THE BEYOND CHICKEN FOOD SWAP

Hi Everyone,

This week I have asked everyone to bring in a favorite product or recipe.

As we plan our meals week after week sometimes it is easier to go with old reliables then to try something new. Sticking to the same old things, though, can lead to food boredom. Such boredom can leave us more vulnerable to temptation and unplanned snacking which can hinder weight loss efforts.

Changing up food choices promotes satisfaction and long term weight loss success. This week we are going to do that in the meeting by looking at some recipes and products that other members enjoy. Also check out the week 8 book for some interesting recipes.

See you at the meeting.
