Maria asks…

What are some good diet recipes to make, I love chili so any diet chili to make? (with meat)?

I’m looking for some recipes that can help me lose, but a recipe that will give me a few leftovers.For example when I made the chicken soup, I had 26 cups, enough for a while to last me, so I want recipes to last me, since I don’t have a whole lot to spend on dieting all the time.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Depending how how low cal you want to make this, I can make it really low cal and very good, but it takes a bit of work.

Spray a non stick sautee pan with a bit of Pam. Then add diced 1 yellow onion, 2 cloves of garlic and half a pepper. Cook for about two minutes then add about 1/4 c. Chicken stock, 1 finely diced chipotle pepper in adobo with about 1 tsp. Of the sauce, and about 1 tbsp. Each salt, pepper, chili powder and cumin. Let this cook on a light simmer until the liquid is almost gone. Then add about 1 lb. Ground turkey breast. Sautee this up until almost done. Then add 2 large cans of diced tomatoes, 1 can of light kidney beans with the liquid and 1 can of dark kidney beans without the liquid. Mix in 1 tbsp each salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Also 2 tbsp. Of seasoning salt. Let it simmer on low for about 1 1/2 hours. It freezes really well. I do this all the time. Made it for superbowl and I thought I was going to have leftovers, but nothing.

Mary asks…

What are some diet recipes that contain meat?

My boyfriend is a country man, and I can’t cook a single thing without meat! Soup isn’t filling enough, and sometimes I can get him to eat a salad…on the side. Every diet recipe I look up either has chicken breast or fish. Well, those are expensive! Does anyone have some good recipes or even just ideas that I can feed this carnivore?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Beef is not necessarily high in calories. It’s the fat that makes them fattening.

Lean hamburger, flat iron steaks, flank steaks and leaner sirloin steaks are good choices.

You might have to experiment a little but there are millions of recipes out there you can alter easily by leaving out fattening ingredients or replacing them.

Chicken breast is really expensive if you buy it boneless and skinless but if you buy it skin and bone on it can be much cheaper. It’s easy to pull the skin off and the bones help keep it moist when it cooks and adds a lot of flavor.

Mandy asks…

Can anyone recommend any Yeast-Free Diet recipes or meal/snack ideas? Or tips on how to stay on track?

My wife has just gone onto a Yeast-Free diet and is struggling as she has a sweet tooth and is missing the suger and especially the chocolate. She has been suffering headaches, tiredness and mood swings.

Can anyone offer tips on what she can do to stay on track or even any foods she can eat a little to treat herself?

Recipes or ideas for snacks in particular – and also breakfasts, lunches and dinners – would be helpful. Anything you can offer would be appreciated.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Wow, this is a very challenging diet. I went on it after I had my first child. The best thing to do is focus on what you CAN eat. Here is a list:

Proteins:
Eggs
Beef
Chicken
Seafood
Turkey
Pork
Lamb
Duck
Pheasant
Goose
Veal
Cornish Hen
Nuts, Peanut Butter, Almond and Cashew Butter

Vegetables:
Asparagus
Avocado
Beets
Broccoli
Carrots (limited)
Cauliflower
Celery
Eggplant
Green Beans
Leaf Vegetables (Lettuce, Kale, Collards, Mustard, Greens, Swiss Chard)
Onions
Peas
Peppers
Potatoes (in moderation)
Radishes
Squash
Tomatoes
Turnips

Misc:
Oatmeal
Hummus
Seeds (Sunflower, Pumpkin, Sesame)

I have some recipes on my website that might work for your wife’s diet. Here is the link to one for sesame crackers that does not have any yeast or leavening in it; high in protein, it is one of my favorites:

I hope this helps and good luck to your wife. I felt great after I did this diet, it was more than worth it.

James asks…

Diet recipes?

I need some help and advice…I want to stop eating out so much and would like some recipes or some ideas on some meals I can make at home…not only healthier for me, but to help me lose weight. I know that boneless/skinless chicken is best, and of course fish, but how are some ways you can cook these and some seasoning to make them better? I’m not the most talented at cooking so I need some advice. Thanks

weight loss cardiff answers:

Good for you working to get healthy! You’ll also find that you save money in the longrun and develop a better appreciation for food in general.

Boneless/skinless chicken and fish are both excellent choices, but sometimes a lean piece of pork has even less fat than the chicken, and you don’t have to cut all red meat out of your diet unless your cholesterol is way off the charts. Variety is important to a healthy diet, too.

In general, if you can bake, poach, saute, or steam something, then it’s going to be better for you than frying. But sometimes a bit of frying is fine. Just don’t do the deep-fat thing and stick with oils like olive, sunflower, and various nut oils rather than large amounts of butter, shortening or lard. These help you get enough healthy fats to help keep you heart healthy and balance your cholesterol so you have more HDL (healthy) and less LDL (unhealthy) in your system.

With most fruits and vegetables, the less you cook them, the healthier they are. This is great news for unskilled cooks, because it means a raw salad is actually better for you than a cooked vegetable you’re not sure you know how to cook.

For flavor, turn to herbs, spices, flavored vinegars, citrus juices, cooking with wine. All of these add flavor without adding much in the way of fat, cholesterol, calories, or sodium. Oh, and the fresher the herbs the better. If you have a green thumb you can grow the ones you like to use a lot right in your kitchen in little pots.

Keep in mind that if something smells good, it usually tastes good. If it smells bad, it usually tastes bad. The sense of smell and the sense of taste are very closely related. So when choosing fruits, sniff them. If that peach doesn’t smell like a peach, it won’t taste like one, either. When you’re about to add a seasoning to a pot, smell the seasoning, then smell the pot – or vice versa; it can go in either order – and decide if they smell good together. If they do, fire away! If not, put the seasoning down.

Here are a couple websites with good, tasty, healthy recipes for you. Many of them are very easy to make as well.

Http://allrecipes.com/Recipes/Main.aspx

http://www.cookinglight.com/cooking/

That second one is the website for Cooking Light magazine. If you’re looking to learn to cook, eat and live in a healthier way, I highly recommend getting a subscription. They have regular articles on easy cooking, the latest news on nutrition, simple exercise programs you can follow at home, and how to lighten up old favorite recipes so they’re just as tasty but don’t weigh you down.

Good luck to you! Once you learn your way around a kitchen, it’s amazing how much fun it can be to plan and cook healthy meals.
