I recently stumbled across a new diet plan in Health Magazine that sounded right up my alley. It's called "The Carb-lovers Diet." My first thought was yeah right. Then... I was intrigued. I have always loved carbs. I would be completely happy if all I had to eat for the rest of my life was bread or grain products (ok, maybe throw a little cheese in there too). So this diet seemed like a great idea for me. The cool thing about it is that it's not a fad diet, or something that is hard to maintain. It doesn't let you eat all the carbs you want, or anything unrealistic like that. Instead, it give you recipes to make that include the GOOD carbs your body needs and are really satisfying. It teaches you how to get rid of the bad carbs, and use them to your advantage to lose weight and get healthy. That, and it also integrates tons of good ways to eat fruits and vegetables for a person like me who can't stand them. Click here for a link to the website.
I haven't bought the book yet, so I am using recipe ideas from the website. I did all of my grocery shopping this week according to the Carb lovers plan. Let me just say, so far so good! We had some delicious whole grain pasta with olive oil, chicken, onion, and garlic last night. I even got to sprinkle it with parmesan cheese!
Some other meals this week include:
Chicken breast and garlic potatoes
Sirloin salad with homemade bleu cheese dressing and sweet potato fries
Bistro Steak and potatoes
My kind of diet! Yum, yum, yum!
Love this!
