Yep they’re out there, and at one time or another we’ve all indulged in them. They’re the not so good choices we’ve made because we think we want it or even worse we think we need it! Can you imagine a worse crime than thinking we need to eat something that’s calorie loaded just for the sake of eating. Raise your right hand is this is you. I thought as much, it’s okay because it’s not the end of the world and best of all you can still do something about it.
I’m constantly saying that there’s always a choice and it’s the choice that we make that matters the most. So lets make the smarter choice that we know we want to but often don’t. You can still have your cake and eat it too so to speak by chosing something that’s less calorie dense. Here are some examples of things I’ve done in the past that have helped make a difference:
★ Instead of ice-cream in a cone
✔ I have a single scoop of ice-cream in a cup with a spoon
★ Instead of a ham, cheese, mayonnaise and salad sandwich
✔ I have Subway 6″ roasted chicken on wheat with all the salads and toasted for texture
★ Instead of McDonalds Hamburgers
✔ I have a homemade lean burger in a multi-grain roll with loads of salad to fill me up
★ Instead of a slice of cake
✔ I have a slice of cake for two (half the cake = half the calories)
★ Instead of a latte with sugar
✔ I have a skinny latte with sweetener
★ Instead of dip and biscuits
✔ I have a french onion cottage cheese dip with carrot and celery sticks
★ Instead of a hot chocolate
✔ I have a cup of cocoa with sweetener
★ Instead of dip and biscuits
✔ I have a french onion cottage cheese dip with carrot and celery sticks
You don’t have to go without to be health conscience you just have to make smarter nutritional choices, that’s all. Now I’ve shared with you some of my ideas, I want to know about yours?
