Dieting Recipes That Work Wonders

The success of a diet lies in the food you eat. But how can you enjoy dieting if all that you put in your mouth everyday are tasteless canned diet meals that you bought from the local grocer? Dieting doesn't have to be this harsh. If you'd only give it time, you can even prepare meals right at your own home. This gives you the benefit of knowing what ingredients you put in your meals and also saves you a lot of money than buying meals in restaurants offering low-fat meals. Try these simple recipes and begin a life of healthy cooking and living without leaving your house.

Dieting recipes are often characterized by white meat and vegetables. That is the usual diet. But nobody ever said that you are forbidden to eat red meat while on diet. Cut in half the serving you have when eating white meat and use that for red meat. So, for example, you have half a cup of chicken breast for lunch, then ? cup of beef would be a good substitute. If you'd rather use pork then choose not to eat the pork fat because this is rather full of cholesterol. Also, be sure that you cook it using healthier ways such as grilling of steaming. Deep fried may not sound so good even if you're using corn oil. Since you're already eating fatty meat, try at least to cook it in a healthier way. Try this simple recipe for a great addition in your diet meals:

Tuna and Vegetable Casserole

Cook rice using salted water. When the rice is done, mix in the pre-cooked tuna (or any in-season fish) with mushroom soup (homemade mushroom soup is preferred but using low-fat canned mushroom soup might be a substitute). Place diced carrots, corn, more mushrooms, and celery. Put spices according to taste. Afterwards, add ? cup of low fat milk. Make sure that you blend all the ingredients well enough. If you feel a little generous on yourself, place grated cheese on top. But make sure that the cheese is also low fat or you'll end up with more calories than you intend to eat. Bake this mixture at 350 degrees for 3-4 minutes. Serve warm.

And if you also want to pair it up with a great beverage, make your own healthy iced tea at home. Here's how to do it.

Lemongrass tea

Purchase fresh lemon grass from the supermarket. Boil this for 2 minutes and remove the lemongrass from the boiled water. Let it stand in room temperature. Do not put it inside the fridge to make it cool faster. Afterwards, add the juice of 1 lemon to every 3 cups of the lemongrass tea. Serve with ice and enjoy with the warm tuna casserole.

Simple and healthy recipes need not be expensive. In fact, this casserole will last for a couple of meals since it serves 3-4 people. Given the small servings of meals for people on diet, this is good for six servings.
