What does it mean to be a PickyEater?
When people think of being a “picky eater,” they think of the little kid who doesn’t want to eat anything except ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
But being a PickyEater can be something very different: It can be something positive that helps you transform your way to a healthier, happier life.
This is what it means to be a PickyEater:

Complete agree with this Anjali! 🙂 Small changes, simple recipes and avoid the guilt when you indulge – great ethos!
Thank you so much Tom! That’s exactly right! 🙂
I absolutely love your blog and can totally relate to your story and philosophy! Thanks for sharing your stories and all the great recipes!
Thanks so much!! It’s so great to meet you — I can’t wait to hear how my recipes turn out for you!
I just love this. Totally can relate to your views…simple straight forward easy to follow. All about balance and treating your body kindly…food isn’t just to eat. It is a pleasure and more importantly to nourish your body. We are what we eat. I don’t believe in completely eliminating really anything from your diet, just keep it in proper moderation. And what goes hand in hand with what you eat…staying active!! Love your blog, keep it up girl 😉
Yes!! Absolutely 🙂 Everything in moderation is totally my mantra. I’m so glad it resonates with you! Thanks so much for your kind words Kelly — stay healthy and well!
I love the philosophy!! I have realized recently that when I “fall off of the wagon” that doesn’t mean the journey and goal of being a very healthy eater is over but I can get right back up and try again. 🙂
I love your blog!
Aw thank you so much Autumn!! I’m so glad my philosophy resonates with you 🙂 And yes!! Just because you go a little overboard one day doesn’t mean that you can’t still be healthy all of the other days of the week/month/year!
Hi! I just wanted to say I love your blog and all your recipes seem very delicious! I need to try them! I was wondering if you could answer some of my questions about losing weight and looking more fit and healthy.
Hi Bella! Thank you so much! 🙂 I would be more than happy to answer any questions you have about losing weight — I’ll send you an email and we can take it from there! Thanks again!
I totally agree with you. Today, people eat junk food that undermines their health.
Thanks Aleksandar! Honestly for me it’s not that simple – yes, junk food does undermine health in general. But a bit of “junk food” (e.g. dessert) here or there isn’t a huge deal if you are eating whole foods, unprocessed foods, and tons of fruits & veggies 90% of the time! 🙂
Also good job on your site it looks really good and i am wishing my mom packed me such cute lunches!
Awww thanks so much Lucie!! So glad you like my site! 🙂
Hi!
I am wondering if you can answer some questions about loosing weight and suggestions for healthy eating? i have gained 5 pounds in one week! (LOL) that I want to loose and keep off.
Hi Lucie! Absolutely! I’ll contact you over email to follow up in more detail — but I just wanted to say that I can absolutely help you with weight loss and healthy eating (those are the areas I specialized in during my health coaching degree!) Hang in there and we will talk soon! 🙂
I can’t wait till I try some of your recipes, I’m a 17 year old is really concerned about his diet I’m 5’6 and a half (cant forget that half especially when my relatives are like 6’2) but i am obese at 200 lbs, I am supposed to weigh 160. Hopefully your foods allow me to regain what my healthy physique was when I was 13 years old. I am a self proclaimed picky eater and its not the taste trust me it’s all texture but I believe that with your recipes I can do this and a lot of walking 😀 So here’s to eating healthier *raises a glass of non-alcoholic wine as I abhor alcohol* and let’s hope this works. On the side note, what is your advice on cooking healthy on a budget for us soon to be College Kids or the families that have so little money?
Hi Anthony! Thank you so much for reaching out to me and for sharing your story! It’s so wonderful to “meet” you 🙂 I can’t wait to hear how you like my recipes once you try them – and yes, heres to eating healthier indeed! So to your question about cooking healthy on a budget, I actually have a post with 10 tips on how to make budget-friendly (but still healthy) choices at the grocery store – which you can use to buy the ingredients for most recipes on my blog. The post is here. Let me know if you have any other questions in the meantime, and keep me posted on how things go!
i’m recently getting into being “picky” about my food. And it’s a hard beginning. I’ve never really bothered about all this before and don’t know where to start. But I am slowly learning what to eat and what not to. And your blog helps in a huge way. And the fact that the recipes are simple for an amateur like me to make, means it’s even better.
Aw thank you so much for your kind words Crystal! I’m so glad my blog is helping to make healthy eating easier for you 🙂 Kudos to you for making the effort and taking the time to incorporate healthier foods into your diet – let me know if I can help in any way or if you have any questions! Thanks again!
