Who Said Healthy Eating is Boring?



Mmmmm! Simply irresistible! This delicious meal was prepared using Brown Rice, Veggie Protein Sausage - Chorizo Style and Steamed Broccoli, Cauliflower and Carrots.



Eating and Living Healthy is not as complicated or boring as many think. Many of you may be already living a healthy lifestyle and many more problably still eating about anything, others are learning and are beginning to make changes in their lifestyles. Welcome everyone! I like to avoid pre-packaged meals and try to eat as healthy as possible. Yes! I said "try" I do my best, I am the first one to say that I do not always eat healthy, but at least 85% to 90% of the time I do. Every so often there is that craving for something that is "not that good for you" or you are invited to a party. I go and enjoy myself. Even though I don't really like much bagged snacks, I try this or that. Is one day and the best part is that I am not addicted to them! This is the major issue whith snacks, many individuals are addicted to them and must have them on a daily basis. Then.... we ask, how come there are so many obese people here? Mostly on account of "empty calories" and many more times just because the poor habit of planning heathier meals ahead of time. It is better to find a perfect balance than to not do it at all. Besides, I always use a good supplement on a daily basis. Once you get started, you will find out how easy it is to obtain more nutrients through your food. Please, do not forget about the children, teach them young to eat better.



About this dish, I love Chorizo! The sad part is that WOW! talk about fat content and sometimes by just looking at it I think about what would this do to my arteries? Good news, I found this all Veggie Protein Sausage - Chorizo Style with such an amazing flavor! Now I can enjoy my chorizo. I cooked the brown rice with the chorizo and added some fresh chopped onion, turmeric, garlic and sea salt. I cooked it in a rice cooker. The vegetables I steamed and sprinkled with some sea salt. My serving was 1 part rice and 3 parts vegetables, a very satisfying meal that your whole family will enjoy. Want to trick them? Cook it and do NOT even mention that the Chorizo is all veggie. Let them enjoy it and THEN.... let them know. Many times when we tell them what they are eating, the mind works in such a way that right there and then you will hear "yikes! veggie sausage? I don't like it" So.... put it on the table and....... Enjoy!



If you would like the recipe, send me and e-mail requesting the Brown Rice and Chorizo recipe. The supplements I use are of "High Quality" and have used them since 1998.



To your continued Health and Wealth,

Maritza

Enjoy your meal!

Say "NO" to Diets

Hello! If you are here it probably means that you also have been on a "Diet". You know, the ones where you don't eat at all, or eat a lot of "this" and none of "that", where you are constantly thinking of what you "want to eat" but can't, of course. Days keep on going and going and suddenly.,.. AHHHHH! you just can't take it any more and eat everything that is in front of you and.... more. Of course since you already ate everything you wanted the day before, what the heck! Keep on eating everything. See! That is the main reason "Diets" fail.

Once this happens you either feel confusion, disappointment, frustration, or you may be feeling all of them. These emotions are felt by millions each year who start diets that the end result is failure. So, what happens then? We simply give up. Just because we did not achieve the promised result. Now you stopped "dieting" and probably even gained what you lost and maybe... a few extra pounds as well. I will be sharing with you a program that works, is safe and healthy for you. This is only the beginning. Welcome to the journey of finding the new you. Are you ready?

Here are Three Reasons Why Diets don't Work:

1) A Quick Fix By drastically restricting your calorie intake or food choices. Many never exercised before and now are making the time to exercise. Then, what happens? Almost everyone return to their old habits once the goal is achieved. Back to eating the same way as before and maybe since you have not eaten your "favorite food" are indulging a little. The exercise will probably find an excuse for "tomorrow". By doing this, the weight will come back, even if it is a little at a time.

What to do? Have a Permanent lifestyle change in order to achieve sustained weight loss.

2) Fad Diets = Unbalanced Nutrition This is when you disregard the importance of a balanced nutrition by eating only certain types of food.

What to do? Learn how to balance your food in order to give your bodies the variety of nutrients it needs, including proteins, fats and the right type of carbohydrates. Don't forget to have a good quality supplement. You are probably thinking that I am out of my mind. I know, by experience that it is easier said than done. I am admitting here to all of you that I was addicted to carbohydrates! As I keep on bloggin I will share my experiences with you. All I can tell you is that I have done it at my own pace, don't diet, and have never gained the weight back. Everyones experiences will be different, but I am here to help you and support you. As we progress I know many of you will have many questions and it will be excellent to have an excellent support. Lets cheer for each other. I have one more size to drop as well. I will tell you my story on the next blog.

3) The High-Glycemic Trap Eating High-Glycemic Foods can sabotage even the best of diets plans because the resulting spike and subsequent drop in blood sugar leads to a more rapid return feelings of hunger.

What to do? Have a better approach, which focuses on low-glycemic carbohydrates, which help to moderate blood glucose levels, leaving you feeling full and satisfied longer

WOW! It sounds complicated. Don't worry, Even though the program may not sound as easy as it really is. The beginning is the worst. But once you discover a healthier, happier lyfestyle and you look back, you are going to be so happy you did it.

You may request an appointment in order for me to talk to you and we can make the arrangements.

I'll see you in a couple of days here! Wishing you Success!
