3) I have reduced my burger and red meat intake to maybe 3 to 5 meals per week, instead of 10+ meals per week
As a result of these changes, I have lost weight--although that was not my goal in trying to eat healthier.
My new goals:
1) Think about eliminating caffeine (yikes!)
2) Find a way to incorporate brown rice into diet (learn how to cook it)
3) Eat more dark green veggies and less fruit
Thanks everyone for all your help. I am so new to all this. |
Damn Skinny....that is AWESOME! Looks like you're already made more changes than you originally planned.
A couple tips on your new goals.
1. Brown rice is a little more time consuming to cook than white rice, so for things like that I usually cook larger quantities, break up the leftovers into some manageable serving sizes, and freeze it. Then when you want some brown rice with a meal, you can just whip out a container from the freezer and heat it up.
2. In regards to the dark green veggies...that is one of the best things you can do! One piece of advice is to try and modify some Indian food recipes...they work very well with dark green veggies. I will usually replace the base ingredient with green veggies. Also, for a quick meal, mixing some good simmer sauces out of a jar with green veggies is a good way to make sure you incorporate the greens when you are crunched for time.
