Fresh shrimp is both healthy and delicious. It is also a perfect meal solution for all your outdoor summer parties and events. Fresh shrimp can be used in just about any dish. Add it to a pasta salad, slaw or appetizer plate. Topped with lemon juice and cocktail sauce, this refreshing food makes a great pre-dinner snack.

Smoked Maine shrimp is from the state of Maine, and everyone knows Maine is where the best seafood is found. It can be prepared with sauces, barbequed or just served cooked and cold. You can do a search for an exceptional shrimp recipe, or make one up yourself!

1. Bring on full fat
You may have spent last year drinking only skim milk, avoiding cheese and eating diet yoghurts, but aren’t you still the same size? “Don’t be afraid to eat some full-fat foods,” says Sutherland. “Often fat-free foods contain artificial sweetener or lots of sugar to replace the fat.” The fat in foods helps make you feel satisfied, so you don’t overeat. It’s better to have one scoop of full-fat ice cream and feel satisfied than eat a huge bowl of low-fat ice-cream.

Dr. Barnard also discusses how industry, aided by government, exploits these natural cravings, pushing us to eat more and more unhealthy foods.
