DISCOVERY HEALTH CHANNEL
AIRS NATIONAL BODY CHALLENGE ON JANUARY 15TH AND 16TH
FEATURING CHEF LALA
Chef LaLa teaches local Latino family how to eat healthy
SAN CLEMENTE, CA (January 10, 2006) –
The Discovery Health Channel will air NATIONAL BODY CHALLENGE
on January 15th and 16th from 8-10 p.m. (ET/PT). The special takes
an in-depth look at obesity in America by following the physical and
emotional journey of four Los Angeles families as they work together
to achieve healthier lifestyles.
On day two of the show, Chef LaLa, certified nutritionist and author
of Latin Lover Lite,
assists a California Latino family to cook healthier food with the
same taste they are accustomed to.
“As with many Latino families, this family fried most of their food
to have the ethnic taste,” says Chef LaLa. “My goal was to teach
them that cooking healthier doesn't need to sacrifice the taste they
are familiar with.”
Chef LaLa works with the entire family to save them calories – and
ultimately, pounds – by substituting cooking sprays for lard,
low-fat beef and cheese for full-fat versions, and turkey bacon for
regular bacon.
“There are ways to add flavor and to add culture to food without
adding all the fat and calories,” explains LaLa. “Eating should be a
decadent experience, not one that you dread because choices are
limited. A healthier lifestyle is about better ingredients,
healthier cooking techniques and smaller portions.”

classic French techniques at Le Cordon Bleu and studied Latin
