Eating Whole Grains
To lose Weight
It won’t be easy. But you and your entire family can benefit and lose weight by eating whole grains.
You might have to be sneaky to include eating whole grains into your family's diet. It will require a well-thought out healthy food plan.
After a bruising day at the office and a hair-raising commute on the freeway, you are standing in the kitchen about to prepare a healthy, satisfying dinner for your spouse, your two school-age children and yourself. As usual, all they want to know is "What's for dinner?" and "When do we eat?" It’s time to get crafty and try to figure out how to work in a healthy food plan. Below are some great tips not only for us moms but for anyone cooking in the kitchen.
Health Food Snacks:
- Snack on ready-to-eat, whole grain cereals such as toasted oat cereal.
- Add whole-grain flour or oatmeal when making cookies or other baked treats.
- Try a whole-grain snack chip, such as baked tortilla chips.
- Popcorn, a whole grain, can be one of a health food snack with little or no added salt and butter.
High fiber foods
When you have a snack and we do need to snack often. why don't you try fruit, rice cakes or wafers with smart balance and/or sugar free jelly? You can crunch on some high fiber foods like cauliflower or carrots coated with peanut butter. One of my favorites is a peanut butter and banana sandwich on whole wheat bread, yummy.... - Set a good example for children by eating whole grains with meals or as snacks.
- Let children select and help prepare a whole grain side dish.
- Teach older children to read the ingredient list on cereals or snack food packages and choose those with whole grains at the top of the list.
