I would like to point out that he does not find himself fat - he just wishes to be healthy. As you can see in this picture, he is not fat.However, this ceased to bug me as I now use the "I'm Pregnant" excuse that I use for virtually anything. Now, it bugs me for a new reason... Who am I going to cook sweets and fattening meals for? Those are my 2 favorite things to cook!!! I can't very well cook them and eat them myself or cook them and make him feel guilty for not eating it...
So, I am branching out. It is time for me to make more healthy meals. (don't get me wrong ... I don't feed him grease all the time - just about once a week I really cook something in butter or oil) I intend to swap canola oil for olive oil. (that's my first step...aren't you proud?)
Since most of the meals I make are fairly healthy - we love salads - what I am really searching for is sweets that are healthy... I know, do they even exist??? I feel that it is worth the search.
If you know of any healthy food substitutes, or sweets that are "healthy" I would LOVE the feedback!
Fruits. Start looking up fruits that you like: pomegranate (which is NOT spelled "palmagrannette"), strawberries, pears, etc...
ReplyDeleteBuy Splenda instead of regular sugar. You still have to count the carbs when you're putting a lot in something (e.g. cookies), but a tsp or two on fruit would be practically nothing.
Yogurt (I suggest Activia plain low-fat/no-fat yogurt) is also a good one. I LOVE Activia with frozen raspberries. The yogurt freezes to the raspberries and makes this awesome little treat.
I also really like pineapple and low-fat cottage cheese. It doesn't exactly solve sugar cravings, but it's a good high-protein snack.
I just found a site that you might like. I like it's suggestions.
