So, I know myself well enough to know that I can't just grab a recipe book and jump into a low-fat eating lifestyle 'cold turkey'. I've decided to warm up with a few new rules.
First of all - no more fast food. Eliminating the weekly trip to McD's etc. will cut out a lot of grease. Now- how to make it happen. I usually send the hubby to a burger place for our dinner on nights I am too stressed/worn out to cook. Solution - cook ahead and freeze some easy meals.
Second - back to 2% milk for me and the girls.
Third - Find snacks that are under 30% fat so I have healthy alternatives when I go to raid the kitchen.
Fourth - Cut down to 1 pop a day. That means drinking more water.
Fifth - how to deal with pizza Fridays - add a salad or talk the hubby into spaghetti instead
Sixth - find time for exercise (oh, and desire/motivation)
That's my starter plan. I am also reading a few books to get motivated and educated. =)
oh and don't forget whole grain bread. yum
