Crisp green salads aren’t necessarily bland rabbit food. When the vegetables are really fresh and the seasoning and dressing are done right, they are delicious. Add in shrimps, prawns, meat or tofu for protein and you have a very healthy meal.

If you are trying to lose weight, skip the mayonnaise and creamy dressings as those contain tons of hidden calories that just aren’t worth it. Instead, go for vinegar or miso based dressings for added oomph.
For carbs, boiled, baked or roasted potatoes or bread sticks would do the trick.

Utterly heavenly.
After a fairly recent health scare, I started running to lose the excess weight I'd gained with my first pregnancy. 12 years after giving birth to my first child, I finally reached a healthy weight.
I'm a foodie with a sweet tooth and a huge appetite, hence maintaining a reasonably healthy weight is a challenge. It involves a daily effort and a permanent switch to a healthy lifestyle. I'm using this blog to keep myself in check and to share my experiences with others who too struggle with weight management.
