What I've found works for me is to have prepped ingredients handy, and not buy junk food (snacks, sodas, cookies, etc.) in the first place. When the easiest meal available is a salad because it takes two minutes to put all the precut ingredients (lettuce, cucumber, bell pepper, tomatoes, onions, olives, feta cheese) in a large bowl, toss it with lemon juice, olive oil, and put a bit of salt and pepper on top, then it's pretty easy to eat more of it. For example, in my fridge right now, I have containers with cut bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, feta cheese, mushrooms, cucumbers, carrots, and a tub of spring mix. With that already prepped, a lot of weekday meals are easy to make. Toss some onion, mushrooms, bell peppers and some tomato sauce into a pan for a delicious pasta sauce. Or some onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, and some eggs to make an omelette. Or cucumbers, tomatoes, feta, olives, and red onions for a Greek salad. |
