Low calorie recipes are everywhere - you can find them on websites, on numerous cookbooks, and you are not likely to have any blanks on your meal planner with all the options. All right, it is obvious that low calorie recipes are healthy, but whether they are delicious is a totally different matter altogether. Who, who, who, who indeed, as a lot of these dishes taste like a crumpled piece of paper. But that isn't the worst part of it all - a lot of them require a laundry list of ingredients that most grocers would confuse for a foreign language. So really, the question is, is it possible to find delicious low calorie recipes whose ingredients do not resemble something out of MAD Magazine mascot Alfred E. Neumann's cookbook?
It all depends on what you are used to eating - this is the best way to gauge how felicitous your meal would be.
Unless you can find recipes that call for bon bons, which is unlikely, you will have to make some sacrifices. If this is the case, you would be better off, instead of jumping headfirst into diet world, by gradually altering your diet by adding low calorie recipes and slowly removing the fatty foods. If you jump in to it too quickly, you are more likely to give up and go back to old habits. Another consideration, if you are making a drastic change, is to try to make the foods you already like in a different, healthier manner. Instead of frying or grilling those burger patties, why not broil them instead with a George Foreman Grill (tm) which is good in removing the high cholesterol content?
Once you have made a transition into eating right, then you have the green light to cook those low calorie recipes. As stated earlier, there really are a lot of recipes available online and in cookbooks - you just have to find some you like. You should start on the Internet and look for recipes with ingredients that sound good. If the ingredients are good and tasty, then the final recipe should be good and tasty, right? When you are first starting out, you may not want to go out and buy a stack of cookbooks. You should know what you want to do and when you want to do it, because you might as well be buying a magnet for dust.
No one wants to spend three hours looking through a book to decide what they want to eat. Embrace technology and search on the 'net - it's much faster that way, period.
