Should you be eating these foods?

Beyond Diet Newsletter

I always do my best to keep up with my workouts and choose the healthiest food available when traveling. I definitely still have a great time and enjoy myself and do not deprive myself of any special treats that may come my way.

My last trip to Cancun I really enjoyed the delicious fish that is available. Salmon, Grouper, Tilapia, Flounder...you name it. You can get it prepared for you in a variety of different ways.

Not only is fish delicious but many varieties of fish are also high in heart healthy and fat burning Omega 3's. The best fish to eat are those that are LOW in Mercury and HIGH in Omega 3's. Types of fish like salmon, sardines, flounder, sole, and halibut are all great choices (not to mention super tasty).

On the other hand, there are some varieties of fish that are HIGH in Mercury that you should keep to a minimum or only eat once in a while. Fish like shark, swordfish and king mackerel are much higher on the mercury scale so should only be chosen once or twice per month.

You've heard me talk about all the wonderful benefits of Omega 3's over and over again and in an effort to help you get in plenty of this wonderful, healthy fat, I've got a delicious new Omega 3 rich recipe for you today.

Flounder has half the amount of Omega 3's as salmon, but it is important to have variety in your diet, so here's a delicious and super easy flounder recipe that is, of course, DSP approved:

Baked Paprika Flounder

Ingredients:
• 4 to 5 flounder fillets
• 2 TBSP melted butter
• Sea salt and pepper
• Italian herbs
• Paprika

Directions:
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Coat baking sheet with 1 TBSP butter. Place filets on baking sheet and spread remaining butter on each one.
• Sprinkle coarse salt, ground pepper, Italian herbs and paprika to taste. It's good with a lot of paprika.
• Bake at 400 degrees for ten minutes or until white and flaky.

Super easy and full of flavor!
