Lose weight and reach ideal body weight with healthy cooking

November 30, 2008 | By Valen | In Weight loss diet 

Today is Sunday, but there is no time for rest as my parents in law’s family is coming over for dinner tonight. So, it’s a busy cleaning and cooking day for me. (I have a lot to do after writing this post!) :)

My menu for today’s dinner will be:
1. Roast chicken
2. Grilled spareribs
3. Grilled scallop with asparagus
4. Stir-fried mix vegetables

How does that sound? ;)

The roast chicken recipe I have suggests to rub BUTTER with herbs over the chicken skin and also spread under the chicken skin before putting it into the oven. That doesn’t sound very healthy, huh?

So, I am going to change the recipe. Instead of using butter, I will just marinate the chicken with lemon and ginger peels, soya sauce, pepper and herbs. Right before I put the chicken into the oven, I will just drizzle some sunflower seed oil over the chicken and bake it together with a mixture of fresh herbs, potatoes and carrots. This sounds much better, isn’t it?

Remember, in order to lose weight to reach ideal body weight and become healthy, one doesn’t have to go ‘dieting’. Focus on healthy eating instead! That’s why instead of frying the ribs and scallops I go for grilling because less oil will be required when cooking this way.

Speaking of eating healthily, you would also want to keep that in mind this Christmas. ;P There are some tips on how to lose weight before Christmas and how to keep weight off during Christmas. Hope those tips will help to keep your weight under control this coming holiday!
