Great Recipes & Eating Real Food
The phrase “healthy eating,” often conjures up images of dry, bland, and lifeless foods. It’s no wonder, then, that so many people fail on their journey to health because let’s face it, can you imagine eating dry tuna, plain rice, and boring broccoli day after day? You’d maybe succeed eating this way for about three days before you threw up your hands and said, “Forget this!”
Here at IEM, we know that healthy eating doesn’t have to mean boring and tasteless. We realize that eating is an experience and that in order for a person to feel satisfied, a combination of flavors, textures, colors, and moistures is necessary at each meal. When a client can consistently satisfy his palate along with his hunger, he is more likely to stay consistent with his eating habits and this will ultimately lead to adherence and consequently, success!
