Wholesome Food – Weight Loss Diet Solutions

I’m here! I made it all the way to Wednesday without blogging, yet I’ve had so much to share. I started Insanity again with Josh. We started last year and made it all the way to day four and then I got sick and then we never did it again.

We started Monday evening with the fitness test, which was not easy, but I was a little excited to see that my numbers in some areas were high than others. They provide you with a little 60-day calendar to check off each day that you complete a new session so it’s really satisfying to cross off each completed day.

I’m very sore, but I feel so good to exercise in the morning, it really sets the tone for the day.

So that brings me to my next topic. Food. I’ve been doing really well with tracking my food and making an effort to cook at home and eat vegetables and fruits. I spent a good chunk of the weekend and last week cooking and trying out new recipes that I hope to share this week.

I’ve been thinking a lot about “diet food” and I realized that I hate diet food, but I love health food. To me diet food is anything in a package that has a weight-loss claim (low fat! low calorie! low carb! lose 6 pounds in 2 weeks!). Diet soda, bars, shakes, cookies, crackers, margarine, cereal etc.

Today I had a salad for lunch that I would call health food, not diet food. This is food that sustains and satisfies me. It leaves me feeling emotionally and physically good. It is delicious, and doesn’t have a lot of calories. 400 to be exact.

Okay, yes it looks dressing heavy! Here is the run down of my salad:

organic/local mixed greens, local feta, organic bacon, 2 local hard boiled eggs, 1 T slices almonds, and 2 T yogurt dressing.

But it’s not just about salads, it’s about wholesome food that we make with our own hands. It doesn’t have big claims. The lettuce didn’t promise I’d lose weight on the package. Nor did the eggs, cheese, or bacon. It just is. And it’s good.

That was a lesson a learned today.

Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes are a basic, filling dish, but still extremely tasty. They can be served in lots of alternatives and even the leftovers can be used up.

Ingredients: Depending on your appetite, use about 2 medium potatoes for each person. You will also need salt and pepper to taste, a knob of butter and a little milk.

Method: Peel the potatoes, and cut them into slices. Put them in cold water until you are ready to use them. Drain off the cold water, put the pieces in a saucepan and cover them with boiling water. Bring the water back to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the potato slices are cooked. (They will be tender when tested about 5 – 10 minutes.) To test if the potatoes are cooked – use a fork. It should meet no resistance going into the potato slice. If there is resistance, or the potato tries to grip onto the fork – cook a little longer. Drain the water off the potato slices and put the pan back on the hob at the lowest temperature, just to dry the potatoes a little. Mash the potatoes (use a potato masher, or a fork) and add the salt, pepper, butter and milk. Mash until smooth. Use alongside your normal meal or even eat them by themselves.
