Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
"Poultry is for cookery what canvas is for painting, and the cap of Fortunatus for the charlatans. It is served to us boiled, roast, hot or cold, whole or in portions, with or without sauce, and always with equal success." Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)
