Beat Food Boredom with 0 Point Foods
by Ida · 0 comments
This week’s meeting topic focused on beating boredom in your eating plan. When you’re counting points, it is so tempting to have the same meals over and over again because you already know
exactly how many points they are. Of course, that makes you bored and far less likely to stay on plan. After all, who really wants to eat the same food 4 times a week, just because you don’t have to worry about screwing up? Certainly not me!
Let’s beat our food boredom by being adventurous in our meals! This week’s challenge was to try 10 new foods. So, I did a little digging and compiled these 0 Point Foods and Spices to help kick us off.
