This Is One Of The Healthy Eating Facts That Actually Works!
Good carbs, bad carbs, protein, nutrients...It can all get pretty heavy duty. Healthy eating facts abound and can get very confusing.
But today, let's step back and do something that is incredibly simple and is absolutely guaranteed to work and make us lose weight! It is truly one of the best healthy eating facts and will help us eat nutritious, healthy meals every bit as effectively as the latest calorie charts!
Take a moment to think about this...when was the last time you picked up dinner at a fast food restaurant, or ordered a pizza?
You know the super deluxe pizza, or the hamburger and fries are bad for you... so, why? Why did you go there?
I'm sure there are exceptions, but my guess would be that most of you grabbed the burger or pizza for no reason other than - you didn't know what to fix for dinner. The fast food place was on the way home, and it offered a simple solution.
That may indeed be a fact, but not one of the healthy eating facts! True, after a hard day's work, the last thing we want to do is have to come up with an idea for a meal. It's even worse when you throw in the healthy, lose weight restrictions. (Tossing a frozen pizza in the oven is no better than having one delivered.)
Here's an easy solution to that problem... whenever you can set aside a couple hours - plan your dinner menu for each day in the coming week. If you are feeling particularly ambitious, go for two weeks worth of menus. If you can't find a couple hours, schedule them. It's worth it.
Put each meal plan on a separate sheet of paper in a 3 ring binder. If you want to go all out, you can even separate the days with pretty, multicolored tabs. Eventually, you will probably want to laminate the pages.
Every night, when you get home, open your binder to that days menu and prepare it. Here's the important part, we want to make this a habit so never deviate from this daily plan.
All those costly, and unhealthy impulse buys from the local drive through will be totally eliminated. Plus, you no longer have to worry about what to fix for dinner.
This idea may seem too easy, but it works and will save a bundle of cash.
If you were to hire a personal chef and gave them the task of fixing tasty, nutritious, low calorie, healthy meals, you wouldn't question it, you would just eat the meals. Think of your weekly meal plan as being prepared by your personal healthy eating chef. Don't change it during the week, just fix that meal every day.
Once you make this a habit, you will learn to truly value and depend on that little binder.
If you plan all your meals to be healthy ones, it MUST eventually improve your health. It has to!
At the end of your first week, sit down and do it again. Make up a new meal plan for the next week. Try to make them all different recipes than the ones you had before. By the end of the first month, you will have a months worth of different recipes you can call on.
Every meal, for four weeks, will be different. This way you will never get tired of eating the same meals over and over again. They will all be tasty, nutritious and low calorie. Once you've gotten this far, you can stop your weekly planning and just continuously rotate the recipes in your binder.
This will save you a bundle at the grocery store, and is one of the best healthy eating facts out there.
