I started eating better

Last year I was pretty much a slave to fast food. Not only was it breaking my wallet but I also gained 20 pounds within the year! It was the heaviest I’ve ever been. This year I wanted to start off better by teaching myself how to cook my own meals and it’s actually been pretty fun and easy.

What are some of your favorite to go meals? I’m still working on finding recipes for lunch and dinner ideas

2024/6/7 Edited to

Eating healthier doesn't have to be a daunting task. Many people struggle with fast food temptations, just like I did. Fast food is easy and convenient, but it often leads to poor health outcomes. By learning to prepare my own meals, I not only saved money but also regained control over my diet. Cooking at home allows for healthier ingredient choices, portion control, and the opportunity to explore diverse cuisines. Start by researching simple recipes that fit your lifestyle; even beginner-friendly meal prep can make a huge difference. Engaging with online food communities can inspire you to try new dishes and techniques. Don't hesitate to start with quick recipes or one-pot meals that require minimal effort. It's essential to enjoy the cooking process and experiment with flavors you love. Cooking can become a rewarding hobby that improves both your health and your palate. Making small changes gradually can lead to significant health benefits while keeping meals enjoyable.

how I lost 14 lbs by eating right, not less!

I eat more now than I did on the left — I had a bad relationship with food and I was lazy when it came to cooking. I used to be one of those girls that would count calories, eat “fat free”, wait until 4/5pm to have a bite of food… I would be so hungry I’d binge, understandably. I would feel so
