How To Cook On The 6 Week Body Makeover Program

By James Kim

The majority of the foods in the 6 Week Body Makeover meal plan are foods that you already eat in your ordinary diet. However, there are ways to reduce the fat in the foods that you already eat in order to make the food a fat burning agent. Here are some ways to tweak your food so that you can get the most out of the Michael Thurmond diet.

The important factor in reducing calorie intake while cooking is learning how to cook without oil and fat. Most people use large amounts of oil to make food not stick the frying pan when cooking meats and vegetables. Cooking oil is a waste of calories and should be avoided when on the meal plan.

The first thing you need to do is buy a good nonstick frying pan. If you have one, great! A nonstick frying pan will make the food slip off the pan. There will be no need to add additional oils. Also, you won't notice a different in taste between food with oil and without oil. Oil does not add any flavor in your food, it just makes you fat.

When frying eggs or egg whites, make sure to preheat the pan before you put the eggs in, it makes the eggs not stick to the pan. Use water instead of oil to saute vegetables. Make sure to add more water as the water starts to dissipate. The water acts as a nonstick agent and you won't have to add fat calories to your vegetables.

Use a vegetable stock or no sodium chicken broth when cooking chicken or fish. Also you can use white wine as a good nonstick agent for meats. Don't worry about the calories in the alcohol, they will burn away when cooking your meat. - 17274
