Little things add up...doing the following helps me with my health goals:
- wash fruit and put in bowls and place towards the front of shelves in fridge when you get home from the market (instead of putting them in vegetable drawers where they can be forgotten)..pre-washing/soaking helps the incentive as a quick snack instead of reaching for a bag of chips
- bean salads are cheap, healthy-and VERY filling. Black beans, red onion, green pepper, garlic, corn, olive oil and cilantro-and tastes fresh for several days (soak the beans to get rid of potential gastrointestinal issues!)
- a hard boiled egg makes a healthy snack too-boil several at a time in put them in bowl in fridge too
- when I make a salad-I usually make one for the next day in put it in a tupperware container with a paper towel in it; another incentive to eat healthy w/o the effort of washing, drying and cutting everything up again
- always keep frozen berries on hand to make quick smoothies and save for times when when you don't feel like going to the market to get fresh produce but have ran out; I buy bananans every week but usually get sick of them after a couple days-so there's always 1 or 2 ripe bananas left-they sweeten the plain berries so no need to add sugar to the smoothies
Just some small tips..as everything adds up and things like that can become habit.
