The biggest struggle we find with our weight comes down to food.
We were both born with a major sweet tooth and our downfall in the past has been due to over indulgence in all things sweet e.g to many ice creams, lemon meringue pies and deserts.
We know not all of us have sweet tooth's or are huge lovers of food, but reality is if you struggle with your weight you probably do not have a great attitude to food. You are either not eating the right foods, eating at the wrong time or simply over indulging. However is it worth it?
We know even though we love food we can only truly remember a handful of meals that have been worth the calories.
Now that we have a healthy attitude to food the meals we enjoy the most are made from amazing fresh produce. They are not only low in calories but also rich in nutrients. We will share some of the beautiful meals we enjoy in these blogs and hope you will share some of your recipes with us too.
Next time you have a sweet craving instead of reaching for the ice cream or block of chocolate, sit back and think what you really want? Will having a nice lite yoghurt with strawberries satisfy your craving? Or is chocolate really the only thing that will satisfy you?
If chocolate is what you really 'need' instead of fighting it allow yourself that treat, but have a piece of good quality chocolate instead of a whole block. Make your treat worth it.
We aren't saying you can never have a treat again, but ask yourself the question first "is it really worth it?
How do you deal with your cravings?
