Add a Healthy Twist to Your Favorite Foods
(firmenpresse) - MISSION, KS -- (Marketwired) -- 01/25/16 -- (Family Features) If you are like most Americans, you might have lapsed a little on your New Year''s resolution to eat healthier. Getting back on track is easy and guilt-free, and can be done with just a few steps.
Celebrity chef and registered dietitian Diane Henderiks offers three simple ways to help you get back on the right track and make sure you are eating the right foods:
Eliminate sugary drinks, like soda, as they don''t offer any nutritional value.
Identify ways to reduce the amount of food you eat, as we all tend to eat more than we need to.
Most importantly, limit the amount of carbohydrates you eat -- this means trying to reduce the amounts of pastas, breads and sugars you are consuming -- and focus on eating more fiber-rich vegetables, healthy fats and optimal protein.
"It''s easy to transform your favorite meals into healthy, low-carb meals that are rich in flavors and will satisfy you," Henderiks said.
Henderiks has transformed some of her favorite meals into low-carb deliciousness for each meal of the day, including dessert, because you can still enjoy your favorite sweets and all of their great flavors with a few twists that make them healthier.
Living a low-carb lifestyle can also be effective in helping you lose and keep off unwanted weight -- just in time for spring.
