Weight Loss Wednesday - Cook More Meals Than You Eat Out
Cooking every single meal of the day is an unrealistic goal for many people — and the point of resolutions is to choose something attainable. Instead, try to cook more meals at home than you order or eat out, suggests Bonnie Taub-Dix, RD, registered dietitian, BetterThanDieting.com creator, and author of Read It Before You Eat It: Taking You from Label to Table. ​

You can also tailor this goal to your specific needs. Some people may feel more at ease putting a weekly timeline on this one. In other words, cook more meals than you eat out in a week. Cook more meals than you eat out in a day.

Cooking at home allows you to select foods that are not only nutritious but also enjoyable for you and your family. It also allows you to learn new cooking skills and spend more quality time with loved ones. And you will save a LOT of money.

"Homemade meals prepared with friends or family provide more than just a meal; they allow you to learn valuable cooking skills while also connecting with others," says Taub-Dix. "Think about sharing potluck dinners so you only have to make one dish."
