Whoo Hoo ... I'm down a half pound. Maybe there is something to eating mostly fruits & veggies all day long. I wouldn't say that I feel better energy wise like all the articles have claimed but losing a half pound has made me feel better & it's giving me the needed push to not give up.
Q: How does the family feel about the food changes?
A: My husband loves the changes. He says this is the way he grew up eating because they couldn't afford much more than fruits & veggies. My kids ... ummm ... well they like the fruit as long as I let them have a 100 calorie pack or a cup of ice cream throughout the day too. The wheat bread my son loves, my daughter says white is the bomb & wheat is satins spawn. LMAO ... We had brown rice last night & both kids hated it, but to be honest, they really don't like white rice either. I put peas in the salad & they seemed to like it. Don't know what their going to say to salad again tonight! Maybe I'll put squash in it to mix it up.
What do you put in your salads?

ReplyDeleteMy best friend (who lives next door to me) makes the best salad. When I am in a salad mood, she makes some for me too... ( i have her over for dinner all the time, so it balances it out...lol) She puts, beans, almonds, avacado, squash, cucumbers, cheese, chicken, apples, oranges, walnuts.... Different variations to mix it up so it isn't the same all the time. Hope that helps.

what do I put in my salad well peas, green and purple onion, tomatoes, black olives, and sunflower seeds.
ReplyDeleteI won't use green olives to salty.
I am one of the rare people who don't eat any kind of dressing I love the raw veggies or fruit taste with no additives ... you are doing a wonderful job keep it up girl .
