But in real life it's easy to create great tasting meals using simple recipes that can be handled on any time schedule. And you won't need any fancy kitchen gadgets either. Who said eating healthy has to be tough! Here's what you need to know: the best way to make great-tasting meals quickly is to keep the recipes as simple as possible. If you use only a few ingredients, it is always quick and easy to prepare the meal. And if you choose the right ingredients, it will taste great even though the recipe is very simple. An easy way to manage this is to simply mix and match foods from the categories below. Take 1 food from each of the 4 categories and toss them together in a pan... and use virgin coconut oil as your cooking oil. Then, add some of the healthy herbal seasonings mentioned in the next section. And rotate which combination you use each time to keep things interesting. There are more foods you could eat. But this shorter list of foods covers those that taste great in just about any combination. So you'll be able to create great-tasting meals more easily.

3 quinoa, lentils, beans, legumes Category 4: Vegetables asparagus, bell peppers, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, cucumber, eggplant, lettuce, mushroom, onions, tomatoes Some example combinations are... An omelet with vegetables, avocado, and meat sprinkled in. A smoked salmon plate with tomatoes, lemon juice and olives A lettuce wrap filled with grilled beef strips and avocado Step #2: Make liberal use of healthy, delicious herbal seasonings There are many herbal seasonings that can lower inflammation in the body, improve your health and make it easier to lose stubborn belly fat. The most important of these is turmeric. Turmeric is a seasoning common in Indian food that has a number of medicinal properties. And helps to heal a wide range of different problems that lead to stubborn belly fat. Making it one of your single most powerful weapons for losing weight. Turmeric is even more powerful if you eat it with coconut oil and black pepper. Because these two foods help your body use the turmeric. Try eating 1 teaspoon of turmeric, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper with at least one meal per day... to make a delicious curry that helps battle belly fat. But keep in mind: turmeric is heat-sensitive and light-sensitive. So be sure to let your food cool a bit after cooking it... before you add the turmeric. And try to keep the container of turmeric hidden in a dark cupboard until you use it. And buy it in a dark container at the store. If the store has had it on the shelf in a clear container, it won't work as well. Other seasonings and spices worthy of mention for losing belly fat are oregano, basil, rosemary, marjoram, lavender, black pepper, dill, garlic, ginger, himalayan salt, and horse radish. The three most important ones for removing stubborn belly fat (after turmeric) being rosemary and ginger.

It helps your digestion, keeps your blood sugar low so you get less cravings, and improves the flavor of many different food combinations. Step #3: Additional food prep strategies for minimizing your time commitment and making it easier to stick to the program on even the most hectic schedule Food Prep Tip #1: Don't Assume You'll Cook many women who aren't used to cooking their meals from scratch make the mistake of thinking they'll cook. But any time you try to change too many habits at once, you get overwhelmed. And find yourself giving up. So you're better off focusing on just a few small changes at a time. So at first focus on just getting used to the new way of eating. And take as many cooking short cuts as it takes to stick to the program. For example, you can buy bags of frozen vegetables instead of fresh produce. You can also buy canned beans and legumes instead of cooking them from scratch. Or you can buy other foods pre-cooked, pre-washed and ready to be eaten right away as well. These food options may not be as ideal as cooking from scratch, but they make it easier to get started because you can just open them and pour it in a pan. And if it's easier to get started, you are more likely to stick with the program. And you can always upgrade to cooking from scratch later when you feel ready for it. But still stick to whole foods. Even if they are bagged or canned. Because processed foods will make it almost impossible to lose belly fat. Food Prep Tip #2: Eat Lunch and Dinner for Breakfast traditional breakfast foods tend to be full of questionable compounds (such as gluten) that make it difficult or impossible to lose belly fat. So one of the simplest-yet-most-impactful changes you can make to jump start your quest for finally losing stubborn belly fat is to swap out the traditional breakfast foods for lunch and dinner foods instead. Food Prep Tip #3: Keep the Right Foods in the House if you're hungry and the only thing in the house is junk food... you'll struggle to make it to the store for something better. So you're better off shopping on a regular schedule... and making

5 sure you always have healthy foods available. Food Prep Tip #4: Keep the Junk Foods Out of the House the easier it is to eat the wrong foods, the more likely you are to do it. So the best policy is to simply not even allow them in the house. Food Prep Tip #5: Prepare Food in Bulk on the Weekends if you don't have healthy foods within easy reach, you're much more likely to fall off the wagon when hunger strikes. So once you are ready to cook from scratch... it's helpful to schedule one day per week to prepare foods in advance for the rest of the week. It will usually only take a couple hours at most... and will save you far more time throughout the week... while making it easier to stick with your diet. Then when it's time to cook a meal all you have to do is toss a handful of each ingredient into the pan and come back 15 minutes later. Food Prep Tip #6: Pre-cook Meats for the Week cooking meats is often timeconsuming. But if you pre-cook them once a week, all it will take the rest of the time is tossing it in the pan to re-heat it. So it will take 5 minutes instead of 30 minutes. Simply pre-cook your meats once a week. Then cut it into strips. And separate it into small ziplock bags in the freezer. So you can easily grab a small amount the next time you go to cook a meal. Food Prep Tip #7: Pre-cook Carbs For The Week it can take 30 minutes or more to cook foods such as beans, legumes and quinoa. So it's helpful to simply cook a large batch once per week. Then just toss a bit in the pan and re-heat it as needed. So you can quickly make a delicious-tasting meal... even when you are short on time. Food Prep Tip #8: Pre-wash Vegetables you can save yourself a lot of time during the week, by preparing your vegetables on the weekend. Simply pre-wash and chop enough to last you the whole week. And store them in ziplock bags for easy use. So during the week when you are busy and short on time you can still prepare delicious-tasting meals quickly.
