If you have read or been following our blogs for anytime now, you may remember the topic of Realistic Nutrition being another blog on our Fit for Life site. You would be right but as a starter to this page, I wanted to touch on the again for a moment.
One of the many items we talk about in our seminars and training sessions is realistic nutrition and meal planning. The reason we term this Realistic Nutrition is due to the fact that in order for you or us to maintain a lifestyle of health, wellness and fitness the changes we incorporate have to be realistic for us to accomplish in our everyday lives.
The topic of proper "healthy" nutrition is one which brings out the fight in almost any who start discussing it because there are so many different opinions to what is healthy or unhealthy in our food choices. The most simple way to approach the idea of healthy eating could be brought down to; most people know what they should be doing, it's the doing it that gets in the way. We all know if you have a choice between a Twinkies snack or an apple the healthier of the two would obviously be the apple {even non-organic apples are better for you than the Twinkies :)}, if you have the choice between the chicken fried chicken covered with white gravy or the grilled chicken with broccoli and a salad what is healthier? We know the answer, it's the carrying out of the better which causes us to stumble.
We do not in any way promote guilt as a way to get people to change their lifestyles and this includes how we talk to people concerning food. You have come here to check things out and what we want to do with these recipes and meal planning ideas is give you simple yet great tasting foods you may want to add to the meals you already prepare.
The idea and hope is to start blogging some of our meals here so you can see what we are cooking up at Cafe' Michael's (which is what Lesa affectionately calls our kitchen). These are meals we prepare and feel you may enjoy as well. The fun thing is, you we be able to take some of it; mix and match what you eat together for you or your family.
Enjoy and if you have any questions send them our way.
Power and Strength;
