8ight Simple Rules

... on how to replace harmful ingredients with healthy nutrients

... and convert any recipe into a nutritionally valid recipe

1. Replace butter with extra virgin Olive Oil*, cream with light yogurt and cheese with light mozzarella.
2. Replace full fat dairy products with their own skimmed alternatives
3. Replace red meats (lamb, pork, beef, bacon, sausage, processed mince meats etc.)  with white meats (lean chicken and turkey) or fish (salmon, trout, etc.) and mince your own lean meats at home
4. Replace white pasta, breads, rice and flours with wholemeal  pasta, breads, rice and flours
5. Replace sugar with fructose and/or honey
6. Replace frying and deep frying with oven or grill cooking
7. Replace soft drinks with 100% fruit juices, skimmed milk, tea, green tea
8. Replace vodka, tequila and beer, with red wines (preferably French DOC red wines)

 
I never blindly follow any recipes. Discarding saturated or fried fats, sugars and white flours is what my 8ight simple rules are trying to do. Food should be a relaxing and nourishing moment to recharge the body of important nutrients.

*PS: Other creamy-tasty-healthy vegetable oils are Avocado, Peanut, Walnut, Sesame seed oils. Please stay away from Palm and Coconut oils as these are the only two exceptions of harmful vegetable oils.
