Successful “Diet” Strategy
Posted by Dr. Mom Online in Kids' Nutrition, Nutrition, Weight Loss and Fat Loss on March 5, 2010Apparently, I have subconsciously adopted a “diet” strategy that keeps my family and me pretty darn healthy and without too many worries about weight gain.
I didn’t realize until a few days into vacation that, back home, I don’t each much junk because I DON’T BUY much junk. If it’s not right there in front of me or easily accessible in my house, I’m not going to eat it! Duh. I keep my shopping list pretty simple and clean. Planning meals in advance of shopping trips has proven immensely valuable on many levels!
Vacation has proven that if someone makes tasty toxins easily and readily available to me, there’s a much higher likelihood that I’ll indulge! Duh #2.
I’m not too worried about it on vacation. We’re still getting what we need each day as far as nutrition is concerned… we’re just adding a few more things that we obviously DON’T need! Healthy choices are still winning by a landslide though!
Yesterday was a cheese and crackers day. Organic, yes. But, still not health-building as far as crackers are concerned. I was reminded why I will not buy crackers at home! Yours truly would secretly attempt to live on cheese, crackers, grapes and wine!!
I notice this ALL the time with our kids – I always say, “It’s funny what they’ll eat when that’s all they’ve got to choose from!” When they’re away from all the common snack foods they encounter in their social circles and in the media like chips and crackers and pretzels and cereal and bagels and pizza and so on, I see them happily munching on veggies and fruit and almonds and hard-boiled eggs. BAM! As soon as they’re back in the mix, seeing all the tasty toxins, they’re tempted… and whiney!! Lol!
Don’t buy it. You won’t have it. Your kids won’t have it.
That’s gotta’ be worth AT LEAST 5 lbs. and a few body fat percentage points in your journey to optimal body composition!
