How to Cook Up a Healthy Christmas Dinner

5 ideas to create a healthy Christmas dinner

Tip 1 - Rather than grilling, bake the meat inside a wire rack. Doing this allows extra fat in the meat to empty off.

Tip 2 - Bake open-top mince pies. This lets you use less pastry that instantly cuts down on the calorie and fat content by half the total amount. You can pick the healthier filo pastry that is lower in calories when compared with traditional pastry. Another brilliant trick would be to mix finely chopped fresh apples towards the mincemeat. Doing so lowers the mince pies' calorie content.

Tip 3 - Replace salted peanuts with raw nuts for example walnuts, almonds, cashews, brazil nuts, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds rich in protein, essential fats and minerals

Tip 4 - Dump sugar based confectioneries for healthier selection of dried fruits for example apples, apricots, banana, raisins and currant. These dried fruits keep going longer and are deliciously sweet too

Tip 5 - Do the 'food swap'. For example, you can make the next swaps:

Salted crisps for tortilla chipsBreaded chicken bite for any marinated chicken biteMini pastry tartlet for any mini filo tartletMini bhaji for any mini satay stickPre-mixed Buck's fizz for for any wine spritzer

The fundamentals to preserving your weight loss would be to swap any high fat/high calorie foods for healthier (and equally tasty) alternatives. The procedure might be gruelling, but it's definately well worth the effort at the conclusion of day.

Don't be amazed that nobody would even realise that you could offer them a healthier version of the favourite delicacies but keep your Christmas fun, exciting and more importantly delicious.

Give these pointers a try making your Christmas weight reduction regime relaxed.
