There is almost always a way to turn something unhealthy into something healthy. My Instagram is full of ideas on being creative with your food. Craving tacos, burgers, fries or maybe dessert? Check out my page! I provide recipes on how to fulfill these cravings without the guilt!MFM: What do you consider your greatest achievement so far?CV: This is tough to pick one, as I have had many great achievements. I would say starting my own personal training business. Ultimately, my business is a reflection of all my past achievements. It is very fulfilling knowing I can now spend full-time helping others along their journey to becoming fit and healthy.MFM: Holidays are around corner, what is the best way to avoid gaining weight around this time?CV: Plan your workouts! It is easy to get buried in the endless Holiday tasks. If possible, plan your workout in the morning, before your busy day begins. Also, I like to pre-plan what I will and will not indulge in. I love sweets so for me indulging in savory food is not as tempting. I usually resort to eating the leanest part of the meat and supplement this with some roasted vegetables. If I%u2019m not sure what will be cooked at the party, I usually bring a healthy dish to fall back on. Also, I be sure to drink plenty of water. Many times thirst can feel like hunger. I save my indulgence for desserts. I usually pick one (or two desserts) that I want. I think it%u2019s good to satisfy your cravings in moderation. Otherwise, you may find yourself caving and binging on these foods.Some ways to distract your mind from food is to encourage your family to go outside and enjoy the fall weather or plan a family trivia/ Pictionary game around the fireplace. One of my favorite is Taboo. Anything that will help eliminate majority of your time spent around the table and your mind occupied on other things!
