Healthy Food Tastes So Good

I remember in the past that I used to see healthy foods like salads as tasteless rabbit's food...how wrong I was. I think many of us who are overweight live under this myth that healthy food tastes bad and unhealthy food tastes good. I realised that it was a matter of habit, once I gradually changed my eating habits, I began to discover that healthy, clean foods are super-delicious.

The salad in this picture was one I made for myself, and believe me it was delicious. Salads are so versatile because you can add just about anything to them. I did not need to add a high calorie dressing to it because the ingredients I used (especially the guacamole) really added lots of flavour.

I took this photo with my I-phone and did not realise it would come out so well, so I am really enthusiastic now about posting more pics of my meals and recipe ideas in forthcoming posts.
