me

Ok, I need to start somehow…Of course it's all about diet, or mostly about healthy and calorie less food. I like to share own created recipes, giving ideas for low calorie and mostly vegetarian foods. I am going to post my daily dishes, describing how I made them, how may calories they are and something about the budget.
That blog is a non-official site for everybody who try to change to a healthier, but not distressed lifestyle.
A bit more about me: I am pretty picky on food, I don't really like meat, but I like sweets and like drinking nice beer, ale or wine. I really like all vegetables and always tried to make sure, that my food is as healthy as possible. And I know, my huge enemy are carbohydrates - such an ordinary woman…:)
So compare to all of that I keep an eye on my daily calories and exercises. I am using an application for counting calories (1200\day) and my own rules are: eating fruits till midday - nothing else, not eating any bread, pasta, pizza, etc (all good stuff:)) and avoiding sugar.
So if you still interested, follow my recipes and don't be shy to share yours, or comment on my notes.

Have a pint...

So, yes, there we are. What should we do if we like to go out, and we know, that we will drink some alcohol. Which is not dangerous on its own, but...!Who has never wanted to eat a bowl of chips, or a big burger after a pint or two. I used to do the same: drinking, munching something and on my way home took a big burger, or some nice Indian or Turkish dish...and on the top, you could eat more than normally, won't you?! So that's the most problematic point of the whole diet, calorie counting and healthier life. Non of the diets forbid you to enjoy a glass of dry wine...but without the benefits. Let's see what are my tricks:
  • eating olives, 5 contain 12 calories
  • low fat popcorn 
  • picking raspberries or blueberries
  • keep some calorie less crackers with you, you can munching from it, if you feeling very hungry
  • ask for sweet potato chips instead of 'normal' - never tried, but much less calories :)
  • eat any fish, except battered ones: scallop, squid or prawns quite popular as starters
  • have some carrot, dipped into fat free yoghurt - instead nachos, crisps...
And after all, you need to behave yourself...:)

Finally, what drinks I am recommending:
  • Guiness - 155 calories
  • Strongbow cider - 169 calories
  • large glass rose/white dry wine - 180 calories
  • medium (Shiraz) wine - 120 calories
If you fancy for something else, try to avoid soft-drink mixes and sweetened liqueurs

Cheers!
