]]>It’s easy to imagine Mrs. Beckham in the most expensive London restaurants trying out the latest hit meals, but the truth is that she actually prefers the simplest foods you can imagine. As she mentioned on the River Café’s Table 4 podcast, she’s “a restaurant’s worst nightmare because she was happy with just a slice of bread with a sprinkling of the seasoning,” Daily Mail reports.
Her go-to order is steamed vegetables and balsamic vinegar. She avoids butter, oils, and sauces, but enjoys a carb-filled meal once in a while. “This is where I sound even more boring in the food department,” she says. “I like whole-grain toast with salt on it. It’s that carbohydrate that makes you feel comforted, and I love salt.” And for dessert? Nothing for her.
As Beckham once told The Guardian, she’s happiest when she’s disciplined in the way she works out and eats. If it works for her, that’s amazing!

]]>There are lots of reasons to eat your veggies. But in addition to being packed full of nutrients, vegetables also tend to be pretty bulky while also having a pretty low number of calories. So if you can include things like broccoli, spinach, asparagus, mushrooms, carrots, and zucchini into every meal, you’ll have lots and lots of food to chew.
One of the best breakfast foods you can eat if you’re a volume person is oatmeal. Because it soaks up so much water or liquid in the cooking process, it ends up being pretty voluminous while still maintaining a relatively low calorie count for being a carb. Plus, it’s a great source of fiber and has more protein and healthy fats than a lot of other grains.

]]>Donating canned goods is typically a good idea as they don’t require special storing conditions and have a long shelf life, but if the cans are in any way damaged, refrain from donating them. Don’t donate the cans that have dents, rust, or some other kinds of damage on them, because the food inside may be spoiled.
You may have some leftover produce and meat that you’d like to donate, but that’s really not a good idea. Many facilities don’t have enough refrigerators and freezers to keep such foods cold so it will spoil in no time.
Although you have the best intentions, donating homemade meals will be rejected by most food banks. They aren’t allowed to accept food that doesn’t have proper packaging and will have to throw out the food you made.

]]>When you tell yourself you should or shouldn’t eat something and then do the opposite, guilt will automatically follow. Think about why you think you should or shouldn’t eat certain foods and question the sources of your beliefs. Learn how to listen to your body’s needs.
Many people experience guilt after eating a bunch of snacks and empty calories as they watch TV in the evenings. If that’s the case with you, mindful eating might be the right approach. Avoid mindless snacking whenever possible and set aside time to enjoy your food without screens.
Many of us tend to be too harsh with ourselves. Try tuning your inner monolog to mimic the way you’d talk to a child or a dear friend. Don’t guilt yourself into eating or not eating something and don’t tell yourself you’re a bad person just because you didn’t eat enough vegetables or you had your favorite guilty pleasure food for dinner.

]]>Not enough people make their own salad dressing. That may be because they don’t know just how easy it can be to whip up a truly delicious vinaigrette. All you need is three parts oil to one part vinegar. No matter what oil or vinegar you use, it’ll turn out great every time.
This liquid sweetener that can be used in things like lemonade, cocktails, and baking, is incredibly easy to make on your own. You just need to combine two (or three if you have a sweet tooth) parts of sugar with one part of water. Boil, cool, and voila!
Why use pancake mix when you can whip up your own pancake batter in a jiffy as long as you’ve got this ratio? It’s just two parts flour, two parts liquid, one egg, and half part fat. For the fat, you can use butter or oil interchangeably, and you can always add some vanilla, sugar, and/or baking powder to take it to the next level.

Whether it’s choosing countries that you have always wanted to visit, selecting countries that are the home to a dish that you particularly love, or randomly spinning a wheel to choose a country, there are so many ways that this can be done.
