Men's health ran an article giving 15 recipies for weight loss. Now this isn't about diet food. Far from it in my opinion. These are delicious meals compared with what you would order if you were eating out. The difference is in the calories if you cook it your self or if you eat out.
One example is Olive Garden Fettuccine Alfredo. Calorie intake 1,220, 75 g of fat and a whopping 1,350 mg of sodium. Cook it your self and you have a mere 540 calories, 14 g of fat and only 520 mg of sodium.
I can easily say that I will prepare 14 of the 15 recipes given. I even ordered the book "Cook this, Not that" they were advertising. Of course I went to Amazon to order the book. I'm sure Men's Health is charging you $30 for a $10 book. Granted I don't know what they are charging as I wasn't going to fill in all the information they wanted to order it BEFORE giving a price. (no props for that)
I think I'll make the chicken parmesan this weekend. I'll let you know how it turns out.
