Answer 4

Don't believe Actress, Banquet frozen meals are NOT healthy for you.
One of my fave halthy recipes to make is stuffed zucchini. Wash, and halve zuccini, then microwave them till just tender. Scoop out the guts, set aside. Mix up bread crumbs, chopped tomatoe, fresh minced garlic, pasmesean and a little salt and pepper. You could add cooked ground turkey also if you'd like. Stuff the filling in the zuccini boats and bake at 350 for about 10-13 minutes. They are delish.

Paleo diet its a diet based around eating real food unprocessed and organic. Learn here https://tr.im/m6mPH

Whether you have or not, what you probably don't realize is that it’s the fastest growing “diet” in the world right now. From celebrities, chefs, elite athletes. Even fitness experts is eager to try it or adopt it.

And for good reason, because no other diet or eating plan provides so many benefits so fast.

Answer 7

It depends on what you like, the best healthy options include veggies, fruits, albacore, ground turkey and chicken (to make into patties).

Whole grain spaghetti with pasta sauce or make your own with fresh herbs.

Always check ingredients on everything and steer clear of red meat.

For breakfast have smoothies with loads of your fave fruits, yogurt and honey.

Egg whites, 100% Whole Wheat Toast with honey and cinnamon sprinkled on top. Whole grain cereals with soy milk.

Watch processed, packaged foods, they usually contain a lot of trans fats and sodium, so even when they state something is "healthy", does not always make it so.

Answer 8

cook any vegetables you like in a little oil and water, make sure you add mushrooms and beans, add a lot of herbs like basil, oregano, parsley etc and a little salt. tastes wonderul and is definitely healthy.
