I love food and have always enjoyed eating food from all kinds of cuisines!Becoming a professional dietitian has helped me enjoy delicious foods while maintaining good health and weight because it has taught me how to cook recipes in lighter healthier ways. Therefore, I can eat all kinds of dishes without feeling guilty about it!This is what i try to practice at home also for my family. I always cook and try new light recipes as my time allows. However, when eating out, i will not hide that we eat whatever we please :) And this is completely fine as long as a healthy overall balance of food intake is maintained.This is the nutritional knowledge that I love to provide and teach to all of you on Shahiya.com because it brings me great satisfaction to see people become healthier and lose weight while enjoying their life and eating what they desire.I will also try my best to provide you with diet recipes that are varied enough to help you enjoy all kinds of food without any compromise on your weight and health!For more information on my professional track, please check my personal page: http://www.shahiya.com/english/profile.aspx Favorite things to cook: Italian food like pastas and pizzas, more recipes of which are to come on shahiya.com so stay posted ;)
