Healthy Eating For Moms
One of the problems many mothers have after they have started a family is
keeping their weight down where they'd like it to be. Part of your changing
physical build is due to having children, something that can't be taken back
once they're born. But you can exercise and tone your muscles, to make the most
of the figure that you have. And part of that, is learning to eat healthy in the
face of your various time commitments.
Lots of women feel guilty if they throw out leftovers, which can be an
attitude inherited from their own budget-conscious mother. But you're not saving
anything except space in the compost pail, if you're eating that last scoop of
potatoes, or the vegetables off a toddler's plate, simply so they don't go to
waste.
Don't sabotage your own diet, by cooking in too large a quantity for what
your family will consume in a meal. If by chance you're actually a bit short and
someone is still hungry, make sure you keep extras on hand that will fill the
gap, like garlic bread to go with spaghetti, veggies and dip, or a bowl of
fruit.
Try to balance your preferences, with what is cooked for the family
meals. That means if you eat as individuals for breakfast and lunch, make sure
you get a good variety of fruits, vegetables and grains. Try yogurt and fruit
with granola for breakfast, or a tossed salad in a fajita wrap for lunch.
Remember to balance your intake of one food group with the others, and select
good sources of protein.
