Today’s lunch! Part 2🍅🌾🐥

Nowadays you would think I were a diabetic or living in an old folk home with the meals I’m preparing. I am not a diabetic, and I don’t live in a home/rehab facility. But here’s the thing: low salt, ‘brown’ rice (vs. white), a simple 4 oz. piece of shredded chicken and raw tomatoes are all healthy choices! As a matter of fact, we are all at risk for diabetes and heart disease (they are the number one diseases in this country); thus, we should eat as if we have them already. That means take out the McDonald’s, pizza orders, restaurant food cooked heavily in canola, and all the ‘junk’ food and greasy stuff. If you eat these items learn to eat them very minimally! I use the My Fitness pal app to monitor calories, steps, etc. Did you know the food you consume can actually make you slimmer? This simple lunch I had made me feel full. I often use olive oil, some salt, or as you can see-ketchup as a condiment. Black pepper is great. I’m not a huge garlic fan unless it’s minced and worked into gourmet dishes. I am eating healthier these days and achieving optimal health. Contact me for details if you want to get on the same path. I am offering free 15 minute consultations.
