The Number One Secret to Healthy Eating

Whether you want to lose weight or get healthy, there’s one thing you should never, ever eat again: “remorse cuisine.” That’s what our friend Mollie Katzen, the acclaimed healthful-eating proponent and cookbook author, calls the tasteless stuff people think they have to eat to dine their way healthy (boiled broccoli, anyone?).
There’s no reason to ever again eat anything that’s not tasty. The fact is, there is no line between “good for you” and “tastes great,” especially when you know the secret that Mollie calls “the flip.” Simply take what used to be pushed to the side of your plate and bring it front and center. Here’s how it works:
Take your old pasta plate: Noodles with sauce on top and a little broccoli on the side.
Flip it: Create a 50/50 mixture of broccoli and whole grain pasta -- and be as generous as you'd like with tomato sauce -- and you’ll also get more texture and a more visual plate (in other words, it’s more fun to eat and it’s nicer to look at). That gives you more satisfaction and plenty more nutrients for fewer calories.
Take your old protein course: Hunk of meat on a plate with a side salad and some potatoes.
Flip it: Slice 3 ounces of steak over a sumptuous bed of romaine lettuce, add some grape tomatoes and just half of a modest potato, thinly sliced. (Better: Replace the meat with a healthier protein, like grilled salmon, and replace the white potato with half of a sweet potato.)
You can also turn vegetable-“fried” rice (we recommend steaming) into rice-“fried” vegetables (more vegetables than rice). Or up the vegetable and flavor ante in any meal by using mushrooms (sauteed in a little olive oil) as seasoning. See? Tasty. Healthy. Easy. The biggest flip: Do this and you’ll turn aging around, too.
Enjoy your day
