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 !

Fish in Crazy WaterBy Kevin PetrizioThis dish in Italian is "Pesce all’Acqua Pazza" which translates to "Fish in Crazy Water". You really can't make this stuff up! The fish and the cherry tomatoes are key here. Get the freshest that you can. If you have a farmers market nearby and the tomatoes are in season, get them. You will be amazed at the results. As far as the fish is concerned, I used cod, but any white fish will work. Grouper, halibut, sole, sea bass and flounder are just a few examples. Use your favorite or try something new. But get the freshest that you can find.
Slow Cooker Beef Stew/SoupBy Kevin PetrizioThis recipe can be made as a stew or soup depending on how much water you use. Add 4 cups of water instead of the ½ cup and serve as a hearty beef soup if desired. This recipe will not have the thickness that most stews have because we are limiting the amount of starch. The tomato will give it a little “body”.
