Think back to that the first day of school as a kid.... You might have felt uncomfortable, confused, and a little ackward in that situation. But after a month or so the new environment was no longer an issue. Things became a regular habit and matter of course. It's no different with lifestyle change.
You just can't lose sight that it takes time, planning and a little effort for something to become a healthy habit. Start with planning something for just a few days at a time and make them really simple. There are a million websites developed for this very thing. Use Google to find those great low calorie, and even low carb recipes. You'll find more than what you want. Or simply ask your slim healthy friends what their favorite recipes are! How hard is that?
Readers please feel free to share some of your quick and simple ideas for healthy meals and snacks!
I love these two websites for delicious, low-calorie and easy-to-prepare recipes:
ReplyDeletehttp://fatfreevegan.com/ (check out her blog, too – lots more recipes!)
http://www.nutritionmd.org/recipes
My favorite snacks are simple – raw veggies chopped up and paired with Walden Farms dressings. Simple, low-calorie, easy.
Molly, I will have to check these out. As long as I keep cooking the more I still always need new ideas.
ReplyDeleteOur area carries a whole line of Walden Farms products. I just wish they didn't have so much sucrolose (Splenda) in them, although in moderation, they're fine and they do taste good. Thanks for all your great ideas!
