Can you eat barbecue on a diet?

Are you losing weight, but you can’t deny yourself a barbecue with your friends? Nothing prevents you from connecting one to the other. It is enough to remember a few rules and the right choice of dishes to be able to enjoy a meal in the fresh air and not to miss the diet.

• Remember about health and safety – clean the equipment thoroughly before you start grilling. Additionally, remember to grill your food on suitable aluminum trays. Old pollution, rancid fat can cause gastric discomfort and are harmful to health. Likewise, the substances generated during the burning of fat that drips onto red-hot coals (e.g. polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) are not without harm to health. Volatile substances from kindling, plywood, newspapers and plywood are equally harmful.
• Choose high-quality products – often ‘grill sausages’ contain little meat, but a lot of fat, water and additives. Better stock up on chicken fillet or lean beef, pork, prepare poultry minced cutlets instead of choosing cheap products dedicated to the grill. 
• Give up fatty and caloric articles – pork neck, black pudding, sausage are not suitable products during the diet. Chicken fillet, lean fish or vegetables, but fruit are the best choices. What are the advantages of these products? You can read about it in Barbecue Season.
