If nuts are good for you, then pecan pie must be REALLY good for you RIGHT???????????
A handful of pecans contain about 1000 kilojoules and a slice of pecan pie can have more than double that.
Similarly, sweet potatoes are a beautiful nutritious healthy food when boiled but when covered in lashings of butter, they are anything but healthy!
What I am saying is that just because a food is supposedly good for you in its natural form, it doesnt mean it stays that way if it is fried, battered or covered in fatty creams and butter.
Fish loses many of its amazing health benefits when battered and fried and spinach loses its health benefits when creamed.
A beautiful low calorie healthy clean salad becomes a high calorie salad when covered in loads of oil or creamy dressings.
Lets go back to basics! Keep it simple and uncomplicated.
