Q about the Clean Eating challenge- Clean Eating menus?
I am really excited to challenge myself to eat better. Will everyone be posting their menus or recipes? I like to do a weekly meal plan and really do not know where to start.
I am borderline diabetic as well, so I need to watch my carb count...
Re: Q about the Clean Eating challenge- Clean Eating menus?
I'm not sure how it will work, but I've been looking up some recipes to prep. Here are some good sites:
http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/real-food-resources/
www.thegraciouspantry.com
And Clean Eating magazine has some good ones too.
We also have an indoor grill, so I plan to do lots of grilling with clean marinades, with veggies and quinoa, sweet potatoes, brown rice, barley, etc., on the side.
Yeah, I was thinking about doing a few different kinds of posts. I was going to start with a planning post tomorrow. A lot of times when I get in trouble on my diet it is because I didn't plan ahead or prepare for certain situations. Last night I went shopping, and got really hungry. My sister had a processed granola bar -- so I ate that. Lots of sugar, and did not fill me up at all. In fact, it made me hungrier. So tomorrow we can talk "strategy" about how we are going to do this. Grocery shopping is going to be key. Also, menu posts will be good too. Trying new things makes it fun, and I can't wait to share my salmon burger recipe.
For motivation, I just found this article.
