(Food-Beverage-News.Com, June 10, 2012 ) Plano, Texas – In a season known as much for hot burger grills as the sun, Diet Plans That Get Results via its website urged its readers to pay attention to produce as they adhere to their diet plans to lose weight .
“What some people tend to forget is that the earth’s bounty is profuse and fresh during summer,” K. Chatman from Diet Plans That Get Results said. “But I guess several people think ‘tis the season for hotdogs and burgers.”
Mr. Chatman’s website suggested grilled fruits and vegetables instead of less healthier alternatives. “Grilled vegetables make for a healthier alternative to food full of mayonnaise and sour cream such as potato and macaroni salads. Grilled fruit also is a great complement for salad or a stand alone for dessert,” said K.A. Chatman.
Produce need not even be hot. Fruits can be made into frozen bars or coolers with perhaps more vitamins and minerals than ice cream and ordinary popsicles.
As for fruit smoothies, Chatman provided the idea of adding a fistful of greens like kale and spinach. Sugar-free, cold green tea may serve as a substitute for beer and other saccharine drinks.
For some however, summer is not complete without grilled burgers. Thus, Mr. Chatman suggested some delectable compromises.
“You do not have to make do with the fatty, high-calorie variants. Opt for burgers made of grilled Portobello mushroom or veggie patties. If you must insist on beef, choose leaner cuts. Otherwise, get lamb, buffalo, or turkey,” K. Chatman advised.
He also recommended adding vegetables such as tomato, lettuce, cucumber, and spinach to these burgers.
“Go easy on the condiments. Select low- to non-fat mayo. Ketchup and mustard are okay as well,” he said.
“Nonetheless, for the summer season, spice up your foods with healthy produce and low- or no carbohydrate-filled beverages,” Chatman concluded.
