For many people, the main reason that they don't want to start using healthy recipes is that they are afraid that they will have to cut out their old favourites, but when you know how to make a few simple changes, you'll find that your old favourites can become new healthy choices. One way that many people make simple changes is to take a good look at other healthy recipes to find out what makes a meal healthy. You can do this, too, but here are a few basics that you'll find in almost every healthy meal.

- For meals that contain meat, the meats are all lean. Think of ground turkey instead of ground beef or very lean ground beef. Consider lean, boneless, skinless chicken breasts and fish such as salmon.- When it comes to using oils, there are lots of healthy ones you can use a little bit of and get big benefits. Extra virgin olive oil contains lots of omega 3 fatty acids and many people choose to use other healthy oils that you can experiment with for flavour and texture.- Get away from white carbohydrates. This is one major factor that will make a change from not healthy to healthy. Whole grains contain fibre and this is essential for a healthy digestive tract and strong immunity, plus, complex carbohydrates break down in the body much more slowly, which allows the body to use more of that fuel and leave you feeling fuller for longer, so make sure that everything from your breads to your pastas and even the rice you eat is whole wheat or whole grain.- More veggies. A good rule of thumb when it comes to healthy recipes is the amount of vegetables that each meal contains. When you have lots of veggies, you're giving your body more nutrients that they need, while cutting the calories in your favourite dishes, so add some bulk by adding veggies and watch your favourite meal take on a whole new feel.- Another factor to consider when using healthy recipes is the kind of dairy products you use in your foods. For instance, use fat free milk, and reduced fat cheeses and cut down on the amount of dairy products you consume. Yes, they are a wonderful source of calcium, but you might find that cutting down can offer you the benefits without the expanding waistline.

These are just a few of the factors of healthy recipes, but when you become familiar with them, you'll be able to ensure that all of your meals - even your old favourites - can be healthy and savoury.
