Nutrition and Weight Loss Ideas

What do you do if you’re the person who prepares the meals in your home, but you’re the only one who is trying to lose weight — or who is really focused on getting healthier through your dietary habits? I know that happens a lot, and there are ways to meet your needs at the same time as you’re meeting your family’s.

With some careful planning, you can come up with great meals that everyone in your family can enjoy. And, do you know what the really neat part of this blog today is?

Not only are you going to keep losing the weight you want to lose — not only are you going to feel better and have a lot more vitality — but you family is also going to be getting great nutrition and be enjoying better health — and who knows — they may also lose a few pounds in the process!

Here are a few guidelines to help you with lunches …

* Keep your cupboards stocked with a variety of whole-grain breads. Whole-wheat sliced bread, whole-wheat pita, whole-grain pumpernickel, and whole-grain tortillas are some family-friendly varieties to choose from.

* Make hearty, family-worthy Cobb or chef-style salads with dark, leafy greens, tomatoes, avocados, turkey bacon, and lean deli meats. Use low-sugar, low-fat salad dressings or make your own using extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, lemon or lime juice and some fresh herbs.

* Make some hearty bean soups using lentils, split peas, and black beans. These are nutrient-dense, fiber-rich choices that will satisfy the entire family. Don’t forget to add some good veggies and stay away from any white rices or pasta. If you want to add these to the soup, be sure you go for the brown rice or whole wheat pastas.

* Enjoy lean deli meats. Choose lean deli meats like turkey breast, chicken breast, and ham. Make sure you select varieties without added sugars (for instance, avoid honey-baked ham), and serve deli meats with condiments like Dijon mustard and mayonnaise. You can also save on some extra calories by not putting it all on bread once in a while. Go for a roll-up instead by rolling the meat and some low-fat or no-fat cheese into a boston lettuce leaf. If you do use bread, stay with the 100% whole grain varieties of bread, pitas, and tortillas.
