Simple Eating Changes with Huge Rewards

At  a Doctor’s visit earlier this year my wife I am were told by our family doctor that he would like to see our children lose a few pounds as they were carrying some extra weight. He had suggested better portion control in the meals they were eating.

After returning home my wife and were discussing our “plan of attack” to help our children lose the extra pounds they were carrying. We also admitted to ourselves that the two of us were carrying some extra weight. We immediately realized that portion control was not the answer and concluded that it was time for a lifestyle change for the whole family. 

We were in agreement that the foods we were consuming on a daily basis were not the best for all of us. We were living a life style that led us as adults to be obese, and our children were on that path.  Our biggest fear in making a dietary change was that our diet would consist of foods that were tasteless and un-enjoyable to consume.

We are happy to report that we were wrong. Eating healthy has been a pleasant change for our family. We have cut out carbonated beverages, Iced Tea, and carbohydrates. We have started drinking water primarily and also milk. Meals and snacks consist of fresh fruits, vegetables and meats. We have found the natural tastes of the foods we are eating now are more appealing then the way we were eating. We found lots of great meal and snack suggestions and recipes in the internal bliss cook book.

My family has been working on this diet strategy for three weeks and has been amazed on how easy it was to make the lifestyle change. I can report that in three weeks our family has lost a total of 29 pounds, we are eating healthier, and feel more energetic.  I can’t encourage anyone enough to make a lifestyle change as we did because it truly is easy to do and the rewards for a healthier life come easier than anyone could think.
