-
Hi there, a very warm welcome to you😁. Thank you for clicking on the link and being right here on our blog. Alright, this post is about some Healthy Delishes i think you should consider adding to your diet, if you have not started eating healthy already. You need to start planning your meal, you might need a meal plan, not just a meal plan, actually,  but a Healthy Meal Plan. 

I understand how tight schedules can be and how sometimes, we get so busy that we even forget to eat. Although, some of us just do not even care at all, because we think eating healthy is only for those trying to lose weight, but the truth is that a poor nutrition in the end results in illnesses; high blood pressure, bad cholesterol level, obesity, Insulin resistance, blood sugar spike, some cancers, to mention a few.

Healthy Edibles has a Healthy Meal Plan that could help you lose weight, if you want to; or to help you gain weight or maintain your weight, if that is your desire. With this Healthy Meal Plan, if you are desirous of gaining some weight, you just need to increase your portions and be consistent. To lose weight, cut your portions and be consistent.


Remember, the most important thing is that you always eat a balanced diet (if you wish to learn more about balancing your diet, read this https://healthyediblesonly.blogspot.com/2020/07/balanced-diet-all-that.html , you could also watch this short video on the ABC of Balancing your diet; https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Qg6kxhc78/?igshid=hm73nr4zkfby

WHILE ON THE WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY with Nwadiogbu Ogechukwu

Hello, I had an interview with my friend, Oge, on her weight loss journey, which I found really inspiring. She has agreed to share it with Healthy Edibles family 🤗 Below are some of the questions she was asked and her answers. I hope it inspires you too😊 1. Tell me about your weight gain story. It all started about 3years ago. I started gaining weight and  I honestly liked it at first. But after about 6 months to a year, it wasn’t nice anymore and I couldn’t control it. Then, a painful and heartbreaking situation happened to me and I unknowingly started having eating disorder. I more or less found happiness and solace in food. At that period, the weight gain got worse and it affected me psychologically. I had self image issues— saw myself as ugly, even when I knew I was beautiful. I detested taking pictures and looking at the mirror. 2. How do you feel about your current size? I feel better about it now. I’m learning to love my body more everyday. Sometimes, this self image issue...

WHEN PLANNING YOUR NEXT MEAL, THINK PUMPKIN LEAVES

Hey there, How are you? How have you been holding up? It’s been a moment. We hope you have been keeping to a balanced diet. It is that time of the week when we get to share amazing food tips with you. This week we will be discussing the health benefit of one underrated vegetable which doubles as a super food “UGWU”. For starters, “UGWU” is referred to as “pumpkin leaf” in English and it contains a whole lot of nutrients. It is rich in Calcium, Iron, Potassium, Magnesium, Folate, Protein and is also a good source of Vitamins A, B6 and C amongst other nutrients. Also, ugwu ranks high on the satiety. It contains soluble fiber which helps to slow down digestion thereby keeping you fuller for longer. In other words, since ugwu takes a longer time to digest, it holds your tummy for a longer period compared to other vegetables. Ugwu extract serves as blood boosters especially for anemic patients. While malt and milk is a good blood booster, it’s not 100% safe since malt contains s...

IT'S NOT AS BAD AS THEY SAY IT IS

Holla, How have you been holding up? We hope you’ve been keeping a balanced diet. It would most definitely to have not heard myths about this food called egg. Personally, while growing up, I heard a lot; “egg makes you fat”, “egg adds too much cholesterol to your body”, “egg yolk is healthier than egg white”, “egg white is more nutritious than the egg” and so on. While some of these are true, most of them are also misconceptions. So this week, we want to demystify the misconceptions that so easily cloud this food called EGG. First off, EGG belongs to a class of food called super food. This is due to the fact that it is loaded with a lot of nutrients. It contains Protein, Calcium, Vitamin A, B-6 and D, Sugar, Cobalamin, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium and Cholesterol. Research has also shown that it contains a nutrient which most people do not know exist, Choline. Choline helps build cell membranes amongst other various functions. Egg is thus the king of nutrients. Well, the import...
