Workability is key to any changes in dietary patterns. If you can’t keep up with it or stick to it because it is too difficult, it won’t work.
One way to help make things easy is to take part of one day a week and cook. Use a couple of hours worth of time to make things like chili, roast, or just cook a large quantity of meat seasoned with only salt and pepper. We refer to these as planned-overs.
Planned-overs allow variety and quick meals. The chili above has been eaten alone, in a salad and this morning tasted great with some cheddar cheese and a couple of fried eggs.
The good thing about planned-overs is the base food can be something that requires time to cook but most of it can be unattended, e.g. chili simmers in a pot, roast… well, it roasts. It does require some time but not a huge amount and the payoffs are worth it.
