Healthy Recipes

healthy-diet-recipesThe basis of an effective diet program is great tasting, healthy recipes. If the diet’s food is too bland, boring, or monotonous then the likelihood of long term success is greatly diminished.

When choosing a diet program it’s important to take into consideration what type of foods can be eaten on the plan as well as what kind of recipes are provided.

If a dieter can find a diet plan that fits in with his/her tastes as well as one that provides many great tasting meal options then the chances of that diet plan becoming a lifestyle greatly increases.

Below are some great tasting healthy recipes from some of the popular diet programs or ways of eating available today.

    There is a new potato chip on the market that has less fat that baked potato chips. They are called Pop Chips. They’re not fried or baked but when heat is added the chips pop then they’re cooked. Just thought I’d mention it.

    Please pass the word around that Dr. Bernstein does not help patients that really need help! He refuses to let me attend his clinics. Is anyone else in the same situation. I would really like to know.

    Mike, Try taking Lovaza (potent fish oil, omega 3) You can get a prescription from your Dr. Also, try to cut back on your carbs. My husband had the same issue and these two changes have him on track!

    would really love it if you could provide a list of high protein things to eat for breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner…you get the picture. Quantity would be great too. Then, from there I can incorporate meals. It’s a lot to incorporate meals when you’re just getting started on this. you wanna be able to grab or fix things really quick…with things you already have on hand at the house. thanks!

    Mike, change your doctor, seriously
    And also you need nutritionist, eat “pretty well” and have high triglycerides is basically impossible.
    Find functional medicine specialist in your area, it’s probably the best you can do for your precious self.

    I have been battling high triglyceride levels for 25 years. I’m now 50, 5′-9 1/2″, 182lbs. I could do more exercise, but eat pretty well. My recent checkup has shown a trigyl lvl of 362, glucose fast of 186, platelets of 122, 3 nodules in my thyroid w/ normal levels. MD’s want me to take Actos 15mg, Crestor 10mg,Onglizer 5mg, and Trilipix ?mg. Reading about Leptin is making me furious with my MD’s. What do I do???

    I tried this lifestyle change for two weeks with the menu found in woman’s world last year and I did loose weight as well as my abdomen did shrink. I have had hormonal imbalance since I had my first period so i am going to try this again as I have gained weight and I would guess I am undereating. Thanks

      I’m not sure what you want us to do…there are many free programs out there like spark people. If you have trouble limiting food portions and choosing healthy foods then you might have to invest in some structured program such as a diet food delivery service.
