Healthy Food Tastes Better!


How is it that we can?t seem to think that something nutritious and healthy could in fact be tasty and enjoyable? Ever since I started to eat healthy food I have discovered new tastes, new flavours and new favourites. I do it almost daily. When I stopped looking at meat as the main ingredient of a meal I found a hundred new ways to prepare a good meal. I did not exclude meat completely, only the kinds that contain saturated fat. I continued to eat chicken, turkey and fish. (Chicken has its fat in the skin, so you can cut it off.) I eat vegetarian dishes at least three days a week, and the veg food has become my favourite food. Why? Because it tastes so good and the food is so easy to vary. I can?t think of a life without it anymore. It would be a poor life. This food is a treasury and it has given me energy and strength that I did not have before.

Eating Outside Your Box


One way to combat the boredom many people complain accompanies eating healthy is to ?eat outside your box,? by experimenting with new foods and cuisines and by challenging your long held notions about what to eat and when. Iceberg is not the only kind of lettuce, apples and oranges aren?t the only fruits and there is no law that says you can?t eat mushroom lasagna for breakfast and a southwestern omelet for dinner.
