Sure bacon tastes good. But we all know it is best in moderation. Fried food - again can be tasty and satisfy that need for salty, crunchy, greasy foods. Heck I had some fried calamari last night for dinner...and it was good! But fried cookies? Twinkies? Batter dipped bacon? Blehhh.
Why do we always look for the bigger, layered, if one is good six are better foods? I mean seriously, do you really feel good after eating 2 pounds of anything, even if it is wrapped in bacon? I have been guilty of downing a pint of ice cream myself...but I sure didn't feel good afterwards.
What is wrong with actually tasting the food you are eating? Fried food often does not taste like anything but the batter and the oil it was fried in. Compare fried fish to a piece of grilled fish with lemon. Do you see the difference? Now now, stop yelling boring! Diet Food! health nut....really fresh fish tastes good! As does well prepared anything. Think of a great restaurant you have eaten at - do you see fried anything? No it is typically grilled, braised, or roasted really good quality dishes.
Enjoy the chocolate crunch of an oreo - why fry it and make it greasy, and covered in a batter that now covers up the unique taste that is an oreo? Better yet, have fruit dipped in a great rich dark chocolate, melted over a small flame. Or in the microwave. Dark chocolate has health benefits, and you will have less fat overall and the benefit of the vitamins and fiber in a fruit.
So come on everyone - go for a walk, take up yoga, and look for the fresh options of the foods you like. Your bottom line will love you for it! And if you need help in making healthy food - give me a chance at www.homeplateadvantage.com
