Healthy Eating Facts: This Will Guarantee Healthy Weight Loss…

It all gets pretty confusing, protein, nutrients, good carbs, bad carbs… there are tons of good healthy eating facts out there and it can get very frustrating.

Today, let’s put away the latest calorie counting charts and discuss a tactic that is incredibly easy and is guaranteed to help you lose weight, and eat more healthy. It is truly one of the best healthy eating facts around.

Consider this, when was the last time you ordered a pizza or went through the drive through at the local fast food place?

You know the super deluxe pizza, or the hamburger and fries are bad for you… so, why? Why did you go there?

I’m sure there are exceptions, but my guess would be that most of you grabbed the burger or pizza for no reason other than – you didn’t know what to fix for dinner. The fast food place was on the way home, and it offered a simple solution.

To a surprising extent, our unhealthy diets exist for no reason other than convenience. It’s a fact – but, not one of the healthy eating facts. The last thing we want to do after a long day at work, is create a menu for our dinner. We are tired! Then, when you consider the minefield of good carbs, bad carbs and so on… it’s even worse. BTW – it’s just as bad to toss a frozen pizza into the oven as it is to order one.

Here’s how to solve that problem…On your next day off (or whenever you can) set aside a couple hours and plan your dinner menu for each day in the coming week! Go two weeks if you are feeling ambitious.

Put each meal plan on a separate sheet of paper in a 3 ring binder. If you want to go all out, you can even separate the days with pretty, multicolored tabs. Eventually, you will probably want to laminate the pages.

Then, each evening when you get home, flip to that days’ recipe and make it. Get in the habit of NEVER – under any circumstance – deviating.

This will stop you from having to worry about what to fix for dinner and will totally eliminate those last minute impulse buys from the local fast food place.

The danger is, many of you won’t want to try this because it seems too simple. But, it works and saves a lot of money too.

If you were to hire a personal chef and gave them the task of fixing tasty, nutritious, low calorie, healthy meals, you wouldn’t question it, you would just eat the meals. Think of your weekly meal plan as being prepared by your personal healthy eating chef. Don’t change it during the week, just fix that meal every day.

Right now, it may seem like a boring chore, but once this becomes a habit you will learn to truly love your binder.

If you plan all your meals to be healthy ones, it MUST eventually improve your health. It has to!

When the first week is over, do it all again. Create a new plan for the new week. If you make them all different recipes, by the end of the month you will have an entire month’s worth of unique meals.

Every meal, for four weeks, will be different. This way you will never get tired of eating the same meals over and over again. They will all be tasty, nutritious and low calorie. Once you’ve gotten this far, you can stop your weekly planning and just continuously rotate the recipes in your binder.

This will save you a bundle at the grocery store, and is one of the best healthy eating facts out there.
