Healthy Cooking Demo
If been making a cooking demo video as part of my Uni degree. This isn’t the finished product as it need some music but really wanted to share it with you
It is as you would hope smart pointed.
The recipe serves 4 People and is 44 points. So only 11 each.
I hope you enjoy it.
A colourful Diet Helps Lose Weight
Fish and Chips, Mac and Cheese, Toasties and Crisps taste good but are the enemy of people trying to lose weight.
This is an example of what I mean.
The Jacobs Cheese and Onion Crinklys are for a bag of 50g 8 smart points. The colourful apple is 0 smart points.
Food that is packed with colour is more interesting, and more tasty than beige rubbish.
The above photo shows a mountain of beige, uninteresting food that is stacked with smart points. It may give a pleasure hit for the first 5 mins.
The lingering feeling I find with most of these is a claggy mouth, feeling sickly and board.
This by contrast looks vibrant and fresh. This is the kind of food that explodes with flavour, leaving your mouth dancing.
There have been studies that say different coloured foods have health benefits.
The picture below gives a brief overview.
Personally I think that a combination of everything is the best bet, it keeps things interesting.
Whats better Value
One, if not the biggest weight watchers obsession is smart points. It leaves us with a constant question…is that … really worth …amount of points? and if the answer is yes, what will i have to go without to keep within my allowance.
Some times we all need a treat, but sometimes those little sweet chocolate hits can really give us a headache.
I love Mars Celebrations, those little wrappers of happiness. They are also 2 smart points each!!
I’v done a little comparison:
These five little bundles of joy equal 10 points.
One of these plates contains 9 points.
It hardly seems possible but on that plate there is mashed carrot 0 points, Broccoli 0 points, Onion, Mushrooms, Yellow Pepper and Courgette all 0 points. The diced beef was 7 points an Oxo cube 1 point and tbsp of flour 1 point.
In the question of are 5 Celebrations at a cost of 10 points worth it…probably not
