Are you eating healthy? A balanced diet is critical to reclaiming a healthy lifestyle. But within the framework of a sound diet, there are some foods that are better than others -- the Nutritional Top Ten. What's more, the mere mention of such foods as oatmeal, broccoli or soy, does not necessarily have to elicit an automatic "turn off" response. Today, many of these wholesome, healthy foods are being marketed in forms that taste great and are easy to prepare.

     

High Protein French Toast

INGREDIENTS

• 1 piece of Ezekiel Bread (buy at Nature`s Fare)
• 1/2 cup egg whites
• dash of cinnamon
• E.D. Smith sugar-free syrup
• Yoplait Source - Lemon Meringue Parfait
• Fresh berries

PREPARATION

To make french toast, mix egg whites and cinnamon together. Dunk 1 piece of bread in the egg whites until saturated, then put in medium hot pan and cook until golden brown. I dump the rest of the egg white mixture on top to ensure I get all that protein!
Top with fresh blueberries or strawberries, a big dollop of lemon Source yogurt, and a little sugar-free maple syrup!

From a psychological perspective, a new healthy diet may be difficult to achieve for a person with poor eating habits. This may be due to tastes acquired in early adolescence and preferences for fatty foods. It may be easier for such a person to transition to a healthy diet if treats such as chocolate are allowed; sweets may act as mood stabilizers, which could help reinforce correct nutrient intake.
