I love cooking. Without listing off the stuff I like(d) to cook in fear of making people's mouths runny, I think it is safe to say that I did not think alot about where, when or how much fat, meat etc. I used so long as it tasted good!
It is easy to follow recipes, but I like to experiment, understand and come up with my own foods on-the-fly. Having started a diet now (details below) I started to wonder about more fundamental cooking questions which I need answered as my diet can not go on with the few foods I have been told are good weight-loss foods.
- Should I perhaps not use butter to fry stuff anymore? And if I should not; What to replace it with?
- What should I replace pasta, potatos and rice with?
- Are potatos good or bad? I read conflicting views online.
- Are herbs and spices generally safe?
- Is it best to eat no bread at all anymore or is whole-grain or whole-wheat just as good as eating veggies? Or perhaps even necessary?
- What meats are good? Where I live we only have pork, beef and chicken available in terms of raw meat, I saw some articles online where people said turkey is where the hype is at. What fish?
- What about stuff like baloney?
- What to look out for when considering dairy products like cheese, milk and yoghurts?
- Are there any fruits and vegetables I should avoid?
- What other weight-loss breakfasts are there besides oatmeal-variations and eggs? (Accepting recipes on this one!)
Now I am trying to loose a bit of weight (about 10-20kg /22-44 lbs from a starting weight of 84kg /185 lbs with a body height of 1.86m /5.9 ft, male) and have settled for a 16:8 intermittend fasting plan with exercise three times a week for ~40mins each and any possibility in my everday life inbetween. To reach my goal and realistically maintain it, would I really have to drastically change my eating habbits (i.e. say goodbye to all white bread, white sugar, sweets except on cheat days)? Would I have to change what I eat at all while intermittent fasting? How do I incorporate this in my cooking?
Thank you for reading and have a great 2021!
