About

This blog was started as a result of having something most people are familiar with,your mom's cooking. Mom's make the simplest dishes taste like well,an edible delight

Ofcourse my girlfriend makes a mean sandwich too hahaha

 Lets dig into it then

First ill give some information on things I thought important then we can get to the good stuff.

The Problem With Most Diet Plans

New fad diets in books and magazines and the Internet are a dime a dozen. Some of them are actually pretty decent, but almost all of them have one single flaw that will make it very difficult for anyone to stick to them.

The flaw? They try to get you to change your entire diet at once.

That just doesn’t work for most people. Such a drastic change in diet is hard to sustain, and soon you give in to temptation and then it falls apart

Guidelines Behind Making a Realistic Diet Plan

 Feel free to add any that you think work,these are simply a few I think are important:

Apply these changes, one at a time, until you get used to them. This will probably be 3-4 weeks per step. But in a year’s time, you’ll be eating as healthy as possible.

Focus as much energy as possible on each change for at least a couple weeks. Don’t deviate if you can. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it.

If it seems too difficult, make a smaller step instead. For example, instead of cutting out sweets, just cut out cakes and donuts. Smaller steps make things much easier.

Always replace bad food with healthy food that you enjoy. What I’ve given are just examples — everyone has different tastes and opinions.

Everyone has their own views on a realistic plan,though my advice,take it easy,make it something you enjoy and you'll be suprised at how natural it'll become.

Here are some examples of how you can make small changes to your regular schedules:

Eat fruits for snacks. If you snack on junk food during the day, have some fruits by your side at all times. When you’re feeling hungry for a snack, eat a fruit. One of those bags of small apples is a handy thing — you can’t go wrong with apples.

Drink water instead of soda. The only thing I drink (besides an occasional beer) is water. I’m not saying you need to do that, but try to cut out sugary drinks a bit at a time, replacing them with water.

Eat whole grain bread. If you eat white bread or bagels or whatever, replace them with whole-grain versions. Be sure to look at the ingredients — it shouldn’t say enriched wheat flour, but whole grain. Also try to avoid breads with high-fructose corn syrup (actually, avoid that ingredient in anything).
Add fresh veggies to dinner. If you don’t already, have some steamed greens with dinner. Cut out a less healthy side dish if you usually eat something else.

Cut out red meat. You can still eat poultry and seafood for now. You can later cut those out too if you want.

Make pizza instead of ordering. The simple way is to get a ready-made whole-wheat crust, although making your own tastes even better. Start with the simple version, though, as you don’t want to make things too difficult. For the simple version, just add some gourmet spaghetti sauce (not Ragu), cut up some veggies (tomatoes and mushrooms and spinach and olives, use anything, even potatoes). Brush the veggies with some olive oil. You can add grated cheese or soy cheese if you want, though it’s not necessary. Bake till it looks cooked and enjoy

Nuts instead of chips. If you normally snack on chips, try unsalted peanuts or raw almonds.

Soy milk instead of whole milk. Whole milk is fatty (not to mention the suffering done by the cows in modern dairy factories). Soy milk is much healthier. You get used to it after awhile, like all the changes on this list, but if soy milk is a problem at least drink 1% milk
. 

Whole grain cereal. If you eat sugary cereal, try a whole-grain cereal instead.

Berries instead of candy. This works just as sweets,satisfies the sugar craving and keeps you healthy!

Scrambled tofu instead of fried eggs. Scrambled tofu is a secret vegan wonder. Check out the scrambled tofu recipe on my blog,its awesome

Try some great veggie dinners. There are so many good ones out there if you haven’t tried them. Perhaps a soup or a chili.
