Look through the 6 Week Body Makeover recipes and you will notice that the majority of the foods listed are foods that you already eat in your everyday life. This is great because you don’t have to substitute a meal for a gross tasting shake or boring, small portioned, micro-wave dinner.
Regardless of the type of body you have, your mission is to reduce oil and fat out of all the foods that you cook. When many people cook, they add a large amount of fat into their diet just by adding oil to the pan so that the food will not stick to the pan. The oil does not add flavor to your food, you just use it to make the food not stick the pan. What a waste of calories!
Make sure you buy a quality nonstick pan. This way you don’t have to add globs of oil to your meals. Make sure you own at least one high quality pan. You will save money by not purchasing high calorie oils. Also you will be amazed how easily foods release from the pan, which means less mess for you and additional fat on your food.
Do not use nonstick spray when cooking eggs. Preheat the frying pan before putting the eggs in the pan. The eggs will cook faster and will not stick to the pan. Remember, a non-stick frying pan is the key to cooking eggs. Use some water when cooking vegetables. Water is a great substitute when sauting veggies in a frying pan. When the water level gets low, just add some more!
Use a vegetable stock or no sodium chicken broth when cooking chicken or fish. Also you can use white wine as a good nonstick agent for meats. Don’t worry about the calories in the alcohol, they will burn away when cooking your meat.
