Step 1
Cook recipes with fruit. Most fruit is OK to eat on the Best Life Diet. That means you can choose recipes that use fruit as long as you go light on the sugar and high fat ingredients. Or, add fruit to your favorite recipe that is Best Life approved.

Step 2
Substitute low fat or non-fat dairy products in recipes. When you are looking for recipes and you find one you like with dairy products, don't despair. Simply substitute the low fat or fat free versions to make the recipe diet friendly. Substitute low-fat or fat-free milk for whole milk as well as low-fat or fat-free sour cream for regular sour cream and the like.

Step 3
Add a few tablespoons of nuts to recipes for a little crunch. When you are looking for a recipe that is diet friendly you may find a lot of recipes that don't sound that appetizing to you. A great way to spruce up any recipe is to add a few tablespoons of nuts. You will add flavor and crunch, as well as protein, so feel free to eat some nuts. Recipes that call for nuts are OK, too. Just reduce the amount called for.

Step 4
Choose recipes to grill. Most any food that is grilled is acceptable on the Best Life Diet. This could be grilled corn or vegetables, as well as lean meats and fish. Grilling is healthy, tasty and perfect for any type of food.

Step 5
Look for recipes with whole grain ingredients. When you are browsing recipes, always look for those with whole grain ingredients. You can always substitute, but recipes made specifically with whole grain ingredients usually turn out better.
