Tip #1 Changing Your Cooking Habits

If you really need to add a little bit of oil, use Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It’s the healthier choice, lower in cholesterol and better for you heart.
When cooking your food, keep in mind that baking the food is even better. Broiling the steaks and chicken is better still. Also, boiling some of the food or steaming the vegetables is great! This also tastes better and provides more nutrients that are still intact.
