How To Make Diet Food Interesting

My mother and I were talking about diets and food the other day, and she told me my grandmother used to make pasta five nights a week. I remember my grandmother as a wonderful cook who could make anything taste good. She made all kinds of meals, not just spaghetti. She also made ziti with vegetables, linguine with clam sauce, and tuna casseroles. By the time I finish naming off a regular week’s worth of pastas, I will turn blue in the face. But it did not feel as though we were eating pasta every night. One of the most popular reasons that people fall off their diet and eating plans is they lose interest in the food. It’s easy to look at the foods allowed on your diet and see it as conditional and uninteresting. Chicken 3 times a week. Fish 2 times a week, and vegetables coming out of the wazoo. Who does’t get tired of that! Anyone with a descent set of cookbooks and good imagination can make some fabulous foods.

Stock up your cabinets with different spices and stock your refrigerator with fruits and vegetables, then look for ways to use them. Here are some tips for an inspiring, healthy, low-calorie eating diet. Spices are one of the fastest ways out of the diet blues. Rosemary and fennel chicken, mint pork, pepper and lemon on fish. The less flavor the food has, the better the effect of the spices. Vinegarettes make great marinades for meats and dressings for hot and cold meals. Try broccoli drizzled with berry vinegarettes or pork spiced up with apple vinegarette and pepper. Infused olive oil with fennel, tarragon, and a whole lot more. My sister gave me a set of oils one day and it completely changed the way I cook. Low sodium soy sauce is another good one, that will flavor up anything. The bitterness of leafy green vegetables such as spinach were designed to be eaten with oranges, or pineapples. Here are a few good cookbooks to help you fight the food diet blues. If you’re constantly eating fast foods because you simply don’t have the time to make good tasting healthy meals, check out these books. Now you’ve got some ideas and resources there should be no excuse for you to live with uninspiring foods even when you are on a diet.
