Meal planning is an amazing tool. It lets you make lifestyle changes easily in a few short steps. You can use it to...
* save money on groceries
* eat more fresh fruits and vegetables
* try exciting recipes and new cuisines
* lose or gain weight in a way that is healthy for you
* eat healthier fats and carbohydrates, ones that power up your metabolism and lower your cholesterol while satisfying your appetite
* shop much faster, saving time in the grocery store that you can spend having fun with your friends and family
* shop less often, optimizing your grocery list so that you can buy everything at once - and save money on gas, too!
But it's not always easy to learn how to plan your meals to reach those goals - or to get around to actually doing it! Each of those goals takes different steps, from accurately gauging how much the ingredients for each recipe will cost to figuring out which store, and which aisle, they will be in. A lot of them require some balanced information about nutrition, which means weeding out all of the outdated and misinformed books and articles you come across to get to the real truth about fat, or sugar, or raw versus cooked foods.
"Butter Yourself Up" teaches you how to make conscious choices around food, a little bit at a time. You'll learn not only how to plan your meals around your own schedule, and use meal planning to meet your own personal goals, but so much more too. Including:
* Six simple ways to immediately cut food costs - without depriving yourself! (And how to determine the best size for your food budget in the first place!) (Page 10)
* How to create a spending plan for all your expenses, and where to get FREE support around all those pesky money problems (page 13)
* Seven incredibly simple tips to keep blood sugar steady, from when to eat meals to how much protein we all need (page 17)
* Why Barbie isn't to blame for all of our eating disorders; what is really at the roots and where to go for all the free solutions you could want (pages 19-22)
* The exciting truth about which fat increases metabolism, boosts the immune system, and powers up the digestive system (page 23)
* Three activities and six foods to avoid, and a delightful dozen to indulge in, for an ultra-long life! (page 26-28)
* Crack the code of your cravings: what they really mean and how you can easily end them (page 28-29)
* The facts about confusing labels like natural, cage-free, and organic! (And which ones are a surprising waste of your money!) (pages 33-36)
The heart of the book consists of 52 two-page spreads, one for each week of the year. On the left-hand side is a step-by-step guide to choosing the perfect meals for you that week, for any size of budget. On the right is a week-long calendar with generously-sized spaces for anything you want to remember. Plus, the spaces for the dates are conveniently left blank - so you can start using it at any time of the year
