Healthy Kitchen Takeover…Part 4!

posted by: The Queen of Brussels Sprouts

One of the keys to healthy eating is portion control, especially with meats and carbs. Honestly, we can’t give up either around here, so we have figured out a way to help ourselves eat less.

The tip for today: Simply offer more side dishes! I mean it. If you serve steak, that is fine. But, each person does not need and entire NY strip to themselves. Cut each one in half. Then, offer more than just russet potatoes as the side.

Try steamed green beans, corn, and sweet potatoes as well as steak. Mix it up with some pearled barley or even brown rice. Or, maybe some roasted veggies straight off of the grill (a fav around here). Even if you only eat a small portion of each side dish, you are still filling up the belly. Go ahead and enjoy some steak, just watch how much you eat, and don’t forget the veggies too!
