Burgers are cheap and accessible, they are available in every street corner. The main issue is their high fat and sugar content and how they increased in size with time. traditionally a burger was composed of a bread bun, a piece of meat and some veggies along with mayo sauce.

Today we have a lot of burger variations with double or triple meat portion, bacon and a lot of fatty dressings.

So it is better to cut fat by keeping your burger traditional and chose it small with little toppings and a lot of veggies, and also ask for whole wheat bun if available.

Pasta Love

Carbohydrates were long considered the biggest enemy of dieting however they are the most essential macronutrient in our diet about 50 % of total calorie intake.

If pasta is your favorite carb you would better have it with tomato salsa instead of creamy sauce, it is lower in fat and rich in antioxidants.

Eating in French café is so tempting as the menu is full of tasty meals. Croque monsieur is KC ‘s favorite dish, although high in fat, it is fine to eat it for lunch and skip desert and any other fat and carbohydrate source. You should avoid black or white thinking, satisfying one of your cravings does not mean stuffing yourself the whole day.

Learn to listen to your body’s needs and ignore guilt feelings that will induce overeating and low self-esteem.

Soups

Soups are the most convenient meal in winter days, especially when they are prepared with a blend of powerful vitamins and minerals such as spinach, broccoli, peas, cauliflower and many other veggies.

Make sure you do not add heavy cream but instead soya milk or skimmed milk for heart healthy soups.
