Controversial info onboard!
This month I am focusing on keeping things SIMPLE to help you stay on track with your goals in 2022.
Today I want to talk about your MEALS … because a lot of times we’re led to believe that the more complicated and “fancy” our nutrition is, the better.
Here’s one GREAT way to keep it simple:
Eat real food. In other words, you will want to shop the perimeter of the grocery store and avoid the highly processed items. Come up with a “food formula” that works for you, that includes meals that
you love,
are simple and easy to throw together, and
align with your health & wellness goals
And simply rotate meals that follow that formula throughout the week!
You do NOT have to reinvent gourmet meals every time you sit down to eat … or constantly come up with new ideas every day.
Having a go-to formula works in several different ways:
It simplifies your shopping and food prep.
It removes “decision fatigue,” which can happen when you’re forced to make choices all day long. The more decisions you make, the harder it becomes to make good ones!
It helps stop that overwhelmed feeling you can get when you’re wondering whether your choices are “right” or “wrong” or “good” or “bad.”
It saves you time and energy and can actually help you stay on track.
This works whether you’re prepping meals for yourself or a houseful of picky eaters.
Personally, it’s SUCH a relief NOT to have the “what’s for dinner” question hanging over my head every day.
Do you have a list of go-to recipes that you eat on a regular basis?
What are some of your favorites? Let me know in the comments below.
