Seasonal: Roasted Golden Beets
By Kelly - Nosh and Nourish
I recently lost 60 pounds over the past year and a half, all without counting calories or points. Just a few simple changes made all the difference:
* cutting out sugar
* adding veggie juices
* eating smaller portions (eating just an extra 100 calories a day can lead to a 10 pound weight gain per year!!)
While on my weight loss journey, I designed a unique, stylish, and smart way to be health-savvy and in control: Simple Portion Bowls. I wanted something beautiful to motivate and carry me through to “healthy.”
I am taking pre-orders through Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/153909474/simple-portion-bowls-just-measure-what-matters Make 2013 YOUR YEAR, the year you started living the happy, healthy life!! (with pic of Simple Portion logo and Kickstarter logo)”
One snack I love to place in my Simple Portions Bowls are the Roasted Golden Beets!
