HEALTHY MEAL IDEAS FOR WEIGHTLOSS TO TRY

Healthy meal Ideas for weightloss or just for being healthy you must try today. The struggle is real when looking for good and healthy MEALS to eat, whether for just a more healthy body or for loosing a bit if weight. I went on a 7 day vegan Challenge a couple of weeks ago and, I promised my INSTAGRAM FOLLOWERS id do a post about it so,  here it goes. Below are a few meals that I and a couple of my friends ate that week and some that I created a week before preparing for the Challenge.

I did something a little wrong during this vegan week, I added lots of refined carbohydrates. After the challenge I realized you can substitute almost any  refined carbohydrate with  a vegetable like cauliflower, cabbage, garden cress, bok choy, broccoli, brussels sprouts and any green leafy vegetable which gives you the same amount of energy, has fewer calories but fills you up well.

People do tend to make sweeteners out to be bad for you but sweeteners are very important in terms of replacing sugar.  I hope you find this as interesting as I  did creating these delicious, oh wait, #belicious meals 🙂 You think they look good? wait till you taste them. #Wink
