Our schedules are so crazy, and eating healthy is not always at the top of the priority
list. We tend to let the healthy aspect slide a little, along with our quality of food.
So our good intentions tend to slip through the cracks, along with our health. It can get
away from us one bite at a time. By the same token, we can improve our quality of health
one bite at a time!
With this book, it’s actually enjoyable to stick to a healthy, low-calorie meal plan. Just
because you’re trying to lose weight or watch your calorie intake, it doesn’t mean you have
to sacrifice flavor, taste, variety, or the simple pleasures food can bring. Remember “snack
time†growing up? It not only helped refuel us between meals but also was fun! But what
we didn’t realize was that it was also portion controlled—a couple of graham crackers
and milk, an apple, or a handful of nuts, for example. And so it is with this book: grab a
fast-fix snack in the middle of the morning and then again in the afternoon, just like
you used to do. It’s a fun and easy way to stay on track, as is the entire book.
