Tips For Keeping Sushi Healthy
I love sushi just as much as the next girl. In fact, I could eat it everyday if I could afford it. The problem with sushi is that it has such a healthy stigma attached to it but there are many rolls and dishes that are super high in calories and saturated fat.
Learn to Love: Miso
Starting off a sushi dinner with a steamy bowl of miso soup is a ritual I can't seem to break. The soft tofu and seaweed flavored with yummy miso makes for a comforting starter, and I'm benefiting my health to boot. While the soup is a standard on Japanese menus, there are plenty more uses for miso and a list of reasons to pick some up at the store.
Healthy Habit: Get Fishy When Dining Out
Eating dinner out does not have to be a diet debacle. Nutritionist Alexa Fishback, author of The Daily Fix, believes dining out is an opportunity to eat fish without making your own kitchen smell fishy. Sounds reasonable right?
Weight Loss Tips for Vegetarians
Contrary to popular belief, just being a vegetarian does not mean you're automatically going to be skinny -- Far from it actually. In fact, some vegetarians smother their food with cheese, which happens to be a big ticket item when it comes to calories.
To give those vegetarians an edge on weight loss, CalorieLab.com has come up with a few great tips on eating without the meat and the extra pounds:
- Embrace tofu.
Learn to Love: Edamame
Looking for a tasty snack that's full of protein and fiber but low in carbs and calories? I'm talking about edamame, baby soybeans still in the pod. Beans might not seem like the most delicious snack in the world, but once you try them, you'll fall for their fresh and slightly sweet flavor; plus they're a fun to eat finger-food.
Staying Fit While on A Cruise
Unless it's a fitness cruise, most cruises are notorious for being horrible for your health. This could be due to the ever present buffets or the laziness that being on a giant ship evokes.
Regardless of your reasons for gaining a few extra pounds while cruising, if you're planning a cruise this year, be sure to use these tips on staying fit on a cruise:
- Eat 5-6 meals: Get out of your 3-meal rut.
Rice Breakdown
It's too bad that rice has gotten a bad reputation with this whole carb-free diet frenzy. As we all know, not only do we need carbs for energy, but carbs in the form of whole grains are a great source of fiber (which can help prevent certain types of cancer), and they keep you feeling full longer. Rice is one of my favorite whole grains since it's easy to cook, can be flavored millions of ways, and is easy to digest.
Rice: Which Kind Should You Eat
For a while, I was only eating brown rice, thinking it was the most nutritious, but is it? What about all the other kinds like jasmine, basmati, white rice, sushi rice, sweet rice (also called moshi or sticky rice), and arborio (for risotto). Depending on your dietary needs, you may want to choose one over the others.
What Foods Do You Eat To Keep Things Hot?
According to this week's Life & Style, when dining out, hot hollywood couple Nick Lachey & Vanessa Minnillo select dishes that are healthy and light, such as assorted sushi. Why skip the steak and desserts? Because the lighter menu choices are perfect for setting the mood for a steamy evening.
