This is the time of year where the bright and shiny resolutions we made to get in shape and lose weight begin to wane and we tend to want to give up. Our disappointment with our progress leads to reverting back to old habits of comfort. Well, I know it can be challenging to stay positive and maintain momentum when you are on a weight loss journey, and that's why I did this video. I want to help you stay positive and optimistic by reminding you that you are doing something wonderful for your health and your body. I want to help you stay focused and stick with it. I also know that sometimes we hit plateaus in our diet and exercise programs that can cause us to lose confidence in our ability to achieve success, that's when you need something extra, something that will renew your hope and excite you and remind you why you are doing it.  In my video I share four really easy and simple ways that you can boost your weight loss plan to help get you through any challenges you may currently be facing. These tips will put the mojo back into your metabolism and help you lose weight faster.These are easy things you can incorporate into your life and become daily habits. Forming healthy habits helps you develop a healthy lifestyle and then you won't even need diets or have to concern yourself with losing weight. You will just be; and you will eat and live a certain way that does not add weight to your body or drag down your level of fitness. That's basically how I live. I naturally just gravitate to healthier foods and ways of cooking without even having to think of it, and I exercise regularly without having to force myself or make it a big focus of my daily life. It's just part of what I do regularly. You will get there too. I want to help you in any way I can so I hope you will watch my video below for inspiration and motivation to help you keep going, stay focused, and get excited about the new and wonderful way you are going to look and feel. xo Linda

How To Make Healthy Baked, Not Fried Eggplant Parmesan

Come cook with me and learn how to make my authentic eggplant parmesan recipe that I prepare in a way that is very healthy and nutritious for you. In my latest YouTube cooking video below, I show you step by step how to make my homemade eggplant parmigiana recipe that is 100% baked, not fried, and has no additional salt added. Eggplant parmesan is traditionally made by frying eggplant slices in hot oil and uses salt to sweat the eggplant. Eggplant, in particular, is a vegetable that absorbs a great deal of oil making traditional eggplant parmesan a very heavy and caloric meal. However, my no-fry homemade recipe is lighter, healthier, and even tastier than the fried version, and I even add my own special twist which I think you will love. It tastes absolutely amazing and it's one of my family’s favorite dishes that I make. So learn from a real Italian how to make mouth-watering eggplant parmesan, and you will learn how make it healthier for you too. You will also learn some great cooking tips; I cook everything for my family and I always cook healthy homemade whole foods. You will be right in the kitchen with me and we'll do it together. Abbondanza!
