Conclusion (Health Blog Post #16)
Well...it looks like my health series is finally coming to a close. But before I end it, I want to tell you about this great website I found, called EatingWell.
There are tons of amazing recipes, and a meal planner. So if you have a hard time planning your meals, you can use that. :) You even have an option of counting calories with it to help you lose weight.
So, before I let this rest, I'm going to give you a few tips of my own to help you on your journey. And then it's up to you!
Tip #1: Try adding fruits or vegetables to your favorite recipes. I love pasta. But I found I love pasta with cooked broccoli, too. So I can add broccoli to my food to make it healthier.
Tip #2: Do you like meatloaf? This might sound a little strange, but when you're mixing it up, toss in a few cans of baby food, like carrots, peas, or green beans. Mix it in, and there you go! Stealth veggies. ^-^
Tip #3: Have fruit and whipped cream for dessert. Whip your own cream and avoid the additives - just remember not to eat too much! Fruit and whipped cream is delicious. Whipped cream also makes a yummy frosting.
Tip #4: Learn your spice rack! Spices add lots of flavor with few calories. You can use less salt, butter, all sorts of things, and make your food taste even more delicious. Try it with spaghetti sauce; get a can of tomato sauce, add a bunch of dried ground garlic and oregano, and toss in some browned hamburger. Quick, easy, and delicious.
Tip #5: Remember serving sizes. Even a serving of a good thing can be too much if that serving is huge. Listen to your stomach it will tell you when it's done. If you don't quite know when to stop, try fasting for a day. You'll understand what it feels like to really be hungry,and that will help you know when you're full.
So that's the end of my series! ^-^ I hope it was helpful, and you learned something!
I' m trying to decide what to do next; any suggestions?
