Intelligent Eats

Intelligent Eaters, If you've noticed there haven't been any postings for a while, it is for a very good reason! I have accepted a position as a nutrition counselor and it is in the best interest of the company I place my blogging and social media efforts towards my day job versus my side business. Please refer to Nutritional Weight & Wellness' business page for future postings and to tune in! You will find SO MUCH great information. Until another time, always remember to..... EAT INTELLIGENTLY :D

Snazz up your salmon dish and create Coconut Curry Salmon! On a 1 lb. wild salmon fillet, top with 1.5 Tbsps of coconut oil, 1 tsp of curry powder, adding salt and pepper to taste. Cook at 350 for 15 minutes or until flakes easily. Add a side of asparagus and you have yourself a delicious, nutritious, and oh-so-easy meal! (the fillet makes 3-4 servings) http://instagr.am/p/J-WXIBKuwn/

We are a society that wants results yesterday and despise the idea of having to wait. However, when it comes to weight loss and leading a healthy lifestyle, we must, MUST, understand it isn't a quick fix. It's important we think of it as a marathon, not a sprint, realizing first and foremost a state of good health take precedence over a specific number on the scale!
