This is a philosophy I can definitely live by! After three kids, sure, I have a little weight I need to lose. About fifteen pounds, actually. But I simply dread the thought of having to give up on my favorite foods, or make substitutions that in no way make up for the real thing (carob instead of chocolate? No thank you). Reading the tag line of the site "eat real food in moderation", I know that we're speaking each others language.

I love the posts on eating healthy while saving money. As anyone who does grocery shopping knows, is a lot cheaper to eat junk food. So I really appreciate tips like these. I'll warn you, though, not to look at the recipes while you're hungry. They are so good, and the pictures will make your mouth water. The recipes are super healthy and so good. I've already made a couple, and will definitely keep coming back.

I came across this site because lately I've been concerned about my weight as well as my health. There are so many diet programs and websites that claim to have the miracle cure to losing weight and achieving your perfect body in no time. This website connected with me because it seems a little more realistic. AlmostFit acknowledges the fact that there are no miracle cures. The site suggests that maybe the key is not to take extreme measures for a short period of time only to resort back to your old ways as soon as you reach your target weight just to find yourself in the same weight problem pickle a little ways down the line. Moderation seems to be the sensible middle ground. I know, personally, I love cheese and I couldn't imagine giving it up for any extended period of time. On the other hand I know it's loaded with fat and too much of it is bad for me. So with cheese, as well as with other delicious foods I like to indulge in, I have tried to have smaller portions and indulge in them less frequently. So far this seems to be working for me. I've started losing some of the weight I put on and I don't feel like I'm depriving or torturing myself in any way. I definitely recommend this site to anyone trying to lose weight and be healthier without having to give up their favorite foods completely.
