INTRODUCTION
The concept of healthy lifestyle is getting popular by the day. Being fit and healthy doesn’t only keep a person active but also attractive. Generally, healthy lifestyle is associated with healthy foods, and avoiding the junk or foods that are filled with fats and cholesterol. It implies sacrificing food taste or appeal at the cost of being healthy. However, the compilation of recipes in this book provides you with savory taste while keeping you in good health.
While the recipes are low caloric foods, they are filled with all the delicious flavours that appeals to even a choosy food lover. The recipes are just for two people; so you can enjoy a nutritious bond with you and your partner, your roommate, your child, a close friend, a relative or even a neighbour. You will agree with me that it is not always easy to cook for two people; you will have to get the appropriate measurements of the ingredients and create the time to cook the food while hoping that you will not have too much leftovers or leave out a vital ingredients to the meal. Of course, there is also the desire to ensure that you are preparing a healthy meal; rich in nutrients, satisfying and keeps you in good health.
This cookbook will help you prepare healthy, home-cooked meals to enjoy with the person you love. It starts with breakfast, brunch and dinner recipes. These are the meals that are made on a daily basis and hence if these are high in calories, you will become overweight in the long run and will need to address the myriad of health issues that come with being overweight and leading an unhealthy lifestyle. But this will not be, as the most of the recipes are low calorie, low in fat, but rich in fibre, proteins, mineral and calcium which are needed for a trim, fit and healthy body. All these are fun to try and to introduce some great flavours in your menu.
I have also included soups and stews which remain in demand at all seasons since these are light to digest and get prepared in no time. For spice lovers, stews are one of the most favourite food items. The best thing happens when you get all these with low calories. The recipes included here are all under 300 caloric values and provide a great treat especially during winter.
White meat or chicken contains lesser caloric value than red meat and this is why it is highly recommended for healthy meals. Also, it can easily be prepared in various innovative ways. Poultry lovers will love my compilation of this category of recipes as they are tasty, quick-cooking and of course, low in calories. For those who do not have enough time to cook delicious chicken and turkey recipes, this easy- to- prepare recipes are for you.
Beef, lamb and veal based recipes can be low in caloric value too. This greatly depends on the ingredients and their combinations used in the recipes. You will love the recipes here. They are great to try on weekends so you could devote enough cooking time to them. In addition, you will enjoy some great pork recipes, enriched with pork’s delicious taste but have low caloric value. You can try these out on occasions, special dinners and so on.
Healthy eating will not be complete without green vegetables in your diet. Vegetables are not just helpful in maintaining good health but they aid weight loss and obesity. I have included some great vegetable recipes that prove that even vegetables can be so delicious and you don’t have to sacrifice taste at all. These are very easy and quick to make. Make them a part of your daily menu and you will enjoy tremendous health benefits.
Included are also sea foods and fish. They are amazingly filled with minerals and nutrients that your body needs. While there are a large variety of seafood recipes, those I have included are nutritious and help your diet plan and you can enjoy both taste and health. Fish like Salmon, Tuna etc are highly nutritious. Make them a part of your menu at least twice a week.
Your menu can’t be completed without some great appetizers and dips, which compliment your main course and add additional flavours to your meal. These dips and appetizers are so easy that a child of 5 of 6 years can make some of them. You can even store dips even up to a month. Make them a part of your daily diet. Lastly, we have the desserts. Desserts usually contain lots of sugar and fats, but not these ones. All the dessert recipes that you are going to find in here are all low in calories and can be made very easily and quickly.
Attached to all these recipes are nutritional data so you will see the calorie count of what you want to prepare and know how much carbohydrates, fat, and protein that are contained in each serving.
