Common Excuses For Not Eating Healthy<\/span><\/h2>\n

Busy Schedule<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Prepare lunches<\/strong> \u2013 this can not only help financially but nutritionally. Preparing your own lunch also provides the ability to control what you are eating by using health choices; making them the night before helps everyone grab and go in the morning.<\/li>\n
  • Quick Prep & Cook Dinners<\/strong> \u2013 there are a multitude of 5 or less ingredients and under 30 minute dinner recipes on the internet & in cookbooks readily available.<\/li>\n
  • Have Dinners Brought to you <\/strong>\u2013 local businesses offer healthy, prepared meals to your door. The Bonicelli Cooking Club<\/a> offers healthy meals to your door as do other local businesses such as Let\u2019s Dish<\/a> who offers meals from your freezer to table in 30 minutes. These are just a few places we found online to provide complete meals at various prices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Comfort Foods<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Learn Healthy Replacements<\/strong> – the best way to deal with your love of comfort foods is learning how to prepare healthier versions. This NCOA video<\/a> shows you how to prepare comfort foods or replace unhealthy ingredients with healthier options.<\/li>\n
    • Limit & Portion Control<\/strong> \u2013 nobody wants to go through life with never<\/span> eating a comfort food again; so limit the number of times you eat your favorite comfort foods and also use portion control to ensure you\u2019re not \u201cover-enjoying\u201d an unhealthy option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Not Knowing Enough About Preparing\/Eating Healthy<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Take Classes<\/strong> \u2013 there are local organizations<\/a> and online healthy lifestyle courses and cooking classes that can help you learn how to buy the right foods, prepare them and enjoy them with minimal work.<\/li>\n
      • One on One Training<\/strong> \u2013 enjoy one on one time with a professional chef or dietitian so you can ask questions specific to your needs. This is especially helpful for those who have particular dietary needs (cholesterol, low sodium, diabetic, etc.).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
