Healthy Food Cooking and Weight Loss - The Right Tools Can Make Big Differences

Eating healthy foods can be very boring. Having raw vegetables, fruits, and yogurt is great but not really enjoyable if you have them every day. This is not the only way to eat healthy, and you can make some gourmet meals out of them. First, you need to have good tools in the kitchen. Pans are very important but I wrote an article exclusively on them. So, I want to focus on other tools.

A number of health conscious individuals like to eat lean meats and egg whites because they are very low in fat. Because they don't have fat, the cooking time should be very short. If you cook egg white too long, it tends to bounce. If you overcook meat such as beef, pork and chicken, it gets too chewy and tough. However, if you undercook the meat, it can cause a food poisoning.

An instant-read thermometer can help you check the food temperature to cook just right. Some people wrongly use this thermometer by leaving it in the food while cooking. It doesn't indicate an accurate temperature of the food. You should stick it in the food only when you need to check the temperature. If you pay attention to professional chefs on cooking shows, you can often see thermometers in their shirt pockets.

You definitely need measuring tools such as measuring cups, spoons and scales. You don't have to measure every food you eat because eating won't be enjoyable anymore. But, it is a good idea to keep track roughly how much food you are taking and this will help you with your weight loss plan.

The majority of salad dressing is high in calories, and if you shake the dressing bottle over your salad, you might put too much and you wouldn't know it. If you use a measuring spoon, you could cut another one hundred calories. In the same way, if you just eat three ounces of steak instead of four ounces, you would take seventy five less calories. The small numbers add up very quickly as we eat throughout the day.

Breaking 2 Big Myths in Weight Loss

I'm sure you've heard many different myths to losing weight. Some may have been true and others not. I'm here to debunk 2 of the biggest myths floating around. In this article I will explain why you don't need to exercise to burn fat and break the myth that your metabolism slows down after 30.

I need to exercise to lose fat, WRONG!

The truth is you do not gain body fat because you are lacking in exercise, you gain weight because your sugar levels exceed what you are using. So when you break it down, it usually means you are consuming too many calories at one time. One of the biggest reasons for over-eating is due to people missing breakfast.

You're metabolism slows down after you turn 30, WRONG!

There have been hundreds of research studies that have shown the slow down in the metabolism is due to a loss of muscle tissue. Loss of muscle tissue is directly related to a lack of physical activity. Most people after 30 stop working out, they stop going to the gym and they stop participating in events. This is obviously not everyone that does that, but most do.

I had to get those 2 myths off my chest because I constantly hear people talking about them all the time. Eat smaller meals, eat healthier and you can lose weight without exercise. Your metabolism doesn't slow down because of your age it slows down because your physical activity slows down.

I have done my best to explain why these theories are myths. As I always mention, don't overlook simplicity. Usually it's simplicity that gets the job done. We will talk soon.
