Healthy Cooking Tips for a Low Glycemic DietReady to have some fun with a couple of healthy cooking tips?? Easy healthy cooking and how to prepare low glycemic meals go hand in hand. Through out this site we’ve addressed eating and food. We tell you when to eat, how much to eat and in what proportions to eat it. Well, it’s time to share just how easy healthy cooking can be. - Low Glycemic Cooking Tips Easy Diet Recipes - Cooking TipsCommon sense applies here to all healthy cooking tips and low glycemic diet recipes. Use the same rules in cooking your food that apply in all meal preparation.Be mindful of your protein to carbohydrate to fats ratios. Keep your cooking as fresh, raw and natural as possible. We’re NOT asking you to eat all of your vegetables raw. With all low glycemic recipes steam your vegetables lightly, leave them crisp, with a crunch. It’s better for you and the crunch has a great feeling in your mouth. Over cooking your vegetables will reduce them to a fiberless mush with little or not nutritional value. The first time you cook a recipe follow the instructions exactly. After that be creative, put your imaginative self into your food. Add a little, take a little away or switch ingredients, but stay within the rules. Make easy healthy cooking fun!

We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again – even easy diet recipes need to be planned.Don’t wait until you’re hungry. You know you’re going to have to eat every couple of hours so know what’s on the menu for your next meal. Do use high smoke point oils like olive (greenish in color) , coconut, palm or almond oil. Don’t use canola oil (it goes rancid very easily). Do get used to your plate WITHOUT potato, rice, pasta. Don’t put bread and butter on the table. Don’t use flour or corn starch in gravies. Do use natural seasonings to enhance the flavor. Don’t use mono-sodium glutamate – ever! Do read labels on all processed products. Do keep it fresh, raw and natural as much as possible.
