What's For Dinner?

   You're tired and hungry and you want dinner. You go home and look at some frozen meals you bought that have been in the freezer for weeks. You look at canned vegetables and cans of tuna and wonder how that would taste. You finger fliers from pizza delivery franchises, Chinese food, and Greek take out wondering which would be in your table the quickest.

   While you are lost in thought, confused and hungry, cut up some carrots, celery, red peppers and lettuce, put some almond butter on each piece and chew away, even up to 30 chews per mouthful. While you are still deciding what to eat, you realize you are not very hungry anymore. You've filled up on this healthy snack and you are considering calling it dinner.

   Why not?

   Where's the protein? The veggies and the almond butter have protein. Enough? For this meal, yes.

   If you had mixed a tsp. of Barley Max with water and guzzled that first, you would have added some amino acids to your meal, the key part of protein that the body needs to maintain health and grow in health.

  Is it that easy? The easy answer is yes, a healthy meal can be simple and fast.

   Of course, there is more to the story, but this will do for starters. Come here for ideas on how to eat for good health.

   So where did my title come from: Don't swallow that!? First, all the good food titles were taken. Second, I got your attention. If a little voice inside your head cautions you when you are about to eat unhealthy fats, sugars, carbs, and chemicals, I will have done a good deed. You can have fat, sugar, and carbs, but the healthy kinds, not the ones that make you gain weight, give you unnatural highs and lows, contribute to diabetes, heart disease, cancer and scores of other diseases.

  I will show you how to replace the bad stuff with the good stuff, enjoy your food, lose weight, and gain greater health and energy than you have ever had.
