Many people mistakenly think that eating healthily and for weight loss means that your meals must be bland and boring. In fact, it’s eating boring food that puts many people off their diet. I think that food should be one of life’s pleasures – even if you are trying to lose weight – and your meals should be something you look forward to rather than dread.
This recipe is tasty, healthy, and very easy to make which, in my opinion, makes it perfect for weight loss purposes.
The next time you find yourself dreading yet another boring weight loss meal, take this recipe out for a spin; it’s awesome!
