Healthy Food Menu – Secret Ingredients:

How would you like to have a convenient, delicious, easy and convenient way to create a healthy food menu?

Some people think that a healthy food menu has to be boring, bland and expensive or inconvenient.  This is simply not true.  Here are some easy to find, reasonably priced ingredients to help you create nutritional recipes, get more fit and healthy, have more energy and confidence, and with losing tummy fat:

Grapefruit

Most of us have heard that grapefruit is a great fruit for losing weight.  It’s not only a delicious breakfast food, but try it for dessert with a couple of spoons of sorbet on top, yum!  Studies have shown that people who eat grapefruit regularly lose more weight than those poor people in the control group who didn’t.

Avocado

Really??  Avocado?  Aren’t avocados full of fat?  How can this creamy, delicious fruit help us trim our waistlines?  Researchers suspect that the unsaturated fat in avocados may ratchet up body levels of the hunger-halting hormone called leptin — a hormone that lets your brain know that you’re full, so you stop eating. How wonderful is that?

Whole Grains

The closer we get to raw foods that are fiber rich, the better for losing weight and creating a healthy food menu.  Are you ready to trade your belly bulge for 6 pack abs? Throw your refined grains into the garbage, and eat more whole grains instead. Research studies demonstrate tremendous weight loss results with this one change. Good examples include: brown rice, quinoa, steel-cut oats, whole-grain cereal, and 100% whole-wheat bread and pasta.

Yogurt

A creamy, tangy snack that is loaded with calcium — and studies show that calcium may curtail weight gain by hindering the absorption of fat in the small intestine.  You may want to try Greek Yogurt – it has a thick robust flavor that is more filling.

Eggs

Start your day with a breakfast fat-burning morning boost by skipping toast and pancakes and feasting on a couple of eggs instead. According to a study, eggs are better than carbs when it comes to helping people feel full longer.  This wouldn’t necessarily be an every day breakfast as we want to limit our cholesterol intake but great 1 to 2 times a week.  Here’s a great tip – if you are preparing two eggs, simply remove the yolk and only use the egg white in your cooking.  Check out the video below to learn how  to separate egg yolks from egg whites:

Pistachios

Most nuts are high in fat, and thankfully it’s the healthful unsaturated kind of fat that is found in pistachios. Pistachios can also curb your appetite by providing protein and fiber. These qualities together explain why adding pistachios to the diet helped dieters in a study curb their appetites and lose more weight.

Mushrooms

Replacing meat with mushrooms in your nutritional recipes is one of the best, easy and tasty calorie-cutting trick. You’ll automatically cut about 500 calories per meal, because you’ll skip all the saturated fat contained in meat that seems to stick right to our bellies.

Olive Oil

Marinades and healthy salad dressings contain this rich-tasting oil that contains a hunger-busting monounsaturated fat called oleic acid.  Oleic acid triggers a complex process in the digestive tract that tells your brain you’re full and makes you want to stop eating.

Red Pepper

Live a more spicy life!  Add some flavor and spicy heat to your meals and you’ll boost not only the taste but also the effectiveness of your weight loss diet. A dash of cayenne pepper or some diced jalapeno or red peppers will do the trick. They all contain capsaicin — the heat-inducing compound in red peppers that, according to research, tamps down appetite and curbs compulsive eating and may even boost your metabolism.

Fava Beans

If you’ve never tried a fava bean, you’ll have to just trust me on this … they are creamy and hearty.  Fava beans are a lean protein source bursting with flavonoids.  In a long term study, these special antioxidants were shown to help hinder the accumulation of extra belly fat.

Rice with Veggies

What a great way to expand the value and flavor of rice.  By simply adding high-fiber vegetables like broccoli, carrots, and kale to your rice, you will help lower the calorie count. Adding veggies to rice at lunchtime appears to slow stomach emptying, according to research, so you will feel full longer. In fact, people tend to eat much less at dinner when they added veggies to their rice at lunch.
