healthy_eatingHere at Lose Baby Weight, we believe that a healthy eating plan is all about balance.
It’s not reasonable to suggest that you should never eat chocolate again or that a chip shall never pass your lips.
Many people find that once they allow themselves to indulge now and then, the cravings subside and gradually you feel more in control of your healthy eating plan.
So if you do feel like indulging, today we have some ideas for doing so in a healthy way.
