Grilling is a good. For the majority of vegetables, steaming or stir-frying (with a tiny bit of oil) is the best way to go. Some vegetables like collards and kale need to be cooked for a long time to break down the cell membrane, thus releasing more nutrients.

You could also try poaching.

Poaching is like boiling but lower heat and a small amount of liquid. You can poach meats too. I always poach salmon, then throw some spinach on top to wilt and stir a little mustard into the broth for a sauce. You can also poach or boil chicken, then you'll have stock for soup or whatever.

I thought grilling was bad because its such a high heat,a nd i remember an article about it causing carcinogenic freeradicals or something.

yeah. They say browning and grill marks we love are badness.

Moist, non-browning/charring methods are the best healthwise.

I use extra virgin olive oil raw (for dressing salads and raw or cooked veggies) and virgin coconut oil when I cook. Coconut oil has been shown to rev up a slow metabolism. It is rich in lauric acid, an antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and antiprotozoal agent, which can aid in the elimination of viruses, bacteria and other nasty stuff. The medium chain fatty acids in coconut oil have antifungal properties and has been shown to kill candida and other fungi in the intestinal tract, further supporting a healthy intestinal environment. More and more people are swearing by it as a major helper in getting acne under control.

Grill your meat so the fat drains away and steam your vegies or eat them raw (salads). This is why I love summer BBQed meat and fresh salads

[Glennart]

so the fat drains away

Noooooooo!....

This is why I prefer pan frying, then you get all that delicous savory fat to pour over your meat. mmm...

[Bob1978]

Dip them in yogurt or flour batter and deep fry them all. Separate the cabbage, and use them as decoration around the sauce.

[FakY]

ok wait wait , i have an idea what you mean by steaming ( like filling the basin with water put in a container wit h holes in it and throw the veggies in the containr , close the lid and let it cook right?) and yea grilling meat is the best

[FakY]

Frying and grilling are not healthy option.
Both starches and meat/fish form cancerogenic substances when they're fried or grilled.

That's why I don't brown my meats!

Note that browned or even burned meat does not give me acne even if it's grilled over open fire. But I still think it's healthier to avoid eating such substances every day.

You should add some healthy fats to your diet. Eat chicken with skin. Butter or Ghee. Red meat etc. That will put the weight back and give you energy.

Like omega-3s, they help in the formation of prostaglandins, hormones that keep all the cells of the body functioning well. arn't omegas suppose to be less imflammatory?


i've noticed virgin oils good too

If you eat red meat/fish, how do you cook them Danny?

[samariah]

If i cook some mashed beans in a pan with coconut oil is that considered frying? I suppose so? I like mashing beans, cooking them in coconut oil and then adding things like curry powder, cumin, so good.
