I’m going to go and pick up that issue, the article looks super interesting.

Eating is such a simple thing and I think that over the last few decades it’s just been so obsessed over that most people look at it as something super complicated but it’s really not! That article seems as though it really drives the point home.

I loved Bethenny on The Real Housewives of NYC. She’s very funny! I totally agree with what she’s saying. Most healthy, fit people I know don’t really exclude any foods from their diets. I guess it’s the same as the philosophy that everything is okay in moderation.

Balanced eating is difficult for me, so I started counting my servings of fruits and veggies a day. My goal is 8-10 servings, and I usually try to get in about 6-8 before dinner. I find that if I stick to it, I feel better and fuller! I’ve also replaced dairy products with soy products (no cheese!), and bake my own weekly sweet treats.

The hardest part is not eating out all the time, so my weekly allowance is one breakfast,lunch, and dinner meal out a week, where I can get whatever I want. This helps me save money too!

Have you heard of/tried this yet???

Oat Milk: Often referred to as “oatmeal in a glass” by fans, this non-dairy beverage boasts all the goodness of oatmeal, but in liquid form. The oats give it a slightly sweet taste and a light, creamy consistency that also lends well to cooking and baking. In addition to the obvious fiber advantage, oat milk is packed with good nutrients, including vitamin E, folic acid, and phytochemicals, which are naturally occurring compounds that help fight cancer, heart disease, and strokes. If you’re already over non-dairy milk’s almond and hemp varieties, it might be time to give oatmeal a try.

I like the thinking of that article. I try and balance things out but it doesn’t always work out!
