Delicious Recipes that Help You Lose Weight!

Let’s face it—dieting isn’t fun!

When you think of the word “diet” it probably brings other not-so-fun words to mind like “hunger,” and “deprivation.”

If you’re like most women, you’ve probably tried them all—the “don’t eat past 6pm” diet, the “protein only” diet, the “rice cakes and wilted lettuce” diet…

That last one is a little extreme—but I’m sure you know what I mean!

The truth is you don’t have to survive on bland, boring foods or deprive yourself just to lose those pounds.

It is possible to eat great foods and lose weight at the same time.

The secret? You need to choose quality foods and have a willingness to try new things.

You can get down on delicious meals and shed pounds too.

Go for the Right Foods

You can’t possibly lose weight if the foods you use to prepare your meals are unhealthy and loaded with calories.

When you avoid processed nonsense and stick with fresh ingredients, you’re already on your way to a svelte, sexy you!

A good rule of thumb is to avoid anything boxed, frozen, jugged or canned is considered processed…

These have no place in a healthy diet.

Foods that should be staples in your healthy meal plans include fresh fish, naturally raised meats, organic poultry, organic whole eggs, raw nuts, fresh herbs, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables.

Natural foods are SO much better for you because they are low in calories and filled with plenty of nutrients your body can use.

Also, natural foods aren’t loaded with a laundry list of additives that contribute to weight gain, diabetes, cancer, hypertension and other health problems.

Don’t Be Afraid to Experiment

I love grilled chicken, but if I had to eat it every day, I’d go bananas—I imagine you would too!

Free yourself from the bondage of humdrum, tasteless meals by experimenting with recipes.

Thumb through cookbooks, surf the Internet and use your imagination to whip up meals you can’t wait to sink your teeth into.

When you come across recipes that have unhealthy ingredients, simply swap the bad ingredients out for healthier ones.

For instance, if a recipe calls for milk, you can replace this ingredient with coconut or almond milk. Also, don’t be afraid to switch out spices and seasonings to add a new flavor to a dish.

Vary your cooking methods to keep things fresh and give food a different taste. For instance, if you always broil your steak, try sautéing it, or covering it with olive oil and dropping it on the grill.

All of these cooking methods are healthy and easy to master.

To get you started on your journey to a happy, healthy eating and weight loss, here are two of my favorite recipes…

2 Fabulous Recipes to Help You Eat Great and Lose Weight

Recipe #1—Healthy French Toast

• 2 slices of Sprouted Grain, Spelt or Rice bread
• 1 tablespoon of real butter
• 2 whole organic eggs
• Maple syrup
• Cinnamon

Directions: Mix the eggs in a bowl. Dip the bread in the egg mixture until it is completely coated on both sides.

Heat a pan on low to medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the egg-coated bread and cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes.

Sprinkle the toast with cinnamon and serve it with 2 teaspoons of maple syrup.

Recipe #2—Baked Chicken a la Isabel (one of my own creations)

• 1 whole baking chicken
• Extra virgin coconut oil
• Your favorite Italian spices (I use thyme, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, sea salt and pepper)

Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a small pan and melt it over low heat. Mix 1 to 2 teaspoons of each of your spices in a small bowl and pour in the melted coconut oil.

Mix all the ingredients together. Let the spice and coconut oil mixture cool.

Rub the spice and oil mixture under the skin of the chicken with your hands.

Once the chicken is completely coated, place it breast side down in a glass baking pan and pop it in the oven.

Let the chicken cook for 1 to 2 hours until it’s done.

Try these recipes and I promise you there’s nothing boring or tasteless about them!

If you’re creative and are willing to experiment with new recipes, you can chow down like this everyday and look fantastic doing it.
