See Beautiful, But Remember Health Comes First
Summary
Henry Ford once said, "Whether you think you can, or you can't, you are usually right." Improving yourself starts with believing you can. It’s not about dieting; it's about making better choices and embracing changes. The weight didn't come on overnight, and it won’t come off that fast either. Be patient, and remember, you're not giving up flavor?"you're savoring healthy, delicious food.
Transformative Eating: A Personal Story
Six years ago, my husband weighed 241 lbs. and had to undergo a triple bypass. Today, he’s 178 lbs., and his cholesterol is down to 108. I made subtle changes in his diet without sacrificing taste. For example, I swapped ground beef for veggie protein in chili and used veggie cheese instead of the regular no-fat cheddar. He loved it! When he started losing weight, he wondered if something was wrong. I had to tell him the secret behind his meals.
I discovered a cookbook full of creamy comfort foods he loved but without the heavy cream, butter, and cheese. I substituted fat-free half & half or evaporated skim milk for cream and used trans-fat-free margarine. Over time, I didn’t need the cookbook anymore?"I could convert any recipe to be low-fat and low-calorie.
Recipe Example: Chicken in a Creamy Mustard Sauce
This revamped recipe originally used veal, not chicken. The modifications included:
- Ingredients:
- 2 boned, skinned chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon flour
- ¼ teaspoon each of salt & pepper
- 1½ teaspoons each of olive oil & margarine
- ½ cup each of diced onion & sliced mushrooms
- ½ cup fat-free half-and-half or evaporated skim milk
- 1 tablespoon each of Dijon mustard & fresh parsley
- 1½ teaspoons lemon juice
- Instructions:
1. Dredge chicken in flour, salt, & pepper.
2. In a non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on both sides (about 2 minutes per side). Remove chicken.
3. In the same skillet, heat margarine until bubbly. Add onions & mushrooms and sauté until lightly browned.
4. Reduce heat, add half-and-half, mustard, parsley, and lemon juice. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens. Serve over chicken.
