of Equal or Splenda, then spreading it on fresh bread (70 calories each
slice). Place one-half of a sliced banana inside your sandwich with a couple
of Tablespoons of whipped topping - the 15 calories for 2 Tablespoons variety.
You'll have a sandwich that contains about 350 calories but it will carry you
through the afternoon without the hungries. Or, enjoy it for breakfast!
Cheese
- We all know that cheese has more fat than protein AND is in the Dairy
Family AND it's considered taboo for anyone
dieting - but not at Diet Bites! One ounce of most cheeses contain about
100 calories and 8 grams of fat. Your best diet choice for REAL cheese
is skimmed Mozzarella - bold taste, smaller calories/fat - about 70 calories
per ounce.
Try enjoying a plate of fresh
fruit with a couple of ounces of thinly sliced cheese for lunch or dinner. Toss
a few of your favorite crackers on the plate, too. A fabulous mix is 1/2
a sliced apple, 2 ounces of cheese, 1 cup of sliced strawberries, a kiwi, and
a few grapes from the vine.
 Bacon
- What is this? Cheese? Bacon? How dare we recommend
these evils on a diet, right?
Rest easy because YES, you can
have bacon while dieting. Microwaving will save you even more calories
and fat than the frying method. Three medium slices contain about 100
calories. Toast a couple of slices of bread (70 calories each), spread
a bit of LIGHT Miracle Whip onto the bread, then top with the bacon, a few slices
of tomato (vine-ripened tastes best!) and lettuce. For about 275 calories,
you've got a sandwich fit for a king!
French's
has a product called,
"GourMayo"
that's divine! The 'sun dried tomato' version contains 50 calories per
Tablespoon with 5 grams of fat. (The total fat calories are 45 - eeek!) Therefore,
you may wish to add HALF the recommended amount. You'll be surprised how
far a Teaspoon will go and the recipe is extremely tasty, so you need less anyway.
There is also a roasted pepper version - and Chipotle.
Some other great mentionables
that you might like to consider for your main meal entree include baked potato
and tasty soups.
