Changing Ones Lifestyle With Easy And Healthy Recipes

By Marjorie Richards


Every piece of food that you swallow will affect your body. To be fully fit, you need to start inside out and that begins with preparing easy and healthy recipes. With this newfound skill, not only can you prepare well-balanced diet for yourself but for everyone you wish to share your new lifestyle with.

A simple Google search can generate a lot of good recipes. Well-balanced recipes are not just easy to do; they are fast as well. Imagine washing greens, drizzling vinaigrette and nuts then tossing everything. Aside form directly searching on the Internet, you can join a health club online. These clubs can have a mailing list that forward you new fresh healthy recipes everyday.

If you are coming from an unhealthy lifestyle, the chances of you giving up this healthy diet is high. Because of this, it is important to note your favorite dish and incorporate it to your new recipes. Doing so will ease you into the transition because it will give a sense of familiarity. For example, if you love meatballs, you can put mini meatballs in the freshly tossed salad you made. Do this until you discover other substitutes for the meatball. You need not remove it totally from your diet.

Some people are lucky enough to grow up with home cooking. They want comfort food like mom used to make, which tends to be rich and caloric. You can imitate it with different, healthier ingredients and derive as much enjoyment as ever. It comes from a newfound knowledge of basic food groups and their impact on metabolism.

Be inspired with what you eat at restaurants or fast food chains and create a home cooked version yourself. If you love burger, prepare all the ingredients from scratch. You know all the contents of what you eat so you are 100% sure that is healthy. If you love noodles, you can give your favorite ramen a twist by making it spicier. In fact, making a dish spicy makes it healthier too.

Get fresh produce when you shop. Avoid the aisle of canned goods. Remember that you can make the canned goods fresh from scratch. Spanish sardines for example are preserved mackerel bursting with flavor. You can do that and adjust the flavor that suits your taste. Canned tomatoes for example can be substituted by tossing fresh tomatoes in a blender. Know also the tell tale signs of fresh meat - fish, meat and poultry. Fresh ingredients are not just nutritious, they contribute greatly to the taste of your meal.

When following a recipe, substitute some ingredients with their "lighter" "fat free" counterparts. Not only are these substitutes sometimes cheaper but also they have 50% less calories and fat.

After you have succeeded in making a well-balanced recipe, document it. By doing so, grocery shopping and cooking it will be a lot quicker. And if someone asks you to do it, you can do it for him the way you liked it. Stock your fridge with healthy raw materials so you can automatically pick from there. Most f all, stick to this healthy lifestyle. It will do wonders to your wellness.
