Don't go down the ';Lo-fat'; or ';Lite'; road. Just eat whole grains (brown rice, wholemeal bread, ryvita, Kallo rice-cakes, oatcakes, wholemeal pasta,etc.) in place of the refined sort. Fill up with fruit %26amp; veg. Fats are often found in protein foods


- that's ok, just eat these in smaller amounts - you need some. Go for natural monosaturates or polyunsaturates instead of lots of saturates like meat or dairy. Experiment with different oils. Avocados are splendid. Nuts are good if not allergic, they contain a good range of vits%26amp;mins and trace elements.


Have small amounts of really good dairy or chocolate instead of lots of cheap %26amp; nasty fake, just as a treat.


And don't forget - Enjoy! It's important!
I've tried out many nice recipes from this website and very happy with the results.


Most importantly, there are all healthy recipes without compromise the taste, I have no worry about my waist line. :)


Hope you find it helpful.
