TIPS TO PREPARE HEALTHY FOOD: CHANGE YOUR HABITS ONE STEP AT A TIME.

We're not just trying to boost your morale (important as that is) when we suggest you change your cooking - and eating - habits one step at a time. The idea is to make a transition, not an abrupt break - especially if you're afraid you can't make any changes at all! Prepare fewer high-fat, high-cholesterol, high-salt foods at the same time that you increase your intake of vegetables, fruit, whole grains, and legumes.
Cook brown rice instead of white rice, and make the chili you love with lots of peppers, mushrooms, onions, and maybe even ground flank steak. Perhaps you could change the proportions in your chicken, turkey, or tuna salad so that vegetables - and some new ones like yellow, red, and green pepper, cucumber, and radishes - predominate. Use a yogurt-herb dressing instead of mayonnaise; use lemon instead of salt. Zip up your potatoes with a spicy tomato sauce. There are so many healthful substitutions you can start to make - simple "swaps" that will make your food appetizing, delicious, and much better for you!
Try fresh fruit spreads instead of butter or margarine on whole-grain bread, and cook whole-wheat pasta instead of the refined white pasta you're probably used to. Make your own soda by pouring a little fruit juice into seltzer (or sodium-free club soda). Start using healthier versions of foods you may have thought were okay all along. Little by little, you'll find your kitchen will appear to transform itself as you replace unhealthy foods with nutritious ones.
