Sims enjoys healthy protein options such as salmon, which is rich in omega-3s. "People who eat omega-3s in their diet may have less plaque buildup in their arteries, lowering the risk of heart attack and stroke," says Anna Taylor, MS, RDN, LD. "Omega-3s lower triglyceride levels and may slightly raise 'good' HDL cholesterol levels."
"Being from the South, I grew up on fried foods and biscuits," Sims tells Chilled Magazine. "When I cook, I try to make it as healthy as possible. Competing in pageants definitely taught me to just suffer through some basic, bland chicken! I have since learned ways to put a kick in grilling chicken, such as wrapping some turkey bacon around it. Teriyaki salmon is my signature dish, but I also make some mean chorizo breakfast tacos."
Sims enjoys incorporating shrimp into her meals. "You know, we always were taught eggs were bad, it's got cholesterol," says Mark Hyman, MD. "Don't eat shrimp, it's got cholesterol, and you know, the dietary guidelines committee said in the last guidelines, and these new guidelines said that cholesterol is, 'No longer a nutritive concern.' Like, that's a very kind of a funny death for this whole idea, when 35 years we've been told to cut out dietary cholesterol, it causes heart disease. Well, there's no evidence that says it's true. So they finally had to admit it, and they can actually look at the evidence and there was like, no evidence that dietary cholesterol is an issue. So go eat your whole eggs. Go eat your shrimp, don't worry about it."
"I am currently obsessed with trying different types of crab cakes," she says. "Every restaurant I've been to lately has its own twist to it! Last week, I had a crab cake with bacon in it! WHAT! Generally, I am pretty picky when it comes to food, although I say I'll try anything twice. I also rarely have a meal without ordering something with melted chocolate on it for dessert. S'mores are also on my go-to radar."
Sims enjoys eating plenty of vegetables both in main dishes and in salads. While fresh vegetables are generally considered to be the better choice, experts say canned and frozen should not be dismissed. "Fresh isn't necessarily always best," says Beth Czerwony, RD. "Sometimes fresh vegetables you buy in the grocery store have traveled from a very long distance. After they get picked and packed and transported over the course of several days, they lose some of their nutrients. So frozen vegetables could actually be a better option. They are picked and frozen within hours of being harvested, so they're going to retain a lot more of their nutrition that way.
