Jill's Tips this Barbecue Season

Hello!

With barbecue season upon us, why not grill yourself to great
health this summer?! Here are some tips:

1. Try portobello mushroom burgers in place of hamburgers.
They are tasty, meaty and have 1/10th the calories!

2. Don't fear corn on the cob. Yes, it's a carbohydrate, but
it's a good one, and if you count it as a grain instead of a
veggie, it starts looking very nutritious! You don't need
butter...fresh corn is very flavorful!

3. Avoid eating charred food. It's tasty, but contributes to
colon cancer.

4. Try alternative red meats that are very lean and high in
iron, like ostrich, emu and buffalo. Ostrich is especially
awesome--it tastes like beef and has less fat than chicken breast!

5. Grill extra chicken, veggies, fish, turkey, etc. so you can
eat it as leftovers on salads throughout the coming week.

6. If you need to use oil, spray it on. Drizzling and brushing
give you more than you need.

7. Find fun non-caloric drinks! Remember that when you drink
your calories they don't register with your appetite or raise
your metabolism for digestion. Alcoholic drinks will lower
your metabolism and increase your appetite.

My dear dad likes to say that a steak is finished when his glass
of Jack Daniels is empty...I hope YOU will say your grilled
veggies and ostrich are done when your sparkling water is empty!

Happy Summertime!
