Hi all,
I hope you are doing wonderfully well. I don’t know about you but, I’m constantly on the go. Since I’m a foodie, I like to come up with new ideas on what to eat while I’m out. I get tones of questions about healthy eating on the go but the ultimate question is: To indulge or not to indulge? What not to eat? Which foods to eat to get going and keep on track with a healthy regimen? And how much is too much are questions that usually follow.
My take on this is one word: Moderation. Food is meant to be enjoyed and shared with loved ones. But more importantly, it is meant to nourish our bodies and promote health and homeostasis. Once I have this understanding, I am able to test new recipes, taste and degust a variety of foods. The idea is to have a balanced meal of nutrient dense foods every time you have. This means having adequate amounts of carbohydrates, protein and fat with every meal. A good vegetable soup could be a great way to open your meal (especially during cold seasons) as it creates the foundation against the tendency to over consume larger quantities of food.

ReplyDeleteI aways stay away from butternut squash. I still don't know how to peel it. This recipe is inspiring me.
ReplyDeleteGotta love a great soup recipe x x
I know! Peeling the squash is a pain!! I might be wrong but think some grocery stores sell peeled and diced squash. Try that and let me know how it goes xoxo!
