what other healthy things can you make besides chicken when dieting????

Question

its seems like its the only thing i can think of every meal has chicken in it and is healthy and im trying to lose weight! HELP!

Answer 1

Unless it's organic or biodynamic, chicken is not a good choice for dieting. It contains too much in the way of chemicals that increase growth.

Fish is one of the best alternatives when dieting, and in fact, taking fish oil capsules daily can help you lose weight. You need to take about 6-10,000mg of fish oil daily to get this result.

A secret to good weight loss is to have a good breakfast, a reasonable lunch and a small evening meal. In the evening have soup and a rice cake. or a salad. (It's winter here, so the soup springs to mind, but if you are in the US then salad is probably more appealing)

Some meal suggestions:
Tuna salad - lettuce, rocket, grated carrot, celery, avocado and a small tin of tuna. Dress with Balsamic vinegar, or lemon juice plus olive oil.

Baked fish with banana:
Mash a banana and use it to cover a sweet, white fish (I use Barramundi - but works well with any sweet white fish). Cover with alfoil and bake for about 30 minutes in a moderate oven. Serve with a salad, or with lightly steamed vegetables.

Not all meals need meat - steam or stir fry some vegetables with your favourite herbs and spices, add some cashews and serve with brown rice and a bit of grated cheese.

Make a wrap with mountain bread, spread with avocado, lettuce, grated carrot, grated beetroot and chopped walnuts. Add a little lemon or lime juice if desired.

A fruit juice with spirulina added is a good meal replacement when you are in a hurry. Just make sure the juce has some banana in it to help offset the taste of the spirulina.

I hope this helps you get started, and wish you all the best

Answer 2

Well firstly if you want to lose weight you should focus on the way you cook it. Fried is definitely out of the question, so you should try with grilled, boiled or steamed.

Fish is a good alternative, especially steamed, Its healthy and you dont need to use oil at all. You can try out steamed eggs too. I find that delicious also. Or if you prefer vegeterian style you can try tofu, soya tofu or egg tofu are both good healthy foods. And remember to eat veges too. They are high in fibres and helps prevent constipation so you can flush out all those toxic and undigested stuff out from your body.

Boiled Eggs and Grilled Meat are also nice, but remember to lower your sodium intake, like salt and sugar. Sodium increases water retention so a large part of your weight is affected by the amount of water retained inside your body.

Good luck

Answer 3

Salmon is great, especially if it's fried in a little olive oil. Most fish is good.

Try using beef and pork as seasonings -- like stir-fried broccoli with just a tiny bit of pork to give it a little flavor.

Steamed broccoli and shrimp with oyster sauce is really yummy, too.

Try some vegetarian stuff, too, just to mix it up. Vegetables are really low in calories. I love the Moosewood Cookbook, but I'm not sure how good their stuff is for dieters! Use your judgement.
