When you begin a weight loss program, variety is very important. If you find you are cooking the same meals over and over again, then you will become bored, craving variety in the form of sugary and carb-laden treats. Make sure you take the time to add in at least one new recipe every couple of weeks to widen your repertoire. A variety of dishes will not only ensure you get all the nutrients you need, but you are also more likely to maintain your desired weight.
