How to Lose Weight Without Dieting & Get Healthier in the Process
Healthy Tips for Beans
Healthy Tip #1 - Opt for two strips of raw bacon over salt pork when cooking beans from scratch. One ounce of salt pork contains about 212 calories and 24 mg of cholesterol. Two strips of bacon range from 50 to 80 calories and contains about 12 mg of cholesterol.
Healthy Tip #2 - You can make a sensational 3-Bean Salad in a flash. Allow a few hours for the salad to marinate before eating.
Here is our quick recipe: 1 can each of drained kidney beans, wax beans and green beans. Add 1/2 cup of white vinegar to 1/2 cup of Splenda (adjust to suit your personal taste). Add to the beans and stir until vinegar mixture coats all the beans. Add a small jar of drained pimentos if desired.
Healthy Tip #3 - You can also make healthier baked beans rather than the high-calories ones offered at the local market. Use 1 can of pork-n-beans. Add 1 Tablespoon of molasses + 1/4 cup of brown sugar + 1/4 cup of Splenda. Stir, then heat thoroughly.
Healthy Tip #4 - Try adding garbanzo beans to your next salad. OR, drain a can of garbanzo beans and cook them on the stove top in a non-stick pan using cooking spray. When the beans start to split open, remove from heat. Delicious!
Healthy Tip #5 - Add flavor to canned beans using your spice rack. Any of the following spices will kick up your beans several notches: ground cumin, chili powder, dried cilantro, dried onions.
