Is your healthy eating plan really a diet? Most of today’s diets look like healthy recipes touting the benefits of eating wholesome foods, but they also carry with it a bunch of ridiculous (and restrictive) rules. I’m looking at you, “no beans allowed” Paleo lovers.
In this episode, I chat with award winning chef, dietitian, and mom Ellie Krieger. She shares how she has been burned by gimmicky weight loss diets from her modeling days and why it’s so important to her to sit down as a family and enjoy a delicious meal together.
Ellie shares some fabulous tips for getting food on the table without overthinking it and she helps you understand why a little butter and salt can be a good thing.
