Food For Thought

So this past week I stuck to my Beauty and Beast cuisine meals and I can honestly say I feel a difference. I’m not going to lie, when I first saw the size of the portions, I was like really? This is all I’m getting? But to my pleasant surprise, these meals are actually the perfect portion and hit my hungry spot. I had mentioned in my last blog post that ordering from a meal prep service can be pricey over time, but using it as a guidance tool for eating healthy can be beneficial to someone who is new to clean eating. While I’m not quite sure if I’ll order another months worth of meals, just this week alone has taught me the importance of portion control. Majority of fast food chains serve these ginormous portions that could feed a feast of five for just one person and it’s become the norm here in America. And if you’re anything like me, I practically lick my plate at the end of every meal; no matter how full I am. So it’s a definite hats off from me to BBC for making an effort to teach the RGV how to eat healthier. On another note, I think I’m in love with juicing. When I first got my juicer, I hardly used it. But now I try to use it at least every other day. The benefits for me have most definitely been an increase in the amount of energy I have throughout the day. Juicing detoxifies your system and helps with the appearance of your skin as well. I try to juice fruits and veggies that are enriched with vitamin C such as apples, bell peppers, cantaloupe, strawberries and more. I’ve also felt a change in my mood; which I’m sure is tied to the fact that it decreases my fatigue. If you haven’t tried juicing, I highly recommend it! The benefits you get from extracting fruits and veggies are wonderful. I will continue with updates on my second week with Beauty and Beast Cuisine.
