Techniques for Success!
Skill OneDon’t start out by trying to plan elaborate menu plans. It becomes an exercise in frustration. Instead, focus on some easy things you can throw together in minutes. As you become more comfortable with how the container system works, then you can add some more variety into you meal plan.

Skill Two Make use of leftovers. My advice is to cook double and triple batches so that you can eat leftovers the next day or two and even freeze portions for the following weeks.

Skill ThreeEat a “Clean” version of what you normally do. For example, if you family likes spaghetti, tacos, pizza – don’t worry! Just learn how to make them at home with healthy, whole food ingredients. Read this article on Clean Eating + Substitutions
