Nutrition - How to lose weight Tip # 18

Everyone loves potatoes, whether they are in the form of french fries, scalloped potatoes, mashed potatoes, or baked potatoes. We all know that potatoes are a very high source of carbohydrates. So in order to minimize some of this carbohydrate, here is a trick we can all follow when making mashed potatoes. Mix in some boiled and mashed cauliflower in with your mashed potatoes, and you will never even see or feel a difference. This will also add nutrients to your mash potatoes and reduce the amount of carbohydrate you eat. Its a great way to sneak in some vegetable servings into your family's meals. They will never even know :) Please share any of your ideas for making meals more nutrient dense.

Nutrition - How to lose weight Tip # 17

Eggs are a essential part of a balanced nutritious diet. They are a great source of protein, vitamin A, and many other nutrients. The egg yolk contains all the fat and cholesterol. So in order to minimize the the amount of fat and cholesterol while eating eggs prepare your omelets or scrambled eggs with 1 whole egg and 1-2 egg whites. If you don't want to waste the egg yolk you can buy the egg whites separately and add them to one whole egg. This way you will minimize the fat and cholesterol, and still be able to enjoy your eggs just they way you like them. You wont even taste the difference but your body will show the difference over time.
