Okay, so let's just say that I have a slow metabolism and an undiagnosed hypothyroid problem---is that the reason that I've been practically eating like a bird (still drinking like a fish however) and have NOT...I'll repeat....NOT lost any weight. I've been exercising too, people...like at the hellish hour of 6:00am. Yikes!
What does a bird eat you say? Home cooked meals from Eating Well Serves Two and Rick Bayless's Everyday Mexican
Eating Well Serves Two is great because it gives me portion control. Recipes are well laid out, healthy, and most can be cooked in 30 min. or less. Healthy in a hurry!
Everyday Mexican works because it too is uncomplicated unlike other Bayless cookbooks. It has potatoes, epazote (I know that's a link to Wikipedia and yes I am librarian), and chipotle in most recipes. Lucky for me, I can usually find fresh epazote--and with my midnight drunk Internet shopper buying fan-cey chipotles from cooks.com. I've got the makings of healthy Mexican on hand. These dishes are full of flavor and have many clean layers of Mexican goodness.
But one cannot be expected to slave in the kitchen every night and eat leftovers for lunch everyday. Check out health.com's America's Healthiest Restaurants for a glimpse at some healthy chain and fast food places. For me it doesn't get much healthier than some Vietnamese take out.
