The Healthy Way to eat out. The do's and do not's for your next ethnic meal.
Look for : stir-fry or steamed dishes with heaps of plants, steamed rice ( brown if at all possible over white ), poached fish, and hot and sour soups.
Look for : steamed shellfish, roasted poultry, salad with dressing on the side, and sauces with a wine or tomato base.
Look for : plaki ( fish cooked with tomatoes, onions and garlic ) and kebabs ( sauteed on a spit with veg ).
Dodge : dishes with big amounts of butter or oil and baklava.
Look for : fish, shrimp, and chicken with salsa made from tomato, chilies and onion. Order corn or flour tortillas so long as they don't seem to be deep fat fried.
Dodge : dishes with large quantities of cheese, sour cream, guacamole and refried beans cooked in lard.
Don't skip a meal on the day you're going out to eat.
Fruit calories are extremely healthy in comparison to calories in fast foods or processed food.
Fruits need 20-25 mins to digest and give us energy and veggies take 4 hours to become nutrients for energy while beef takes upto 72 hours to fully break down and pass out from the body.
Unlike meat eating animals,your guts are too long for beef to pass out fast leading to putrification of beef and accumulation of poisons in the body.
Further,fruits have anti oxidant properties and they look after free radicals and reverse ageing.
Now think about this, having 2500 calories from fruit is good or being on a diet plan consisting of one thousand calories from beef and processed foods is good for health and maintaining ideal weight? An apple, an orange, or a cut of low fat cheese ) an hour or so before the meal therefore avoiding overeating.
Ask about substitutions of lower fat, lower carbohydrate food as small plates. I have spent lots of the last 30 years doing research and spending valuable time with patients, attempting to better understand the heart.
