Recipes Cooking Food & Weight
I mentioned in one of my previous posts that sometimes the missus complains about some of the stuff that I put into my cooking as she doesn't want to put on weigh tfrom recipes that can be fattening. Now I completely respect that cos at the end of the day as much as I enjoy cooking and messing around with different types of food and recipes I dont want to end out being a big ol boy myself.
Now my wife goes to one of these slimming clubs which works on a points system and basically you are allocated so many points a day and she has recipe books to cook from that has some wonderful recipes in to help you keep within these points.
Now don't get me wrong these arent bland and tastless recipes in this book and my wife has cooked some of these meals for me and they have been really tasty but we have only had about 2 or 3 meals from this recipe book (There is a point to all this so please stick with me)
Now on the other hand I dont measure points but I do like to cook from tasty recipe's using good quality fresh food and as you know by now I like my Indian and Italian cooking Over the past month I have done most of the cooking and guess what Both Him & Her have lost about the same amount of weight even though Him wasn't really trying
Why is this you may ask
Well from my wifes point of view she has done really well on following through with her plan and getting to the gym once a week
From my point of view I have replaced crisps (or chips as they are in the US) with fresh fruit
Now I know this isnt earth shatterin and even more so it is just plain common sense but here is my point
Being relaxed about what you eat and being sensible between your meals means that come meal time you can cook good food for yourself from some of the wonderful recipes that are available and not worry too much about your weight.
Again that isnt anything you probably havent heard before but it seems to me that when it comes to food cooking and recipes people think that they have to be on some kind of wierd shakes an pills and strict regime when in fact if that is what you do you cant sustain it whislt enjoying your cooking and enjoying your eating and being creative with your recipes leads to a lifetime of healthy diet but more importantly keeps your food fun and after all eatin should be pleasurable - shouldn't it?
Til next time
