If you know me at all, you know that I'm ADDICTED to sugar! I have been for as long as I can remember. I feel completely out of control around it. I battle with it EVERY day.
I had Gestational diabetes while pregnant with Priscilla which makes me far more likely to develop Type 2. The diabetic diet during my pregnancy limited carbohydrates and pretty much eliminated sugar. And I lost weight while on it - even while pregnant! So lately, I've been trying The Belly Fat Cure
(by Jorge Cruise) which is very similar to my previous diabetic diet. When I stay on track, I lose. I mean, like 3 to 5 pounds per week! It's staying on track that's the hard part...

But I've noticed that if I put the healthier (lower carb in my case) foods in view and accessible, that's what I will eat. So I've taken inspiration from my little one's Muffin Tin Meals and started making myself Muffin Tin Snacks! I usually fill my muffin tin with sunflower seeds, macadamia nuts, cinnamon roasted almonds, turkey pepperoni, bell peppers, and cheddar cheese. And I love it!!!
Happy to be linking to Muffin Tin Monday.
Do you struggle with eating healthy? What do you do for your own health?
that is a great idea! moms should have their own healthy snack tins! great meal plan, I feel inspired! :)
ReplyDeleteOh man, thanks for sharing this! This is a fantastic idea. I am so addicted to sweets....this will give me some other options to think about.

great idea, and looks so cute too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I am currently using SparkPeople.com in an effort to watch my food intake and lose weight. But, I find that I almost always fall short on protein. I really should make myself a little protein snack tin to nosh on. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of snack I need to make in the afternoon. What great foods!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I'm a sugar junkie too and just recently (a weeks ago) decided it was time to give up soda. I really need to cut back on carbs in other areas though - I'm a bread junkie as well.
ReplyDeletefabulous. it looks so delicious. And you had me at Cinnamon roasted almonds.
ReplyDeleteGREAT IDEA! i was just wondering how i could make my own muffin tin meals or snacks since my boy likes them so much! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic idea. Thank you for inspiring me. It is such a struggle for me too.
