I’m not going to start another conference on healthy diet, what to eat and what not to eat, blah blah blah. On the web, you can find enough articles about that. Staying healthy and fit does not imply the idea that you should only eat vegetables and fruits. I know how hard it is not to respond to enticing calls for pizzas, burgers, or other spicy and cheesy foods. And for what? Because you want to keep your waist trimmed, forever. And this can never happen if you keep your taste buds happy. Therefore, eliminate animal protein from your diet. Seriously? So you think?

Losing pounds does not include eating less, but eating foods or dishes with fewer calories. If you are following a diet plan that cuts out everything you like to eat, it may not sound good. Remember my words, you cannot follow that eating plan for a long time. Here are some low calorie chicken recipes to help you stay on track of a healthy diet, as well as pamper your taste buds.
