Get the Real "Skinny" on Healthy Weight Loss: Meal Planner, Recipes, and Shopping Guide is the second book in a series providing information on how to eat right, how to modify one's lifestyle by choosing healthier alternatives in one's dietary consumption, and how many factors can sabotage one's weight loss or weight gain goals. This release builds upon the information provided in the first book, Get the Real "Skinny" on Healthy Weight Loss: Commit to a Lifestyle Modification and Get Results which details the importance of regular exercise or lack thereof; ingredients we eat and or choose to use when cooking often disguised as healthy when they may be toxic; preservatives and how they affect digestion and processing the foods we eat; by refocusing on how we should change our way of thinking when it comes to understanding portion control and suggested serving sizes, and of course preparing foods that are healthy using wholesome ingredients vs. the unhealthy alternatives found in foods that are processed or served in restaurants. This book includes how to focus on planning meals for your family considering your family's weekly schedule, time restraints that may be impacted resulting in providing your family meals which are pre-packaged meals containing excessive numbers of unhealthy additives, preservatives, calories, and things everybody should be more aware of when feeding their family. It helps to identify methods of planning meals, provides recipes including all natural and whole foods, focusing on the overall health and wellness of one's family, and let's not forget about a shopping guide so that consumers can insure they have what they'll need to prepare a meal without discovering an ingredient is missing and therefore we'll just eat this or go somewhere else to grab a meal. I know this guide will be helpful to those who want to make a lifelong change beginning in 2018 that will become a part of life for you and your family for years to come. An excellent resource for busy moms and dads who want to provide the best for their families.
