OH MY!
You can make this Australia Day (26 January)
your healthiest one yet, simply by heeding
these healthy nutrition tips.
BBQ food is often oily, indulgent, and not particularly good for
our ‘beach body’ this summer. And with one Australian being
diagnosed with diabetes every five minutes, keeping the weight
off is no longer just a cosmetic issue!
Top swaps for Australia Day food:
• Eat grilled sweet potato ‘chips’ instead of potato salad with
mayonnaise dressing.
• Eat a herb and garlic kangaroo kebab instead of a satay
chicken kebab.
• Eat a tuna steak instead of sirloin steak.
• Eat lean meat with wholegrain mustard instead of meat
that’s marinated in honey and soy.
• Eat a turkey mince patty hamburger instead of beef mince
patty hamburger.
Top tips for your Australia Day BBQ:
• Use pepper, herbs, spices, garlic and lemon juice to add
flavour to your foods rather than salt and oils.
• Remember to prick sausage
