While at my sister’s house in New York City we discussed this blog. I enjoyed hearing feedback from my sister and brother-in-law, and my favorite comment was that so many of the ideas on this blog are, “DUH!” My sister Janelle even suggested I change the title to Duh.com. So much of healthy eating is very easy but so many people don’t do it! Putting grapes in a bowl at the front of the fridge is not rocket science but it sure gets you and your family to eat more grapes. Buying healthy foods instead of junk foods is not brain surgery but it sure helps you eat healthier when you’re at home.
Janelle has a friend who laughed that she was buying rolos and spray cheese for my visit when I’m a dietitian. Janelle pointed out what I have mentioned many times on this blog: just because I’m a dietitian doesn’t mean I eat perfectly. I think I mentioned my love for rolos already, and I look forward to the fact that when I go to New York City for my nephew Huck’s birthday, I’m going to share some rolos with my little buddy. We also enjoy a little craziness with the spray cheese. Rolos and spray cheese are not foods that my sister buys on a regular basis, but Huck and I look forward to some shenanigans with spray cheese each March. Heck we didn’t even finish the whole bottle last week.
Eating healthy is not complicated. You do not have to mix the perfect amount of protein with carbohydrate at the exact time of day. You do not have to spend hundreds of dollars at the health food section of the grocery store. You need to fuel yourself with healthy foods throughout the day and surround yourself with good choices. DUH!
