There are ways to make sure you will do the things that are good for you so you don't feel deprived.
1. Keep water in the ice box. Keep lemons and/or limes washed in a zip lock bag, and put a thin slice of each in your water. Festive.
2. Keep prepared finger-food sized pieces of raw vegies in zip-lock baggies. Use the ends of the lemon or lime above to keep them fresher and colorful longer.
3. When you are absolutely dying for a sweet and special but healthy treat, take 1 washed apple, slice as for pie, and sprinkle with cinnamon. (Can add a little splenda if you need it even sweeter.) If you want it extra special, take 1 scant tablespoon p-nut butter, 1 tablespoon nonfat yogurt and a little of your sweetener of choice(optional), mix well, and dip away. Yum. Beats that corn syrup and chemical laden caramel dip all to heck, and is loaded with nutrition. |
