AboutSusan Lee Ottevanger, Wellness Coach Expertise There is nothing on earth more important than your
body, your health. With a little knowledge, there is
nothing in life you have more power, more control
over. If you are tired of feeling bad, stop eating
badly. Most of what we eat most of: only a human
mistakes this stuff for food. Distinguish real,
satisfying food from the mere flavored packing
material that keeps you hungry. If you`ve been on
every diet twice and are going crazy, I can give you a
path to Peace in the Kitchen.
Experience In the late '80's my weight up and down reached a crisis. Arthritus in my back made it painfull to move. Balancing blood sugar had me eating more often. Eating more, moving less, miserable. My doctor smiled, said "just move more and eat less". This from a medical professional about to burst his buttons. Not a working plan. I knew I had to write my own, so I started researching what was new to put with what sorta worked for me in the past. Eat protein, eat carbs, just not at the same time. Never go around hungry, listen to your body, it can tell you what it needs.
I freely admit that my current diet is somewhat limited to a great deal of chicken and mashed potatoes, with a wayward veggie thrown in every once in a while.
I have decided that I will begin to try at least one new, healthy food per month to try and get my health back to where I want it to be, and also to be able to afford to try it.
My first success, that's actually encouraged me to expand my food-adventure, was spinach. I had a Subway turkey and ham foot long, had them put spinach on it with the lettuce, pickles and mustard, and really liked it. I've decided my next adventure will be tofu. So, what recommendations can you give as to preparation, "firmness" and companion foods I should eat with it?
Any additional advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Tracy
Answer Hi Tracy,
Good for you! A little information, a little courage, food can be fun.
My tofu experience is Tofutti, a soy cream cheese spread that I have been smearing on a whole grain bagel every morning for years. I think it tastes better than a dairy product, and I have a thing against many dairy products, and a thing against mixing carbs and protein in the same meal.
Please visit my site, www.premiumfuel.com for more info on eating real food instead of flavored packing material and the most effective tool to reduce health costs is a fork.
