MarleenKookt brings the Foodsisters to your home!
About the Foodsisters
Janneke and Amande Koeman, better known as the Foodsistersare two sisters with a passion for healthy food.
Their mission: to make healthy eating and a healthy weight achievable for everyone, even if you have a busy job or family. Over 30,000 copies of their first cookbook have already been sold.
This week I am making Quinoa cookies with a cauliflower couscous saladinspired by their recipes. Alongside, I will make a fresh bessara dip from peas.
My tip for a healthy lifestyle: keep it simple!
During my second pregnancy, I gained quite a bit of weight, and after my son was born, I struggled to lose it. At that time, I had a busy office job, and with two small children, I wasn't focused on dieting. However, it didn't sit well with me. At one point, I made two agreements with myself:
1. I will stop eating sugar 2. I will start running
That turned out to be the golden combination for me. While grocery shopping, I consciously looked at the ingredients of a product and started making more things myself. This made it easier to manage at home.
Furthermore, I didn’t order dessert when dining out and informed my colleagues so that I wouldn’t be pressured into having cake at birthdays ;-)
For running, I used an app where I was encouraged by the Belgian Evy. With her help, I managed to build up my running and stick with it.
My tip for a healthy lifestyle after a major change in your life, such as a new job or having children, is: keep it simple!
