In the past, my wife suffered from excess weight, the pregnancy and stress of relocating were for something.
She tried every diet possible and couldn’t get the excess weight from her body.
To tell you the truth, she was the only one complaining about this situation, I liked her excess weight a little and loved to see her fit wear her tight jeans like she used to when we first got married :)
However, she was determined to lose that weight and to become “skinny” again.
I was determined to help her with this.
These are the changes we’ve made to our kitchen and to our eating habits:
The first thing was that we got rid of most processed meats;
The salami, the chicken nuggets, the fish rolls, the beacon. . .
We throw everything away.
I’ve read from this website: http://nutritionfacts.org/ , more precisely, this webpage http://nutritionfacts.org/video/hot-dogs-leukemia/ , that these products were not only bad for your weight, but they were also terrible on your arteries and can even provoke a cancer.
I’ve stopped buying them once and for all.
If my wife wanted to make a sandwich, she’d now use olive oil instead of butter and a tomato slice to replace the salami, and no cheese.
The second thing we did in our kitchen is to replace the sugars.
We had maple syrup, normal sugar, brown sugar. . . . we’ve had too many sugars in my opinion.
So, we throw everything and replaced them with date sugar.
It is not as tasty as normal old sugar, but it’s very healthy and soon, my wife was drinking her coffee without added sugar.
The third thing we did in our kitchen was to buy a bread machine.
At first, we bought most of our bread.
This made us choose cheap and unhealthy breads, but with the bread making machine, we were now able to make our own.
We started buying whole wheat flour and making our own bread.
This was a great experience and we not only were able to get rid of my wife’s excess weight, but mine too.
This experience bounded us even more and we could find some things to talk about in the evening beside the usual subject: “what do we have for dinner?”
