Diet is a big trend-maker, to say the least. Diet is very popular these days with the increased number of people that are looking for ways to improve their health and wellness.

At any rate, almost everyone has a diet they stick to from time to time, and some more often than others. With the increased popularity of diets, it can be hard to know whether or not you are following your diet.

There are many diets out there and they range from the highly structured and complex like the Paleo Diet to the more straightforward like The Atkins Diet. There are also variety in terms of what you can eat and what you cannot eat.

This article will talk about some basic diets that are low in carbohydrates and high in fat.

Chicken, rice, and veggies

Chicken is a low-carbohydrate vegetable! You do not have to eat it every night, but you can make quick and easy chicken rice every weekend. It is also a good source of iron, zinc, and B vitamins.

Chicken rice is a nice way to mix up the vegetables you are eating. Most chicken rice recipes use brown or white meat, but not all green vegetables.

White meat tends to be better for keto than dark meat, which may be better for people with dark blood sugar levels. Even so, both are excellent sources of protein such as type 1 & 2 carbohydrates and fat.

Steak, potatoes, and onions

Steak is a classic healthy dinner. There are so many ways to make steak. You can grill it, roast it, bake it, or maybe even broil it. You can also use kabobs or grilled onions and potatoes.

Grilled steak is not the easiest food to work into your meal routine, but it is a really good choice. Grilling the steak allows for more time to make your potato dish and let the steak get done completely.

Baked potatoes are one of my favorite potato dishes ever. You can either buy pre-made ones or create your own. Either way, you get yourself a pretty cheap yet healthy dinner!

As for the browning of the meat with the hot pan, that is what makes baked potatoes slightly different from regular potatoes.

Broccoli and rice

A surprising and quick vegetable-based diet recipe is broccoli and rice. It’s a healthy party food!

Cheese and crackers are also good for people with busy lifestyles, as they can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator or freezer. They are easy to bring with you to the meal or parties you host!

Just remember to always cook the rice and broccoli thoroughly before using them.

This healthful dinner idea is perfect if you are running out of vegetables or need some extra nutrients for your meal. You can also make this dish in one flat pan, eliminating messy cleanup tasks.

With just a few ingredients, you can create this healthified broccoli and rice recipe: mix together two cups of cooked brown basmati rice, one cup of chopped broccoli, and one cup of cooked white shredded chicken.

Cheesy potatoes and ham

Potatoes are one of the best foods you can eat. They contain lots of vitamin B and Vitamin A, so it is no surprise that they are one of the easiest foods to make. Potatoes also don’t require a lot of complicated preparation, which is always nice!

So, when it comes to preparing potatoes, there are two major ways to do so. You can bake them, or you can fry them. The best way to bake potatoes is in a pancake style batter and then cooked through and crispy.

The other way to cook potatoes is to poach them.

Breaded chicken and pasta

There are so many ways to cook pasta, so why not make your dinner as easy as a chicken and pasta dish? Using pesto as a sauce will make this recipe much easier.

Potatoes can be substituted for the rice or cauliflower can be used in the broccoli soup.

Parselytte can be used if one does not want to use a standard butter garlic sauce.

Both breaded chicken and broccoli florets can be used in this recipe. Just make sure to soak the broccoli florets enough so they do not crisp up while cooking.

This healthy dinner is perfect if you are in a hurry because it takes only about thirty minutes to make. Start cooking when the rice and chicken is ready to take out of the oven.

Chef’s salad

A doctor-approved diet recipe that everyone loves is chef’s salad. It is a staple in nearly every restaurant and cookbook. Plus, there are so many ways to make it!

It can be made in the dinner hour, made the night before and refrigerated until needed. It can be made in the morning and cooked until warm and ready to serve. It can be made for lunch or prepped and refrigerated for two days before cooking.

The best way to make chef’s salad is in advance of cooking so that the flavors have time to mix. If you are making this for dinner or breakfast, start working on this about an hour before you want to start eating because dinner requires some waiting time.

What makes this recipe different is that it has some side items included. These include vegetables such as vegetables you would bake or roasted first so that when combined with the salad ingredients, they give some texture and flavor to the whole dish.

Turkey sandwich

A turkey sandwich is a delicious, low-carbohydrate and fat-free meal that is easy to make. All you need is a jar of mayonnaise and a container of canned chicken or italian meatballs.

Just pick one type of meatball or the other kind of mayonnaise to match. You can make your own if desired, but most commercial varieties are good quality.

Either mayonnaise will work in this recipe, so if you have special dietary needs such as gluten free or dairy free, use that. If not, use regular mayo because this will not affect the texture of the sandwich very much.

The important part of this meal is to combine the ingredients properly to create a good batter for your meatball and to cook it long enough for it to be soft and flavorful.

Pasta with sauce and cheese roll

Pasta is a pretty popular food. There are almost always some types of pasta in the supermarket or restaurant supply houses nowadays.

So, how do you make the pasta?

You take a small amount of flour, breadcrumbs, and milk and mix it together to create the dough. Then, you roll it out and put your toppings on. That is right- if you wanted to put sauce on your dish, then that is what you did!

This recipe makes two types of pasta: sauce-based and cheese-and- sauce-based.
