Meeting with your dietitian regularly can help you create healthier habits that still celebrate your individual heritage. They might even encourage you to expand your palate and try new foods and flavors from around the world. Below are some of our registered dietitian\u2019s favorite go-to's.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>Italian Cuisine<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy favorite cuisine is Italian. I love most Italian foods, especially pizza and pasta - probably because of my Italian grandmother. I love recreating healthier versions of family recipes. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.njbariatriccenter.com\/healthy-or-not-pasta-alternatives\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chickpea pasta<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a great high protein swap for traditional pasta and my family and I also really enjoy <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.njbariatriccenter.com\/healthy-or-not-cauliflower-pizza-crusts\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cauliflower crust pizza<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\"<\/span><b> Karen Kelly, RD\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\"Italian food is my favorite cuisine. I love all dishes, but I would say my favorite is chicken parmesan with a side of Caesar salad. I love making healthier versions of this dish at home. I like to bake my chicken cutlets instead of frying them in oil and using <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.njbariatriccenter.com\/njbc-eats-karens-low-carb-chicken-cutlets\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">almond flour<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as a lower carb option. For the salad, I like to use kale as a base and a yogurt-based Caesar dressing so it\u2019s higher in protein.\" <\/span><b>Alana Weisman, RD<\/b><\/p>\n<h4><b>Japanese Cuisine<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\"I love Japanese food, sushi in particular. My tips for ordering healthy sushi are to choose <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.njbariatriccenter.com\/tips-for-ordering-healthier-takeout\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cnaruto\u201d style rolls<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These are wrapped in thinly sliced cucumber instead of rice. To keep the carbs low, I also recommend avoiding any tempura options and sticking to rolls like California, spicy tuna and sashimi options.\" <\/span><b>Dana Babeu, RD\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<h4><b>Mediterranean Cuisine<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\"I really enjoy Mediterranean cuisine, seafood in particular. I love wild caught salmon because it's a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.\" <\/span><b>Kelly Beneduce, RD\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<h4><b>Thai Cuisine<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of my top favorites is Thai cuisine. I\u2019ve traveled to Thailand multiple times during my mixed martial arts (MMA) career, and I\u2019ve experienced authentic Thai cuisine at it\u2019s finest. I love all the fresh and local produce that's used. One of my favorite dishes is Chicken Satay, not only does it taste good, it\u2019s high in protein also. Another high protein meal option I enjoy is Thai Basil Chicken (Pad Krapow) with a side of steamed veggies.\"<\/span><b> Clarissa Padua, RD\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s your favorite cuisine?
