How to Lose Weight Without Dieting & Get Healthier in the Process
Healthy Tips for Vegetables
Healthy Tip #1 - If you can't stand the stink - get out of the kitchen!
Recently, Tom and I prepared some Brussel Sprouts with our stir fry and we almost had to take apart the house to get the stink out. It was horrific. Even OUST Air Freshener was useless against removing the stink.
That wasn't the worst of things.... Later that evening, we found need of going outside. The after effects were yes - that potent. Better outside than melting off the paneling and wallpaper, right? Unfortunately, our 'a-holes' turned into 44 magnums.
The next morning, I swore to never cook Brussel Sprouts, cabbage or broccoli again. Yes, they are healthy. And yes, they are stinky. With this said, the next time we have these green giants of gas, we'll have them at a restaurant - and very minimal amounts at that. As for broccoli and cabbage, these are easy to get around. Simply serve them raw in your next salad. No cook. No stink. We like. And as long as they aren't paired with other volatile foods, all should be fairly quiet on the home-front.
Healthy Tip #2 - If you or your loved ones aren't Veggie Heads, try preparing veggie patties. Shred some veggies, then add a bit of flour and a spoon of baking powder, a dash of salt and pepper, then 'fry' on the stove top using cooking spray.
Healthy Tip #3 - Raw veggies make terrific snacks. Try dipping in a lovely pool of yogurt for a healthy difference.
Healthy Tip #4 - Although vegetables are naturally low in calories, what we tend to drown our veggies in is not. Butter, cheese, sauces - limit and save calories and fat.
Healthy Tip #5 - Corn and potatoes get an unfair wrap when it comes to 'foods to avoid because they cause weight gain'. It just ain't so. An ear of corn contains about 100 calories. A small potato, only 120. Again, it's what we pile on top which in turn, piles on weight gain.
