We find a lot of patients losing weight who make different meals for their families than they do for themselves. We hear this most often from mothers and caretakers: “You know, I have to cook something different for my children”. Though you do have to avoid carbohydrates during the weight loss phase, other than the recommended allotment of fruits and vegetables, there are ways to ensure that both you and your family can enjoy most of the main components of each meal.
Here Are A Few To Cook for Your Family When Losing Weight & Staying Health
- Don’t isolate yourself or waste time by making a separate meal.
- Sit down and have a meal that everyone can enjoy together.
- Use this as an opportunity to make positive changes for everyone in your family, AND save time!
- Clean out your pantry and toss the boxed macaroni and cheese.
- Do something different from the kid-friendly food choices like breaded chicken nuggets and bite-size pasta.
- Open the fridge instead, and reach for a fresh and seasonal vegetable to compliment a delicious lean protein that is good for everyone.
- Include your family in the meal-making process and have everyone help out!
- Discuss your goals with them for their continued support.
