Cook at home and lose weight

13 Sep

If you’re looking for a safe and easy way to loose weight, the answer might already be in your kitchen.Cook your own food and carry it to work! As you know, butter, salt and sauce make food more delicious. Nobody wants to lose customer while cooking healthy food. Frankly speaking, you get more calories when you eat the same foods at restaurant. Cooking your meals at home can really help you control what goes into the food you eat and keep your weight under control, and your cholesterol levels healthy. Plus, with rising prices and a recession in progress, eating at home save you money to boot!

Always keep in mind

1. You control the portion size at home rather than having a chef tell you how much food you need (you don’t have to be tempted with more on the plate staring at you saying “eat me!”)
2.
You control the quality of ingredients at home.
3.
You wash your hands and counters before cooking – lesser chance of you getting food poisoning. ( I know it’s gross)
4.
You can season and cook food exactly the way you like rather than how the restaurant chef dictates
5.
You can establish (or carry on) a family tradition of home-cooked food. Create a special Sunday brunch, Monday morning breakfast, Friday night dinner, or holiday meal that your family and friends look forward to sharing with you.
