Why be creative with your food? I have found over the years that 80% of clients do not like to eat the same thing. They like variety and different tastes and textures. So, recipes assist you with getting out of that feeling. Recipes are also easy for families. If there is only time to cook one meal, this is a great way to feed the family and stay losing weight. For some of our clients, they prepare a weeks’ worth of dinners and freeze for the week.

Meal planning is essential for success.  Why? Because if you do not know where you are going, you will never arrive.  Meal planning is your road map to success.  You must understand how you are eating for the day or the week you are in.  I have found that a sense of peace washes over the clients who plan their meals. Before long, this becomes a habit.  Meal planning also sets parameters.  It gives you clear expectations and it provides you routine. Routine is something most people need.

Meal Planning success

Meal planning also saves you time and money.  It is also less stressful.  Planning will keep you calm and avoid feeling out of control.  Most clients do not do well with unknow or last-minute decisions.  It raises their stress levels and they feel out of control, so that leads to eating off-plan, the standard response to handling stress.  That is why you are here!  To deal with this take time! Plan your eating day and week! You can do it!!

The benefits of spending 15 minutes planning your week are: feeling acommplished, feeling fantastic, feeling in control and loving weight loss !

Slow Cooker Chicken TacoBy Kevin PetrizioI have been asked recently about making some slow cooker dishes. With the cold weather coming, this seems like a great idea.
Grilled Cilantro-Lime Chicken with SalsaBy Kevin PetrizioThis is an update of an older recipe. I made a fresh, new salsa and tasty marinade for the chicken. I paired it with a tortilla, but rice or a potato would work just as well. When grilling the chicken, cook until the internal temp reaches 165°. An instant read thermometer works perfectly for this. Try not to over cook as the chicken will go from moist and tender to dry and leather very quickly.
Pineapple SalsaBy Lesia PetrizioMakes 4 cups ~ 1 cup of salsa counts as 1 fruit and ½ a veggie serving
