Even though it sounds like a paradox; If you really value food, you'll stay or become lean, because you won't be happy with mass produced food froma a chain or micorwave, lousy cafeteria food, or similar fare. You belive in freshly cooked food with high quality ingrediets: Enjoy your food quietly at the dinner table, rather than standing or gobbling it in front of the TV. You won't waste calories on food that isn't really delicious.
Everything ends up in your stomach, but when you want to lose weight you need to stop before you feel like you're going to explode. If you eat slowly and concentrate, you'll be aware of feeling full and won't stuff yourself. If yhere are still delicious tidbits on you plate, you need a lot of discipline to put your fork down. As a rule, eat what you like the most from your meal first.

Let's go to grill: forget the fast food burgers
It's as gourmet as burgers can get it: big patties made of ostrich meat, Australian lamb , Kobe or Wagyu beef sandwiched between juicy tomato slices and crisp lettuce leaves, add-ons such as blue cheese and shiitake mushroom sauce, and topped with heart-shaped sesame seed buns, a novelty carried over from a popular Valentine's day promo. The perfect pit stop for when you want to ravish something meaty while staying classy at the same time Murray and D'cine serves elaborately cooked and prepared burgers with wine and cocktail drinks, turning the fast food staple into a culinary treat. As its tagline declares the place is about "burgers, sliders, and damn good wine!"
From the proportions alone, the basic beef burger is elevated with Murray and D'vine's chunky serving of ground lean meat frilled perfectly to retain its juices and rich flavor. My Son-in-law's burger, in particular, is a zesty variation: flavored with jalapeño pepper, this burger's spicy kick makes its presence known first through a smoky undertone in the meat before exploding with in subsequent bites. It's definitely one of the must-try items on the menu.
Vegetarians can also find something to eat here. Murray and D'vine's Veggie Burger doesn't come with faux-meat patties; it's all vegetable, all the time, with the patty made from corn, carrots, assorted mushrooms, potatoes, tofu, and bread crumbs.
White mean is also treated right. The chicken patties, although thick, remain moist and tangy despite the tendency of the chicken meat to dry out easily.
To enjoy the burst of the flavors from all the available add-ons, just ask fit the Cajun burger, or better yet supersize it to a Big Ass 1lb Burger - it's an unbeatable way to slake hunger. For those with smaller appetites but would also like their burgers diversified, Murray and D'vine's offers sampler platter of the sliders in three. Diners can mix and match different types of burger combinations and enjoy the included serving of crispy fries. Flavorful potato wedges are also available as sidings.
A hearty burger deserved an equally hearty follow up. Redefine "happy hour" with a big glass of refreshing Mojito, Sangria, or Frozen Margarita. The drinks have there own bite, all right, but they also go unbelievably well with the burgers. Those who prefer to forego alcohol should try Murray and D'vine's old-fashioned milkshake made with full cream milk and ice cream, a sweet concoction that is so thick and smooth you'll feel just a little bit guilty for indulging yourself. Sure, burgers and milkshakes sound like a sinful combination but enjoying food this rich once in a while would do your wellbeing good.

Is there such a thing as healthy pizza?

Sauce: You can get lots of tomatoes, spices and a ready-to-use consistency with the pasta sauce. Spread the sauce thinly over the crust.
Veggies: In a pinch, you can use frozen vegetables because cutting takes time.
Fish: A tuna from the can in its own juice.
Cheese: Only mozzarella is quick and delicious. Distribute the cheese evenly. An egg slicer makes cutting easier.
Herbs: After baking (at highest level until the edge is crispy), sprinkle with basil (fresh or frozen) or dried oregano and chili flakes.
