FoodFit.com Helps You find the Nutrition Powerhouses to Help You Stick to New Year's Diet Resolutions WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- If you are like most Americans, your resolve to stick to your New Year's resolutions to eat healthy and lose weight are wavering-fast. Now that the government has revised its Dietary Guidelines, how do they apply to you? Translating nutrition information into do's and don't's for everyday life can be tough. That's where Fit Food, a simple guide to eating well for life offered at FoodFit.com, comes in. Author Ellen Haas, founder and CEO of FoodFit.com, an award-winning healthy eating website, was previously Under Secretary of Agriculture, where she oversaw the Dietary Guidelines as well as the School Lunch program, Food Stamps, and the other food and nutrition programs. Now she has used her nutrition and food expertise, and FoodFit.com's experience, to present 21 "fit foods," the nutrition "powerhouses" you need to get healthy and stay healthy. Fit Food tells you why these foods are "stars." Even better, Fit Food features 200 mouth-watering recipes from 33 nationally recognized chefs, just to make sure your food tastes great. "It's exciting to choose beautiful, healthy foods in the market if you know what to do with them when you get home," says Haas. "That's why we have picked the easiest recipes to showcase the healthiest foods. Consumers need to know that cooking healthy can be simple and fun, and Fit Food shows you how." For example, let's say you want to fill your dinner plate with the healthiest foods imaginable. You might start with salmon, for omega-3 fatty acids that promote heart health. Pair the fish with a serving of whole grain rice for a dose of the "good" complex carbohydrates that provide protein and fiber. Add one or two vegetables, including a dark green one like broccoli to get a wide range of healthy nutrients in exchange for few calories. For dessert -- mixed berries -- heavy on the "blues" for antioxidants that fight cancer and heart disease, perhaps with a topping of low-fat yogurt for calcium to build and maintain healthy bones and teeth.
