Profile of a Healthy Eater: Callie
Callie says she’s recently revamped her eating style:
In the last six months my diet went from mostly processed, no vegetables, fast-food crazy, meat heavy, to mostly vegetarian, tons of vegetables, and lots of stay-at -ome cooking.It’s wonderful, because unlike the diets I’ve tried, I’m eating whatever I want — as long as I make it myself.
I love the idea of eating anything you want, as long as you cook it! Make fries, milkshakes, burgers — just make them yourself with high-quality ingredients! Read Callie’s profile below for more on her “DIY-delicious” foodie style.
Miss Callie is oh-so-cute!
1. What’s your foodie style? DIY-delicious. I’m constantly learning more about what is best to eat and how to incorporate lots of different foods into my diet, but the idea I’m following right now is: Make it yourself, make it mostly vegetables, and make it scrumptious.
2. Something people consider “healthy” that you think is anything but? Sugar-free/low-fat/low-calorie anything that, logically, should contain what they claim is missing.
3. Favorite food/health blog? I love this blog, and I love Rachel’s blog, too. The Daily Green also has some fantastic recipes, and they’re good for the environment, too!
4. Your go-to five-minute meal? Black beans, left over homemade pico de gallo, left over guacamole, on a tortilla.
5. Perfect last meal? Homemade spaghetti & marinara. Classic!
6. Favorite method of cooking and why? Blending. I love it when I know I’ve made something that is so minimally processed that I didn’t even have to turn on the stove.
7. Craziest diet you’ve ever tried? The 1200 Calorie Diet. I wrote about it on my blog recently, and it sounds like a lot of people have had a similar experience. It’s too obsessive.
8. Restaurant you’d go to every day if you could? D’Lish Very Vegetarian in Sedona, AZ. It’s fantastic food, great prices, and it’s all vegetarian.9. Food/dish you’ve always wanted to learn how to cook, but haven’t? Quinoa.
10. Dream dining companion? Michael Pollan, just because he was one of the major influences of changing my diet.
