I remember reading comic strip once. The main character was told by his doctor that he needed to avoid foods with high fat, sugar and cholesterol. He character asked how he would know what foods had that. The doctor said "If it tastes good, spit it out!"
Unfortunately, this has become the common misconception about healthy eating. Too often when we think of healthy eating, we think of plain rice, melba toast, boiled, unseasoned chicken breasts and celery. With a diet like that, it's no wonder most of us can't follow a diet plan. Gross!
The great news is, eating healthy doesn't have to be boring! There are a lot of healthy foods out there that are absolutely delicious! Fruits are the obvious one. Fruit is clearly very healthy, but also quite tasty! Fresh strawberries, juicy oranges, pineapples, melons. But there are countless other delicious foods that won't add to your waistline. Whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce, grilled fish, bbq chicken, lean roast beef.
Admittedly, it can be quite a task thinking up all of those delightful delicacies. Fortunately, for the more creatively challenged among us, there are a wide variety of cookbooks out there that have already done this job for us. This website is dedicated to reviewing the best ones that I've tried.
