So, what are the best methods of cooking for your weight loss..

Baking Baking is easily the best method you can use if you are cooking for weight loss. Cooking the food as it is or with a simple marinate and you will have both a satisfying and healthy meal. Anything from poultry,fish and vegatables can be baked, and is the perfect method if you are watching your weight.

Boiling Boiling is the best way to cook your vegatebles, though there is some nutritional loss when they are boiled directly in water. Vegetables such as potatoes, that can be boiled in there skins will help retain their nutriants better.

Broiling broiling is a great way of cooking meat and fish, and is nearly as good as baking for helping with your diet, providing you do not add any wine,oil or butter when you are cooking. If you are making a simple sauce, just add a fruit juice and water.

Microwaving Using your microwave to prepare your food is quick and easy method of cooking. You can boil your veg in water, or now you can buy a microwave steamer that will sit your veg above a container of water. This method is more preferable as not so many nutriants are lost through steaming.
