When i think about the thin people i know none of them eat perfectly all the time. I know the most healthy people who from time to time will indulge with a sundae or some buttery popcorn. But they eat good MOST of the time. Not a cheat day. NOT a cheat week (what the heck is that) and not like we were brought up eating whatever whenever. They make it part of theyre daily lives to eat good. We need to ask ourselves everytime we lift something to our mouth...how will this effect my body? my mood? my goals? Yeah pizza is great but personally it gives me a stomach ache and its just cheese, fatty meat and white bread... if i want to indulge in pizza i can get a flat bread with light cheese and veggies and it will be just as satisfying to my mouth as it is to my heart and my mind. Over eating and eating bad only feels good for a moment and then you have the reprocutions. Besides weight gain you feel guilty and the lack of nutrients in your body makes you depressed even rage. So today I (and hopefully you) will think before i let anything enter my mouth. IS THIS GOOD FOR ME? Good for me can taste wonderful i have packed up for the day some fiber one with skim milk, strawberries, whole wheat crackers w/2 oz cheese and a few olives, some taboulle and some homemade soup. Its in my little lunch cooler and now i have no exuse not to eat good while at work.
Taboulee is so easy to make and so nutritious
1c bulger soaked in 1c water
1 fresh lemon squeezed
2 bunches parsley chopped
1 bunch scallions chopped
2 tomatoes diced
1 bunch mint about a handful chopped
salt to taste
after the bulger soakes up the water about 1hr you add the rest of the ingredients and mix. This makes enough for a couple days and it gets better as you go. I use a food processor to chop the mint,parsley and scallions
