Making Healthy Food Fun...

A lot of people have trouble changing their diet because they feel that it takes the "fun" out of food. Well, eating healthfully does not have to mean being bored. You can make food fun and interesting and still keep things healthy. Here are 5 ways to liven up diet without throwing it away:

1. Try new spices. Spices like cinnamon, curry, and different chili peppers will bring new layers of flavor to your healthy dishes.
2. Learn how to cook new things. Take a course or get some new cookbooks and experiment with new flavors and styles of cooking.
3. Eat with friends and family. Keep the focus on enjoying eachothers company.
4. Revamp fun foods. Bake your Fries, use non-fat ice cream and skim milk in your shake, and change that beef burger into a lean meat turkey burger.
5. Vary your diet. Make sure you always have lots of different colors and textures on your plate. Crunchy carrots, mashed cauliflower, and a savory piece of salmon over a bed of delicate greens will wow your tastebuds and your senses.

Put some thought into what you eat and you will see how enjoyable eating right really is. Afterall, eating right will make you not only feel good but look good as well, and that is fun!
Live Well!!!
