So many times I have read in magazines about the next "quick fix" to lose weight.
Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but it's not the solution!
Healthy eating has to be a lifestyle! You can't just decide that you want to lose a few pounds, eat good for a week, and then go straight back to eating all that other junk!
When you want to lose a few pounds, add more fruits and veggies into your meals.
But...DO NOT DEPRIVE yourself!
A lot of times, people think, "I am going on a diet. I can't eat cake, cookies, etc, for a whole month!" Well, what do you think they want to eat the most????
EXACTLY THOSE THINGS!
If you're serious about losing weight, or just eating better foods to be healthier, you need to do so gradually. Over time, the more veggies and fruit you eat, believe it or not, you will most likely CRAVE those foods, instead of the JUNK!
Here are some healthy snack and things to include in your meals for those of you looking to make that journey towards a lifestyle of healthy eating.
Snacks:
Remember...
Healthy Eating is a LIFESTYLE, not a quick fix!
