How to Lose Weight Without Dieting & Get Healthier in the Process
Healthy Tips for Sandwiches
Healthy Tip #1 - Diet breads, gourmet breads, low-carb breads - there are enough breads on the market these days for the most discriminate of tastes, each containing its own unique flavor along with its own unique calorie content.
So our first healthy tip for sandwiches is to choose bread that contains the flavor you desire while keeping a lit on calories. While the 35-calorie bread that tastes like sawdust may not be an option, opting for the 70-calorie bread over the 150-calorie bread can influence your scales in a positive way while allowing you to enjoy your sandwich.
Healthy Tip #2 - Choosing a whole grain bread will add nutritional value to your sandwich, as well as those that are packed with seeds and dried fruits.
Healthy Tip #3 - Branch out from the a-typical bread. Experiment with bagels, kangaroo pockets, flatbread, tortillas and so forth when making sandwiches.
Healthy Tip #4 - For those 'hot' sandwiches, rather than smearing the bread with butter or margarine, try spraying with butter-flavored cooking spray, then toasting. Odds are, you'll never know the difference. BUT, your good health and weight scales will!
Healthy Tip #5 - For sandwiches containing a salad mixture, such as chicken or egg salad, opt for light salad dressing over Mayo and save, save, save on calories and fat grams. Also try adding healthy foods to salad mixtures when it seems feasible - such as dried cranberries and chopped walnuts to chicken salad. And when preparing the salad mixtures, go light on the salt. Sodium contributes to water retention which in turn makes the heart work harder.
Healthy Tip #6 - Pile on the veggies which contain minimal calories and maximum nutrition!
Healthy Tip #7 - Take care when choosing the spread for your sandwich. Opt for mustard over Mayo; even spreading a thin layer of whipped cream cheese onto your bread can save calories over using full-blown Mayo.
