Sari
Greaves, RN, CDN, Nutrition Director at Step Ahead Weight Loss
Center, joined Dr. Oz on the 5/17/12
episode, Weird or Worried, to provide flavor recommendations that
can help save hundreds of calories every day.
Ms. Greaves said she wants people to
have a stash of reduced-sodium chicken stock in the pantry at all
times. Chicken stock provides sensational taste that's skinny on the
waist. When cooking swap out the oil for a small amount of chicken
stock, the key is to gradually add the stock to the pan and only use
the amount needed to keep the food moist while cooking. Swapping oil
and butter for chicken stock can save about 100 calories.
Spray Oil
Dr. Oz has mentioned using spray oil to
help reduce over-all calories. Instead of pouring oil into a pan to
cook, spray in a small amount to save a heaping quantity of calories.
Water
Using
water to cook food in a pan instead oil is another great way to
reduce calories. Oil does bring a certain amount of flavor to foods
when cooking so when water is used you may want to add a little more
spice. Spices are a wonderful way to increase flavor without
increasing calories. I've tried this cooking method before and found
that it did take some getting used to, flavor-wise. Watch the pan
carefully when using water so you can add more when needed to prevent
burning of the food.
Lard
Lard is pure animal fat. If your focus
is cutting calories then lard may not be the best option for cooking
food.

The challenging little bit of sudden pop quiz consisting only of just one question is fun and effective in keeping the people tentative to the discussions and shows. It's just like having gone back to those days of high school. Or did I just open a bit of disturbance there?
