They say failure to plan is planning to fail, and that applies to your nutrition too. The best way to set yourself up for success in the kitchen is to meal plan and prep.
Meal planning means deciding what you would like to eat for your meals each day of the week. From that list of meals, you can create your grocery list and shop.
Meal prepping means cooking meals ahead of time so they’re ready to grab, pack, and reheat. However, for people with busy lives, meal prepping can sound overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. Meal prepping is for everyone and can be as easy or as complicated as you make it. Here are some tips and tricks to save time and energy while meal prepping.
They say you can’t outrun a bad diet, and it’s true. Having proper nutrition is a vital part of maintaining a healthy weight and overall health. But how do you learn about nutrition and figure out what works for you? Many people turn to the internet, which is overflowing with information, or you may be influenced by family, friends, colleagues, and celebrities on social media. These paths usually lead people to fad diets. Fad diets are usually not sustainable, supported only by personal stories, not backed by science, and can lead to yo-yo dieting.
So how do you know whether a diet is a fad? They are usually restrictive, promise unrealistic results, and are expensive or unsustainable.
