Foods we love with the guilt taken out!

We all love to eat junk food and anything that isn't good for us probably because it's so tasty! I have a few suggestions that might help the developing muffin...

CHEESE
Choose a reduced fat version whenever possible. Swiss cheese is said to have less fat.
BURGER
Always order a burger without the cheese or a least half the cheese.
CHOCOLATE
If you love your chocolate whatever it may be, try dipping fruit into melted chocolate for a yummy snack. You'll only need to dip a few strawberries in chocolate to feel satisfied. You have had your choc hit with less fat because you are only coating the fruit. Of course the fruit makes it a somewhat healthy snack as well.
COFFEE - First of all down size the cup to the smallest, you will still get a caffeine hit. Skim milk instead of full cream. You could go back to the basics where most of the drink consists of hot water with a dash of milk.
Avoid whipped cream, you could be packing on 18 to 30 unwanted calories. The amount of sugar in some coffee drinks is unbelievable 8 teaspoon sugar in a large syrup flavoured late, 12 teaspoons in a large Caramel flavored Mocca.
PIZZA
Ask for half the cheese or just a sprinkling on top, I think we really need cheese in some way on a pizza!
NACHOS
One loaded Nacho chip will give you 50 calories and half those calories are fat! We don't stop at one either. Use pita bread which you have cut into triangles and crisp up in the oven, make your own Nacho low fat sauce -
1 can of Mexican chili beans
1 tablespoon of Salsa (hot or mild)
1 tablespoon Low fat sour cream
Half a cup of low fat grated cheese
Arrange Mexican beans, salsa the way you want them on a plate and heat in microwave for 2 minutes. Then top with the cheese and grill, when the cheese melts take out and finish with the sour cream jalapenos. Serve with pita oven crisped triangles on the side.
DONUTS
Always order a cinnamon doughnut with the hole in the middle no jam, cream or icing.
BISCUITS
Purchase or make little biscuits, this way you can eat a couple without the guilt of eating a few average size biscuits.
CHIPS or FRIES
Oven bake instead of fry. Part cook cut potatoes - (how ever you want them) in a microwave oven before putting them into the conventional oven, then season. Heat the oven to 200 C spray with oil and cook until crisp.

Hope these tips will help someone with their weight loss plan.

See you tomorrow - Sim
