Content: Save time on meal preparation by prepping multiple meals at once and keeping them in the freezer or refrigerator for quick and convenient meal options. Soup, vegetable lasagna and turkey meatballs freeze well, while salads and fruit stay fresh in the fridge for days. Temptation
Unhealthy temptation comes in many forms. Fast food restaurants are conveniently located and the food is cheap, making it ideal for people with busy schedules and bare-minimum paychecks. Social events and interactions often revolve around food, making it difficult to ignore the unhealthy treats your friends are enjoying. Eliminating temptation is an almost-impossible feat. Instead, develop diversions and alternatives to rely on when temptation strikes. If you tend to rely on fast food to fill your belly in the afternoon, pack a healthy to-go lunch the night before. If you always reach for ice cream when you’re feeling lonely, pop a stick of gum in your mouth and call a friend or go for a walk. Knowledge Deficit
The biggest barrier to a healthy lifestyle might boil down to one simple factor -- a knowledge deficit.
