One of the biggest misconceptions when it comes to losing weight is that eating is the enemy, and that couldn’t be further from the truth. A healthy diet not only helps you manage your weight, but also builds and strengthens your body. Focus on adding fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, and lean proteins. Here are some of our favorite recipes and tips featuring real foods to eat while on your weight loss journey from the Aspen Clinic of Louisiana.
Where to Get Started: Real Food Tips & Recipes

Snacking with real food is not impossible! Indulge in a bit of prepping and try out our Avocado Pudding when you need to satisfy a sweet tooth.
