Getting through the Holiday!

Getting through Holidays a great challenge!

It has been 15 months since I started my diet change and it has been an exiting journey so far. A great challenge is of course any Holiday, and even this year both Christmas and New Year of course creates challenges. These Holidays are centered a lot around food. So even for me it has been a challenge, and the second Christmas and New Year Holiday since I made my change. And it has been my second year with no cheating, just sticking to my new life style. Since who would I be cheating if not myself, if leaving my new eating habits.

The key is to find something to make yourself feel happy and content and not deprived. And the goal of health or loosing weight might be enough, but sometimes not, when you see others eating all the things you yourself now avoid. So I have tried to find healthy replacements to enjoy.

One main course I have used a lot over these months is Salmon. Since childhood in Norway that is really a festive dish for me. It is fish we only ate for Christmas and New Year, and not really other times since it tended to be expensive.

So during these months when I want to feel I treat myself and even others I will make Salmon. And I bake it whole in the oven to make it really festive. For ordinary days I may make portion pieces only.

Salmon is really healthy with a lot of vitamins and proteins, very little fat and no carbohydrates at all. It is a great alternative for a meal and also a festive meal.
