Health tip IV: Cut it with the butter

This tip is for every single one of you who isn't used to the Mediterranean diet. We Spaniards, Italians, Greeks and so on usually cook with olive oil. I've noticed that in France, England and the northern countries you guys cook with butter, and butter is an awful lot caloric, not to mention unhealthy. It is pure fat, guys. Pure cholesterol running through your veins. I am not saying that you should stop using butter altogether, but you could maybe cut it down a little if you want to have a healthier diet. Olive oil is caloric as well, I won't lie to you, but it is much more natural.

However, if you want to keep using butter, you could maybe alternate it with margarine. It is not as tasty, but it will decrease the calories of your meal, as well as the fat.

• My tip: Use olive (or vegetal) oil when cooking instead of butter. Save the butter for the toast!
