Nof, a young (28 years old) educated, newly married manages a Diet Center in Riyadh…clear enough to know how much she is picky at healthy food…and applies this at home…”My husband agrees with this healthy life since he is athletic too”, she mentioned.
Food lover family in a healthy way… “Where is the problem in that? We can eat all kinds of healthy food and sweets with passion and on calorie scale without depriving ourselves.”
Diet and healthy magazines from all around the world were noticed in her sitting room and majority of products and brands used were low fat. Three meals / day is a must (for both her husband and her) and healthy snacks in between.
Low fat butter is highly used…Lurpak was mentioned…used in frying eggs and other issues that need to be fried…also used in sweets / cakes / cookies once per week as she noted.
Though Nof comes from a traditional culture where her mother mainly uses margarine in all meals, but her domain pulled her out to follow healthy food…and for Lurpak butter she mentioned, “Lurpak has known history in lightness and taste”.
Margarine and greasy stuff is totally forbidden at home or in the diet center.
A list of “fresh” provision is set on weekly basis where she personally enjoys buying them from Safeway Hypermarket, clarifying that a variety of exported healthy low fat food is always available at Safeway. Keeping in mind, reading ingredients on each and every product / brand is a necessity when buying.
Cooking traditional food is the least of her worries. It is not the cooking of healthy food that gives her pleasure, but the fact of staying healthy and fit is the name of her game…and for this reason, she supports her cooking knowledge by reading international healthy cooking magazines and attending related seminars.
Breakfast always consists of a piece of toast with low fat butter (Lurpak – unsalted) and low fat cheese or low fat flavored yoghurt. Cost has never been her worry especially when it comes to healthy food. Trying new healthy menus from different cultures is also of her interest.
“My pleasure is to guide people (in the center) on the right healthy track…even Lurpak butter is always on the meal list; it is the quantity in-take and not deprivation,” she declared.
We realized that Nof never follows promotions when buying food products. “All I care about is the validity date and ingredients”, she stated.
It was early evening when we managed to visit her…even her hospitality was healthy…low fat croissants and low fat cookies made by Lurpak (unsalted) butter, fresh juice the herbal tea.
The dinner menu was typical healthy (protein, soup and salad)…and she mentioned that also Lurpak was within…
