Introduction
We dont care what a lot of people say. The best way to have a healthier diet and lose weight is not by eating less but by eating better. That means you have to pay a lot more attention to the foods youre eating as well as your eating schedule (super important, believe it or not). While were not going to pretend to be dieticians, we will say that all you need to do other than having an active lifestyle is making sure youre eating a balanced diet on a consistent schedule.
By balanced, we mean with enough veggies, carbs, and protein. And by a consistent schedule, we suggest trying to stick to breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the same hours every day; otherwise, your digestion will go crazy. We cant help you with consistent lunch hours, but count us in as far as what youre eating! In The Dieting Soulmates Cookbook, youll find all of the recipes you and your healthy-eating partner need to stay full and energized without having to eat less or live off of lettuce and air, so lets get started!
To help you navigate the foods you want to be eating, weve broken the cookbook down into 4 sections: appetizers, mains, desserts, and drinks. We meant it when we told you we had something for every craving! In chapter one, youll learn how to make easy and healthy appetizers like turkey and lettuce Chinese wraps, black bean and cheese nachos, and mini almond cheese balls. In chapter two, youll learn all about healthy mains such as sweet & spicy shrimp with noodles, red pepper chicken, and meatloaf. Thats as far as savory cravings go, so lets see what weve prepared for you when your sweet tooth is calling.
In chapter three, weve got treats like blueberry cobbler, chocolate and zucchini bread, and cheesecake brownies for dessert. Finally, in chapter 4, weve got drinks like pumpkin smoothies, citrus coconut water, and Frappuccino. So really, what are you waiting for? Dieting has never been more delicious than with us! And weve made it even more fun because were doing it together (or with our respective pairs at least)! Good luck!
