This is the weight loss blog post you’ve been waiting for all your life. Why? Because it’s not going to tell you to eat less or get more exercise.
It’s about finding new ways to make it easier to build healthier eating habits that, in turn, will help you sustain a healthier body weight.
You know that just about the only way to take total control over what you eat – and therefore your weight – is to prepare your own meals. Today, we list some of the ways you can equip your kitchen to help you do just that:
1. A Variety Ramekins
Ramekins are small porcelain dishes and bowls used to prepare and serve foods.
How Ramekins Help You Lose Weight: When you measure your portions in a ramekin and/or prepare smaller sizes of menu items for different meals, you reduce the chance of you overeating. This is especially helpful when treating yourself to something that isn’t actually on your list of healthy foods!
2. An Oil Mister
Mmmmm, vegetables in oil, eggs in oil, fish fillets in oil. They all sound delicious, but using too much oil in your cooking, even healthier oil with unsaturated fats, can make it tougher to manage your weight. An oil mister lets you apply oil to pots, pans and food in very small amounts that are still enough for cooking, but not enough for weight gain. Mmmmm.
3. Glass Storage Bowls
Even if you really enjoy cooking, the routine of making dinner can turn it into a chore. One way to make it less so is to prepare many meals at once and store them until you’re ready to enjoy them. While plastic containers are very popular, they have drawbacks. Some of them can’t go from the freezer to the microwave and you have to open each one to see what’s inside.
Not only are glass bowls durable from freezing to boiling, their transparency lets you quickly know what’s inside and they resist the stains and odours that can affect the taste of food you store in plastic.
4. A Blender with Single-Serve Cups
From fruit and vegetable smoothies to veggie dips like hummus, blenders are a quick way to create healthy and tasty snacks and treats. The problem is, when you whip up a whole batch, you are tempted to eat it all – or at least more than you should in one go. Find a blender with single serving cups so you can make smaller portions and avoid the temptation.
