Easy Weight Loss with Healthier Meals
Summary
Enjoying meals at home with family doesn’t have to be an unhealthy affair or a bland experience. By making a few subtle adjustments in your food choices, you can see a significant difference on the scales.
Choose Lean Meats
There’s no need to eliminate meat from your diet?"just opt for leaner cuts. Thanks to modern trimming techniques, meats are now leaner than ever. Look for beef labeled as "loin," "round," or "extra lean."
According to the Wisconsin Beef Council, cuts like top round, tenderloin, or sirloin are excellent lean selections. To maintain these benefits, choose healthy cooking methods such as roasting, baking, grilling, braising, or broiling. Use non-stick pans and replace oil or butter with cooking sprays. For ground beef, draining and rinsing it with hot water can further reduce fat content.
Opt for Lean Chicken
Chicken is often a go-to for lean protein, but it’s easy to turn this healthy option into an unhealthy dish. Avoid fried items such as patties, chicken fingers, nuggets, and franks. Instead, broil, roast, bake, or steam fresh chicken using non-stick pans with cooking spray, broth, or wine.
Remember, poultry dark meat contains about twice as much fat as white meat, and skin adds even more fat. Opt for skinless varieties or remove the skin before eating.
Consider Lean Turkey
When cooking turkey, prepare the stuffing separately. This reduces fat absorption from the turkey. Use less butter or margarine in the stuffing, and skim the fat off the gravy using a separator or by refrigerating it. Choose light meat over dark to save on calories, leaving the drumsticks for the kids.
Steam Your Greens
Instead of heavy casseroles or cheese-based dishes, serve steamed vegetables. Steaming or microwaving vegetables eliminates the need for added fats during preparation. Opt for lemon juice, herbs, or vinegar instead of margarine. If you prefer sautéed veggies, use less oil or substitute with broth or flavored vinegar.
Embrace Whole Grains
Whenever possible, choose whole grains for your meals. Opt for whole grain breading for stuffing, whole grain dinner rolls, whole wheat bread for sandwiches, and wild rice instead of white.
White bread often contains refined sugars and more calories, falling into the “bad carbs” category. If you crave white bread occasionally, select a "lite" or diet version to cut down on calories.
By making these smart choices, you’ll be well on your way to healthier and more satisfying meals that assist with weight loss.
