Nina's super healthy eats!

Hi there loves so today I want to talk about eating healthy! I know that a lot of us struggle with this I know I do like everyday but I have found it helpful to make lists and meal plans which is the easy part the hard part is to actually stick with it. 

Now eating healthy is not be confused with eating clean. These are two separate things. How you ask, well let me give you some information. Clean eating is cutting out everything in your diet that is processed and that has refined unnatural sugars inside. Eating healthy means that you stick to a caloric diet and cut down on the amount of refined sugars in your diet and also add new and healthy foods to your meals. So another way of thinking is that clean eating is organic and healthy eating is McDonald's just once a week lol. I have tried both and I do prefer clean eating but you must first learn how to eat healthy. It will make the transition much easier for you and your body than just cutting out all of the sugars all at once. 

One place I love to shop at is Costco! It is a dream when you want to start eating more healthy. (Oh before I forget one tip is to stop using all canned foods as much as possible no more canned pasta or veggies however tuna is okay still but you should look into leaner and less sodium options such as the pouches) some of my favorite products to get at Costco since we eat so much of them are eggs! They have a few different varieties of them too.(we usually get the 3 dozen eggs packs) another product is veggies I use a lot of them in our meals so I like to buy the basics there and go to Kroger for the others when I need them. 

My most common buys are mushrooms,spinach, and tomatoes. I use these so much that all that I buy is gone in like two weeks! Sometimes I might get their premade salad mix if I am feeling super veggie that week. Now Costco has some of the best meat variety I have seen at a bulk store but sometimes when you go to a bulk store it's almost never the quality that Costco has. They always have pretty and fresh meat you can actually watch them package it. One of the best meats that I get there is the 90/10 ground bison it's a little under three pounds for around $18 which I know some of you are like whattttttt ground beef for $18 are you crazy well let me explain lol it's bison which is leaner and also more healthy for you than regular ground beef it's also organic. 

Another meat product that I get there are Kirkland brand turkey burgers they have 200 calories in one party and they are low in fat and sodium I like to thaw them out and then put them in eggs or pasta. 

 So I kinda want to recap on what it means once more to eat healthy and to eat clean, so healthy is limiting the amount of processed foods and unnatural sugars okay so just cutting back on your daily diet you can still go out to eat and eat some potatoe chips or whatever you want just in smaller amounts or less frequently. Now clean eating is cutting out all fast foods and processed foods and sugars and eat more organic fresh foods. So let me know about your food goals maybe we can help each other out! I will be posting food recipes and ingredients to go with it so keep an eye out for them!! 

Love you all
