Most of the time when you think of being on a diet you concentrate on what you can't eat. Today we are going to talk about what you CAN eat!
There are many ways to convert the normal diet into a healthier diet with more whole foods and less processed foods. Here are some ideas.
Breakfast: never skip!!!
Eggs & fruit (I usually eat a banana every morning)
Omelet with veggies
Oatmeal and fruit
Any whole grain cereal (if you have to every once in a while)
Lunch/Dinner:
Chicken breast Salad
Tuna salad: Tuna in water drained and mixed with relish, lettuce, tomato and what ever else I have on hand. You can also try it with lettuce and apples.
Turkey sandwich on whole grain bread with lettuce and tomato and mustard.
Taco salad: Lettuce, tomato, Lean ground beef with seasoning, avocado, sprinkle of cheese, salsa.
Grilled Chicken breast with side salad and steamed veggies.
Snacks:
yogurt
almonds
Fruit
Cut veggies
These are just a few ideas. I will add more as we go. I do a lot of salads that can be used as a dinner or a lunch. Most of them consist of green or red leaf lettuce and tomatoes as a base then add from there. I like to add cucumbers, carrots and what ever I have on hand. One of my favorite things to add is strawberries. It was a surprise that I like it so much but it is so good! Be creative. Dinners are easy to convert to healthier. You can take what ever protein your family is eating and put it in a salad. Leave out the mayo or creamy dressing though!
I have some crock pot recipes I will add tomorrow.
