Most people know I carry my lunch bag everywhere. I believe that if I am to fuel my body properly I need to eat frequently and have clean nutritious foods at my disposal. I eat 6 meals a day, fueling my body every 2-3 hours depending on my hunger levels. Just as a mechanic needs his/her toolbox to get the job done, I need healthy foods that I carry in my lunch bag.
Preparing meals and snacks in advance is the key to weight loss, weight maintenance, and weight gain. I takes all the guesswork out of eating, you will never have to think about what foods you should eat. You will not be tempted to eat foods low in nutritional value. Often times we make irrational decisions about food because we are just so darn hungry. We look for the quick fix, whether its the dive-through or a vending machine. However, by preparing meals in advance you will make smarter healthier food choices.
Most people say they don’t have time to eat or they don’t have time to eat healthy. However, eating clean and preparing meals in advance takes care of this issue. Because you will be preparing meals in advance (I do it the night before) the cooking process only happens once. This is beneficial for a number of reasons. You can make rational food choices, food is prepared for the entire next day, you wont have to rush in the morning making lunches, you only have to do dishes once, and you will never find yourself overly hungry.
If I could make one recommendation to anyones diet it would be to prepare meals in advance. It is the most logical strategy for eating clean. If you do not have a cooler bag I would highly suggest investing. I would also recommend buying some quality Tupperware and freezer packs to keep all of your foods fresh and cold. This investment will be better than any stock options or RRSP. It will be a direct tool that invests and improves your health.
Remember, Success is Preparation!
