Nutritional Tips for Dual Dieting, by Susan Thacker
Author Susan Thacker was our guest columnist yesterday, telling us about her Defining Moment, when she decided to get serious about her health. Today, she returns to give us ideas on how we can lose weight through “dual dieting” with a friend.
“Dual-dieting” is a concept in my book, Supper Swapping, and is when two friends join together to achieve a common nutritional goal and trade meals. Before starting, the two cooking partners should define their goals and select recipes together. When dual-dieting, the two friends will combine efforts to make more of the healthful foods they love so they can avoid the diet pitfall of feeling deprived.
- Eat nutritiously dense foods: low-fat proteins, vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains.
2. Eat smaller meals and healthy snacks between the meals for leveling blood sugar. For example, combine a small amount of low-fat protein with a green vegetable.
3. Keep your favorite healthy foods readily available.
4. Substitute whole grain products for white bread, refined pasta, and white rice.
5. Use olive oil or canola oil and avoid hydrogenated and saturated fats.
6. Minimize saturated fats by using extra lean meats,
and trimming off fat.
7. Indulge in a dessert occasionally, but eat it with nutritionally dense foods.
8. Love your healthy food!
