Why are weight loss tips for cooking important?

Because you're in charge of the calories. Learning to cook with lower calories is one of your greatest advantages for managing your weight.

Here are some easy do's and don'ts.

Do's

• Do use measuring spoons and cups. Measure ingredients accurately before cooking, and measure portions before serving.

• Do try to eat a rainbow every day by increasing low calorie fruits and low calorie vegetables.

• Do increase the amounts of fruits and vegetables in every recipe you can. For example, add an extra cup of chopped celery to your soups. Add an extra cup of shredded squash to pasta primavera.

• Do learn to cook low calorie soups and prepare salads with low calorie dressings.

• Do learn to cook with spices and herbs for more taste satisfaction.

• Do plant a year round herb garden outside.

• Keep a kitchen herb garden inside next to your kitchen window.

• Do consider nonstick cookware including silicone bakeware.

• Do make a pot of green tea to drink while preparing meals to help reduce snacking.

Don'ts

• Don't use a new recipe that is high calorie, loaded with unnecessary fats or sugars.

• Don't use favorite recipes until you can do a low calorie recipe makeover. Check out these Cooking Light cookbooks for more ideas.

• Don't fry with oils or fats. Try George Foreman Grills instead.

• Don't deep fry anything.

• Don't forget that green tea has only 0-2 calories per cup. It's an easy and healthy very low calorie choice.
