As part of my WISE experience, I am incorporating all aspects of becoming healthier and slimmer into my daily routine. Although my finished project for the class will be a hearty cookbook with a variety of healthy alternatives, I am also going to teach myself the importance of healthy living. Thus, each day after school I will spend my afternoons exercising for about an hour. I will do both cardio and core work to ensure a full body workout. This will help to increase weight loss as well as strengthen my body and immune system, making me a healthier and stronger person. When dieting, it is beneficial to not only eat healthy, but be as active as you possibly can.
Today, after my invigorating workout, I began more research for the recipes I am going to compile. When cooking foods, especially desserts, it is easy to add unwanted calories without even noticing it. For this reason, I found out one crucial piece of information: THERE ARE SUBSTITUTES FOR OIL. By using oil in recipes, it adds many calories and grams of fat that can be avoided. In my recipes, I will use applesauce and fat free sour cream as oil substitutes. Other tips I came across to add flavor to the healthy dishes are to use low-fat cheese, garlic, and lots of herbs and spices. Hopefully, this will do the trick in keeping the taste of the foods, but making it healthy!
My goal for the rest of this weekend is to find out what exactly are the most popular fattening dishes people enjoy. Once I discover these "guilty pleasures" I will begin to finalize my list of recipes that I am going to try out next week.
Next week I will start my cooking. Although I am just beginning, I can tell these recipes are going to have a lot of people grinning!
RANDOM FACT: Drinking water throughout the day will fool your body into thinking you are full; therefore, you won't eat as much because you won't be as hungry!
