When attempting to follow a strict dietary guideline, many adults feel they are sacrificing flavor and variety.    By choosing a variety of diverse, ethnic dishes, flavor and variety are not sacrificed. When visiting Dallas, Texas, consider these ethnic dining options to ensure healthy eating choices are not sacrificed for flavor.

Chinese:
Choose from steamed dishes such as steamed rice, without MSG added.  For additional reference to health, choose poached dishes, referred to as Jum, roasted dishes, referred to as Kow, and barbecued dishes, referred to as Shu.  In Dallas, for your optimal Chinese dining, visit Cafe China.  Located at 3333 W. Camp Wisdom Road, Suite #118, Dallas, Texas 75237.  Most meals are prepared as you request and are priced around $10 per entrée.  Café China accepts to-go orders and is known for its relaxed environment.   Excellent for a healthy meal which may include roasted duck!

Italian:
To maintain weight loss, choose from a variety of red sauce options while avoiding cream based sauces.  Items listed as primavera and piccata generally refer to a lack of cream and an added lemon flavoring.  As always, items listed as grilled or lightly sautéed are the optimal choice.   For premier, healthy Italian dining, in Dallas, visit Alessio's il Ristorante.  Located at 4810 Bryan Street, Dallas, Texas 75204.   Slightly more on the pricier side, Allesio's provides an opening appetizer of bread and olive oil.   Upon being seated, to maintain healthy choices, alert your waiter of your option to forego the bread and oil.  Review the menu and choose from lightly sautéed dishes with red primavera sauces.  While dining, enjoy relaxing Frank Sinatra tunes and a slightly relaxed environment. Service is noted to be best during the weekdays.

I lost weight by finding the right nutritionist. Kim from liveyomie.com really looks at the behavior behind food and nutrition not just the food itself. I could not believe that she offered a menu. So, we figured out the plan and for 1 month she provided all the meals. I was dedicated to making a change- she did all the hardwork. She was there on the phone when I was struggling and more. I felt and saw a difference in myself. Now that I know how good I can feel when I do what my body needs - I do it. It wasn't about fasting, or drinking funky shakes. It was a plan to change my life. So, if you want to make a permament change and have the dedication -getting the right help makes a difference.
