How to eat healthy if my mom only buys junk food?

healthy ice cream sandwich recipes image

StayTrueSt

I really want to start eating healthier...But my mom always buys junk food. Yes we do have healthier foods but not a lot... She always buys hot pockets,snack cakes,ice creams,pop, cookies, things to make cakes with, really sugary cereals...The only healthy things she buys are like a head of lettuce, apples or oranges sometimes, and some frozen veggies...I always try to just stick with wheat bread for my sandwiches at lunch and an apple or orange. But it's so tempting to just grab something un healthy when I'm hungry... And since the healthier foods don't last that long I have to eat the other stuff...How can I eat healthier when it's really tempting to just...not?

Answer
Ask your mom to buy healthier food. If she doesn't, then use the frozen veggie to make salads. Eat the fruits for snacks. Switch the recipes around with the salad so you don't get tired of it. If you run out of the healthier food, ask your dad to buy the healthy food. Not trying to be on the bad side but if they don't buy any, trade food with your friends. Lol.

What are good ideas for healthy treats to bring to school?

mama2

This is my son's first year of school and his teacher asks that when treats are brought in, they are healthy for the most part. No cupcakes, etc. My son's first day to bring a snack to school is next week and I can't think of anything creative for him to bring. Someone already brought the 'butterfly' treat, where you place a clothespin between a ziploc bag of snacks. Are there any other ideas anyone has used before or knows of that are healthy and cute? Thanks!

Answer
Kids are so cute at this age!!! Here are some ideas you might find acceptable:

1. Jello shapes: the original recipe is on their website, but it calls for a couple of boxes of jello and about half of the liquid. This makes an extra stiff batch that holds up well when cut in shapes with cookie cutters. Serve with animal crackers and whipped cream.
2. Rice krispy treats: you can make these using puffed brown rice and granola. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters and add mini chocolate chips or craisins as an extra treat.
3. Ice cold orange sections with a drizzle of raspberry syrup
4. Nutella spread on whole wheat bread and cut with cookie cutters
5. Trail mix baggies, ties with rafia
6. Celophane bags filled with mini box of raisins, M&M's, peanuts, and granola
7. String cheese and bread sticks or pretzel sticks tied with a piece of fruit bark.
8. Mini bagels spread with lowfat cream cheese and sprinkles with cinnamon
9. Baked potato or vege chips with lowfat ranch dressing
10. Fresh fruit parfaits: small plastic cups layered with non-fat strawberry yogurt, granola, fresh fruit
11. Fresh veges and dip: cucumbers, grape tomatos, mini carrots, jicama, brocolli florets and ranch dressing.
12. Mini peanut butter cookie sandwiches filled with nutella and raisins

What would be some good healthy meals for a diabetic truck driver on the go?

Emily24

my dad has been eating chips and sandwiches for years it's time to try some good wholesome means but ti's hard when you have to eat on the go so I need some good nutritional tasty food for a truck driver on the go that's easy to eat and fast. Please help!! for some good tips, advice, recipes whatever you got give it please .

Answer
I am diabetic too, and I know it's super hard to eat out or on the go because you don't know what it put in the food, and I just recently found out and it's been hard to figure out the amounts I need to balance everything since I love sugar and carbs! The best tip is to replace your favorites with diabetic things. Now when I bake cookies, instead of sugar I use apple sauce or splenda for example.

I bought an Atkins cookbook since they are lower in carbs but it's not the unhealthy junk the media portrays it to be, not just bacon, steak, and hot dogs.

You can make him healthy meals and freeze them in little tupperwares so he can heat them up in a microwave at a truckstop or in the truck if he has one.

Wraps are a great on the go food, for breakfast lunch and dinner. Examples:
Turkey Bacon, Eggs, Cheese on a whole wheat tortilla or pita.
Chicken, bacon, cheese, light sauce (ranch, hummus, mustard,etc) and veggies on whole wheat wrap or pita

A sandwich is just fine if he loves them, but make sure it's the healthiest possible. Whole wheat bread (make sure the first ingredient is 100% whole wheat/stone ground flour, not enriched wheat flour) it should have at least 2 grams of fiber per slice. I eat lunch at Subway almost everyday, and I just make sure to get mustard as a sauce since I know it's sugar free and no carbs, and make sure the bread is wheat or honey oat.

He should only be drinking water or crystal light if he can because this will allow him to use the sugars he does eat daily for foods he enjoys. I love pepsi but I rather drink water all day if it means I can have a small bowl of ice cream or snack cake when I want a regular dessert.


Snacks he can keep on hand
Popcorn
Peanut Butter (Great alone, or with an apple, etc-its filling, quick, and if you buy the ones with only peanuts and salt in it it's healthy too)
Veggies/hummus
Soups
Whole grain bagels/english muffins
*I didn't include fruits because my Dr. says for me it counts as a sugar since Im not on meds and don't want to be.

Since he is on the road so much he needs to make sure he gets enough exercise as that helps lower blood sugar and improve circulation.
