Food Fatigue–4 Easy Ways to Fight It

Food Fatigue

You may be wondering what the heck food fatigue even is…

Do ever get to a point when you just get tired of the food you eat?

Maybe you have been eating healthy for a couple of weeks, and then all of a sudden you just don’t want to eat that food any more. You know you SHOULD eat, but you just can’t bring yourself to do it.

Nothing sounds good any more.

That’s food fatigue.

Sometimes food fatigue happens when you have been eating not-so-good-for-you-stuff too. You just get sick of eating the same things over and over again.

Food fatigue has happened to me recently while doing a round of Whole30.

The first week was exciting and I enjoyed making all the eggs and chicken and sweet potatoes.

But now that I am starting week 3, I find myself not really wanting to eat because–well, because it’s getting boring.

So, what do you do when that happens? You change it up!

4 Tips To Fight Food Fatigue

1) Try some new recipes.

I love using Pinterest as a free resource to find new and interesting meals to make. To help you get started,  we found these 3 recipes that sound tasty & interesting!

Sheet Pan Taco Chicken Fingers
Sloppy Joe Bowls
Sticky Asian Meatballs

2) Grab the cookbooks

Pull out an underused cookbook and try some long-forgotten recipes. Or maybe even order yourself a new cookbook to explore.

Early in my healthy eating journey, I LOVED the Hungry Girl cookbooks, and this one published in 2019 looks super interesting: Hungry Girl Simply 6: All Natural Recipes With 6 Ingredients or Less.

And the Nom Nom Paleo Cookbooks are always a great choice: Nom Nom Paleo: Food for Humans & Ready or Not!: 150+ Make-Ahead, Make-Over, and Make-Now Recipes 
Nom Nom Paleo cookbook Nom Nom Ready or Not
3) Try something you’ve never eaten before.

Eating the same ingredients over and over–like beef and/or chicken–can certainly lead to food fatigue. Increase your repertoire by trying salmon or cod. This Everything Bagel Salmon sounds delicious!

Or what about cooking eggplant? Perhaps your family might enjoy Eggplant Parmesan.

Even making just one new meal can help you make food fatigue a thing of the past.

4) Use Prepped Girl.

We have a new lunch menu each week and regularly introduce new meals to the menu.

Having delicious, healthy meals prepared for you can help alleviate some of your food fatigue, plus give you back the time you were spending in the kitchen.

There is no minimum order amount, so you can order as many meals that you need to shake up your current boring meal plan.

You can check out this week’s menu HERE and order yourself some fatigue busting meals to be delivered to your door Sunday morning.

Quarantine certainly made it hard for us to find a variety of foods to eat, especially for those of us who enjoy eating out regularly, but food fatigue can happen even when we have lots of options on our plates. Having some quick, simple tips to bust through food fatigue when it hits can save your healthy meal plan from derailing.

We would love to hear from you!!

Whole30 Menu for the month of January

Buffalo Chicken Sweet Potato

Hey friends!! It has certainly been a hot minute since we have shared our stuff on our blog, but we are here today to let you know (in case you haven’t heard) that for the whole month of January, our menu will be Whole30 compliant!!

Whaaatttt???!!

Yep!

If you have ever done a round of Whole30, you know that in order to be successful–meaning, you don’t break one rule for 30 days–you NEED to be prepped and ready.

Eating on the fly while doing Whole30 is tough.

You can’t just run into the grocery store and grab prepackaged food or hit up most drive thrus. You have to read the labels. You have to know your stuff. You have a lot to avoid.

I remember many times during my first round of Whole30 wandering the aisles of the grocery store ravenous looking for something substantial and compliant to eat.

Since most of us are short on time, we decided to help you kick off the new year with a secret weapon–Prepped Girl!

All of our breakfasts and lunches will be Whole30 compliant down to the mayonnaise and the ketchup and the sauces we use. Like our Whole30 compliant Loaded Burger Bowl…

And our Fish Taco Bowls…

And our Tomato Basil Egg Muffin…

And MORE!!

You won’t have to spend time reading labels, planning out all your meals, or prepping ahead of time.

You just need to decide what you are going to eat each day and grab and go!

Since each meal is individually portioned in BPA-free, microwave/freezer safe, recyclable containers, eating on the go and staying Whole30 compliant has never been easier!

The 1st week of Whole30 compliant meals is up on the website and ready for preorder.

All the meals will be delivered Sunday December 29th so you can hit the ground running.

Check them out and order yourself some Whole30 goodness today!!!

What’s on the menu

Next delivery date is Sunday, June 23rd.

As I am writing this, it is a dreary, stormy day. I don’t know about you, but these “summer” days don’t really feel so summery. I can’t wait for the warm temps and the steady sunshine. I would rather be seeking out shelter from the sun rather than from all this rain.

But, despite the dreary weather, we have some YUMMY meals on the menu this week (buuutttt…..we do say that every week!! lol!).

Too many people believe that in order to eat healthy they have to give up food that tastes great.

We believe the exact opposite.

When you eat REAL, WHOLESOME food, food tastes DELICIOUS! The trick is using healthy fats and flavorful spices and quality meats.

Here are a few of our favorites on the menu this week!

Barbeque Chicken Spaghetti Squash

Barbeque Chicken Spaghetti Squash

If you are looking for a Whole30 compliant, Paleo, Gluten & Dairy free meal with LOTS of protein, this is the meal for you!

This meal is hearty and healthy and packed full with flavor!

The BBQ sauce is made from scratch and is sweetened with medjool dates.

It also packs a powerful nutritional punch with 44g of protein and it’s served on top of low-carb spaghetti squash!

The BBQ sauce comes on the side so you can add a little or a lot!
