Detoxing From Junk Food 

It’s hard to quit eating junk food cold turkey. It’s often because we’re used to relying on junk food to help get us through our day, especially as moms. The thought without it is terrifying. As you detox off the sugar, you may feel tired and prone to headaches in the beginning which does suck. After a week or so, you’ll notice a complete change. You’ll find that you have more energy, you sleep better, and you no longer need to rely on a sugary snack to give you a pick-me-up. You will also find that there are so many other things you can munch on instead. If you have to have sugar, opt for a piece of fruit which has natural sugars. Granola bars made with oats and dates are also a great alternative to a sugary candy bar. Making healthier choices also teaches children to eat healthier. 

Switching to Low Carb 

If you’re looking to lose weight and just feel better in general, opt for a low carb diet. When our body takes in carbohydrates, it helps us to feel sluggish and tired. Carbohydrates, especially the amount that most people consume, are not needed for energy like we have long thought. By cutting down our carb intake, we can feel better and have more energy by switching up the energy form that our body runs off of. It can be overwhelming to start a low carb diet, especially for busy moms. That’s weekly dinner staples often include hamburgers, pizza. Having low carb meals delivered is a great way to see how easy and delicious it is to eat healthier for the whole family.

Meal Prep is Key for Healthier Choices 

It can be hard to find a spare minute but it's not impossible. In order to live a low carb lifestyle and make healthier choices in general, you'll need to meal prep and plan. This doesn't have to be anything spectacular. Start by throwing a few chicken breasts in the crockpot to turn into easy meals for the week. Next, the prep sheet pans full of veggies to compliment each meal. Finally, put snacks in little baggies that you and your kids can take with. These include things like raw veggies, low carb cheese chips, pickles, and black olives. Having a quick snack to munch on keeps us from overindulging in food that's bad for us. 

Conclusion: Don’t Beat Yourself Up 

If you slip up during your quest for healthier choices, don’t beat yourself up. Moms are so hard on themselves when it comes to trying to get the whole family to eat healthier. Start with small steps like adding more fruit and veggies to every meal. Eventually, work your way up to leaner meats, less dairy, and no sugar.
