LOW FAT COOKING TIPS & RECIPES

Low fat cooking is easy and delicious.  I can make any recipe healthier with less fat.  My simple changes add nutrition, have fewer calories, have more fiber & are very tasty.  Below are a few of my favorite healthy recipe tips that I live my LivFit Lifestyle by…

Note, if you eat saturated or trans fats you will get fat.  That also goes for sugar, even though it’s fat free, don’t let labels stating “fat free” fool you.  Sugar is the nonfat high body fat producing foods that you need to stay away from if you want to be lean, fit and healthy.

Low fat Cooking Tips

·         Always use butter in place of Crisco or oil when baking.

·         Use Pam cooking spray in place of oil or butter

·         Use ½ the fat; ie if the recipe calls for 2 cubes of butter only use 1(only use real butter, not margarine)

·         Use apple sauce in place of butter or Crisco it will make cookies and cakes light & fluffy

·         Replace all white flour for whole wheat flour (white wheat has a lighter taste & texture than red wheat)

·         Replace sugar for either brown sugar or better yet Blue Agave (it’s a low glycemic index food) and you only use half the amount called for.  Blue Agave is a wonderful sugar replacement for any meal.

·         Use cinnamon whenever you can.  It aids in balancing the blood sugar levels and taste great too!

·         Eat your veggies raw, they have more nutrients and fiber that way

·         Use plain low fat Greek yogurt in place of sour cream

·         Use fresh herbs when possible, it will add a lot of flavor and added nutrition to any meal

·         Use Wish Bone spray Balsamic Breeze vinaigrette salad dressing

·         Add protein powder to your pancakes, oatmeal and even cookies

·         Buy fat free whenever possible

·         Use spaghetti squash in place of spaghetti, it tastes yummy and it’s high in fiber & beta carotene

·         Use low calorie vanilla almond milk in place of skim milk, it has less sugar and calorie than skim milk and taste great too

·         Replace table salt for sea salt, use sparingly (it adds more flavor and has minerals you body needs)

·         Buy foods that have the least amount of ingredients (the longer the list of ingredients the less healthy it is) 

Best of all have fun with your meal planning and be creative!  Think each meal through and think of how you can cut the fat and calories of any recipe, it’s a lot of fun and is highly rewarding; your body will thank you for it!
