  I try to eat a plant based diet.

  Whole grains, tofu, beans, lentils, fish, chicken and lots of veggies incorporated into soups and main courses. I use very little processed food. Participating in a CSA has broadened my horizons by introducing less common healthy produce.

  Less butter cream sugar. Smaller meat servings. More fish, less beef. Veggies, veggies, veggies. Salad. That's a hard one for me as I hate making salads…..😏 Many fewer carbs. Very little bread, potatoes, rice, pasta. Very few temptations in the house. We have lost weight and are back on track after the holidays. Oh, and very little alcohol intake. I find it deadly….but so lovely with a nice meal. . 😏

  About once a year, I track what I eat for a few weeks on MyFitnessPal. It's really an eye opener to see how healthy/unhealthy I'm eating and whether the portions I'm eating are too big. The results translate to how I cook and eat for the rest of the year.

  Sign me up; I would even eat grass! Okay, I did once as a child because I thought if I did then that is like a cow eating it and they make milk so I would too. Then the nuns wouldn't make me drink milk at lunch.lol I never have liked milk. But I do love my veggies. I am a Pescatarian who rarely eats fish. I would love to eat a totally plant based diet or a healthy Pescatarian diet.

  We have been constantly pushing our food to be healthier, from making my own seasoning blends to even my own bone broths. Love the way that eating well makes me and my family feel great.

• Sfgordon  on  February 1, 2017

  I have been tracking calories recently, and I have become very aware of portion size! I would usually eyeball a cup of this or a tablespoon of that to add to my cooking but wow, I must have been so inaccurate…It's a pain to dirty all those measuring cups and spoons and actually measure stuff out, but those extra cals add up. No wonder I've been gaining weight 😡

• Canderan  on  February 4, 2017

  I plan my meals the day before and log them in a fitness app so I can make sure I have a good balance of macronutrients and not too many calories.
