A large factor in whether or not my clients and readers are able to stay on task in getting in better shape, deals specifically with having the time to keep up with eating better.
If you think about it, society is constantly pushing back against you wanting to eat better foods. The least nutritious food choices among the whole are the ones which are more prevalent, faster, and often less expensive. If you add in our hurried lives, this makes the goal of fitness more difficult. Faster is always going to be an imperative in our modern existence. Eating right is often slower in shopping and preparation time invested than what you put in eating poorly with fast food.
The obvious first step is one I have advocated to clients in person and in my writings: when you make something healthy, make enough for later on. However, the problem is you might get sick of what you made and want a totally new meal. We're only human right? Also, eating really healthy can be really pricey. The debate rages on with that one. You have some people who eat healthy regularly claim it is cheaper. This has not been my experience. I also believe the lower cost of more processed and less healthy foods is a big draw.
So let's see if we can get the benefits of lower price and good health in an unlikely area: the frozen food aisle.
Three Items In The Frozen Food Section Of The Super Market That Will Help You Lose Weight And Keep It Off
1. Dial yourself up the frozen fruit and vegetables without worry. To me they taste just as good. I'll venture you probably haven't tried them and might have it in your head they taste lousy. Try them and then decide. You have variety, good taste, good health, value, and no more worry about them spoiling. I like to throw carrots or broccoli in the steamer for 20 to 25 minutes for a yummy and healthy side dish.
2. Have some premium high-end ice cream on hand. You want the ones with the least ingredients. I am talking about sugar, real cream, and natural flavors. Here is a primer on healthy ice creams, but remember it's ice cream. It is always going to be in the 20% rather than the 80% of allowed foods. My rule is buy quality and this means fewer ingredients. You aren't going to through a carton in a week anyways. It's a treat so treat yourself well.
3. You can load up on the steaks. Fresh frozen t-bones, new york strips, and sirloins are now common in your frozen food section. They are tasty and easy to prepare. The ones I buy you simply bake them for about 15 or 20 minutes. The key here is savings. You can get 6 or 8 strips for $10 to $15. You can make 3 or 4 good meals for two people out of that. Good luck beating that in the fresh meats aisle. Also don't forget to check the internet. There are some very popular online brands.
