“No one can resist the alluring attraction
of food. We used to wish that these delicious dishes are not only appetising
but also good for health. Actually, with several tips, you can make it become
true.”
I gaze at the sweet Valentine chocolate
brimmed with love and a little bit anxiety. My lover knows that I extremely
like the sweet, soft taste of this sweet, truly being attracted by them, I
always reminded myself about the fact that “there is neither good nor bad
dishes, food is food. That’s all”. I did it all the times until my stomache
came back then I wished I hadn’t eatean so carelessly like I did before.
I had to accept that the resistance towards
our favorite dishes is totally hard to do, including: potato chips, cheese,
wine, starch, and of course, chocolate. I went crazy with these 5 dishes and
hadn’t ever stopped this habbit. But I realized that I could indirectly change
its nature by decreasing the toxic chemicals (such as fat and toxins) and
increasing the nutrition in each dish (for example fiber, vegetable, minerals
and vitamins). As a result, I find a safe and sound solution for letting me
enjoy fully the eating hobby.
Towards the crispy and delicious food
Yanina Jezek, a diet expert shared “A
typical example for this kind of food is potato chips. Most people said to
themselves to eat just one piece, but later on, they will eat up a whole big
pack when watching TV”. There were several types of food easily driving women
into the continuous eating without control. In order to keep it under control,
Jezek divided the food into 3 levels: red, yellow and green – the same with
traffic light.
The implementing method is easy to
understand: the red alert list represented for the food that often made you eat
without control; the yellow alert list for the food that you seldom eat; the
green one was for the food that you can eat regularly.
If potato chips are in the red list, try to
leave them out of your sight, or you’d better forget them. According to Jezek,
the determination and your taste could change thanks to the time passed by and
you would forget these dishes.
Or you can find alternative options such as
crispy seaweeds, they are crispy and salty as potato chips but without fat, you
can easily buy it them in the department store selling good-for-health food or
Asian food. A package of seaweeds like that will be 4 grams weight, containing
10 thin pieces of seaweeds with less than 1 gram of fat and supply you 80
milligrams of Sodium and minerals in comparison with normal vegetables.
If you want it quicker and more delicious,
you can change it with baked potatoes, made from sugar beets, rich in folate
and fiber. All you need is a sugar beet, then peel and mix them with mashed
potato, then cut them into about 3 mm thin slices. Leave them for a while to
get dry, then pour them into a bowl with 2 teaspoons of olive oil
(approximately 10 ml), scatter them into 2 rows of potato on the tray, dust
some dry salt on it and bake them directly in the 160 Celsius degree in 45
minutes until they become crispy.
Towards the charming fat dishes
When discussing about this kind of food,
the nutrition expert Theresa Albert mentioned immediately cheese. According to
her: “Cheese is a spice, not an alternative for your meal”, she quoted from the
book “Tips for health with 52 ways of cheating your sense of taste” that: “The
main problem of the majority audience is that they can’t resist the seduction
of a tasty piece of cheese”. She pointed out 3 reasons why we ought to avoid
this dish, they were: fat, salt and less nutrition.
Albert added: “A lot types of cheese rich
in saturated fats, much more than fat in a grilled meat. A piece of cheese
contains 70 – 75% fat, nearly the same with the percentage in butter”. This
point made me hesitantly give up the greasy French cheese with the tripled
cream I used to love.
And the given solution was: Let’s reduce
slowly the fat amount you take in.
Albert guided: “Let’s use regularly
avocado, though it is rich in fat but most of it are fat which is good for
health, or is called monounsaturated fat. Besides, an amount of mashed peas
rich in fiber mixed with water can enable your body eliminate the toxins,
especially the fiber in vegetable can decompose the high fat”.
However occasionally, whenever your body
needs mineral which only have in cheese, the advice was using light cheese. The
expert Jezek shared: “Not all light cheese is awful like you think. For instant
I love the Babybel Light cheese because it is delicious, rich in nutrition and
easy to control the energy intake, such as 20 grams of this cheese supplies you
50 calories, 3 grams fat, 6 grams protein and nearly 1/5 the amount of calcium
you need to take in daily”.
