Healthy Weight Loss
A Mediterranean style diet is a great way to keep fat a bay, when I lived in Cyprus, I used to enjoy the fresh fruits and vegetables and eat salad everyday, now in the Philippines the choice is more limited. here are a few tips on creating a healthy weight loss salad/
- Not only ate there many types of lettuce but you can also include cucumber and tomato as staple items. Do get creative and add as many colours as possible. Red peppers, yellow squash, orange carrot shavings, purple heirloom potatoes, even bright green kiwi will add crunch and flavour to your salad. my favourites are fresh pineapple and mango.
- Avoid high fat meats. Chicken and beef are great additions to a healthy salad, but be careful about the cut of the meat and the preparation method. Avoid fried, breaded or "crispy" chicken, and stay away from ground beef.
- Do add lean protein like grilled chicken breast and lean cuts of beef such as sliced tenderloin or flank steak. Fish is another great addition. Try salmon or tuna.
- Don't get carried away with toppings. A healthy salad can become a high fat diet disaster with the addition of croutons, bacon bits, cheese or high fat salad dressings.
- Do choose one healthy fat and add it sparingly. Avocado, low fat cheese, or a yogurt salad dressing will give your salad a satisfying creaminess. But use the Nutrition Facts label as your guide and add just one serving to keep the calorie count in check.
