Weightzapper Cooking

Be a “Weightzapper”! Cooking is not new to weight loss, but many chefs are, out of self-defense, are finding themselves cooking up “weight-reducing” dishes. In a recent USA Today article overweight chefs reportedly “cooked themselves thin”. By eating low calorie foods that are, of course, prepared to be very tasty. You CAN achieve your weight loss goals. Several chefs were “spotlighted” and had lost a good deal of weight.

There are many recipes that you can find on the internet, but you probably have a great many of them in that cook book that you have in the back of your bookshelf. Some minor preparation may be needed to fix these dishes, but the rewards are well worth the effort. Some of the more recent cookbooks even have the calorie and fat count for each recipe. It is well worth checking out. There are always the bookstores. I have not been in a bookstore that did not have books on cooking. Since there is a “trend” toward Healthy Eating, you will find that there are quite a few books out there that have recipes that are oriented towards lowering fat and calories in cooking. If you have a second-hand bookstore you will find many shelves filled with recipe books. Many of these will not necessarily be recent (as people usually are making room for their newer books, but it is surprising how many really good cook books they will have. Most of us understand that recipes utilizing a lot of fruits and vegetables will likely be more healthy. One cookbook that I have recently used also doubles as a weight loss program.

If you look for recipes that include a lot of vegetables, fish, and chicken, you will probably find them to be lower in fat and calories. Look at the recipes and see what they are using for ingredients. If they use cream for a sauce, you can substitute 2% or skim milk in many cases. You should not need to add sugar to most vegetable dishes unless they are wanting you to put on a glaze.
Sometimes you can substitute a citrus juice for the glazing ingredient. It depends upon the recipe. There are a lot of of things that you can do with recipes to make them lower in fat and calories, but will still insure that the dish retains it’s flavor.
Using olive oil rather than butter (except for baking) will reduce cholesterol. Using fruit juices for sweeteners rather than sugar will help with calories. Look around you kitchen and see what you have hidden away behind those cans and boxes on your kitchen shelves. Be creative and zap off that weight at the same time.
You may even find that will enjoy cooking with those pots and pans again rather than the microwave.

When you are considering what to prepare, you always want to remember the basics guidelines of good eating. If you want to lose weight, then you need to know that veggies and fruits are excellent options to keep in your diet. Obviously, you are going to stay away from the high-fat, high-caloric foods (if your intent is to control your weight). Most cook books have sections that are labeled “vegetables”, or “low-fat”. As mentioned previously, there are also many excellent recipes that you can get for free online. I work as a cook in a small mom and pop restaurant and the owner gets a great many of her recipes off of the internet, for FREE!

If you are trying to lose weight you can get a free report that explains how to choose a weight plan and how to overcome some of the mental challenges of weight loss. Also, why it might be your program, and not you, that keeps you from losing the weight that you have been trying to get rid of all of these months – or years!
