This Is One Of The Healthy Eating Facts That Actually Works!
It all gets pretty confusing, protein, nutrients, good carbs, bad carbs... there are tons of good healthy eating facts out there and it can get very frustrating.
Today, let's step back a little from all the confusion, and talk about one of the best healthy eating facts around. Do this, and you are guaranteed to have healthy, nutritious meals that will help you lose weight (if that is what you want).
Think about this for a moment... when was the last time you ordered a pizza or picked up dinner from a fast food place?
Why? You are trying to lose weight, and you know those things are bad for you...so why did you do it?
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 how to solve that problem...On your next day off (or whenever you can) set aside a couple hours and plan your dinner menu for each day in the coming week! Go two weeks if you are feeling ambitious.
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.
Now, here's the important part. Each evening when you get home, open your binder to that day's menu and make it. We want to make this a habit, so never deviate under any circumstances.
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 had a personal chef, and their job was to fix you healthy, nutritious, low-calorie meals, you would expect them to preplan the menu. If they always waited until the last minute for inspiration, you would most likely fired them. Think of yourself in the same way, pre-plan your meals. Then, don't change your plans during the week.
Right now, it may seem like a boring chore, but once this becomes a habit you will learn to truly love your 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.
I think that's one of the best healthy eating facts out there, and it will help you save a bundle at the grocery store.
