I've talked about eating healthy before. Here's just a few new tips I've thought of that are tasty, easy and healthy.
1) DRIED fruit and veggies vs potato chips.
I'm tellin' you, I had a potato chip the other day and then had a dried plantain. Guess what tasted better to me!! That's right. The plantain. No joke, it didn't taste processed, fake, or too salty like the potato chip. I wonder why?....that's sarcasm my friends.
It was all natural and so delicious! Great crunchy snack. I can't stress this enough to those of you who crave crunchy snacks during the day. If you have a dehydrator, great! dehydrate your produce! If not, publix has a dried fruit section with their nuts and produce. Go buy a bag. Make sure there's no sugars or salts added.
Let us remember that salt encourages fat cells to form. Here's a little info about salt's effect on your body.
2) substitute beef for ground turkey.
Sounds gross now, but it tastes the same and it's so much healthier. yumyumyum. Make some turkey patties, grill 'em up, and pack 'em away. During the week on your lunch break you can throw a patty in your salad. Delicious, and it's getting that protein in. :)
If you really really REALLY need that burger, cut the carbs by eating it like a pizza. That's right, only one side of the bun. Or, if you're really good, leave the bun out and only eat the patty with the toppings. Add more lettuce, less mayo, mustard and ketchup.
3) Every girl has that time of month that it's really hard to deny chocolate. So let's at least try to be good. Chocolate covered bananas or strawberries. Not graham crackers or pretzels...stay with the fruit. It's satisfying and delicious. My boyfriend is NOT a health-freak like I am, but even he gets jealous when I say I had chocolate covered fruit for dessert.
There's your three tips for now!!!
PS: I've posted three entries today. But they've been waiting for me to publish from my drafts folder for quite some time. My bad.
Keep it up guys!
