When you have to eat healthy and “differently”, meals can quickly become a major concern. Something you need to take care of constantly. The more you have to prepare, the more important it is to plan ahead in order not to get overwhelmed.
"Gee, I forgot...". Considering how busy most of us already are, thinking about all the meals we have to prepare is not always easy. Planning is about avoiding being up against the wall and making sure you always have the "right" things to eat.
Breakfast, snack, lunch, dinner... And then birthday parties, Easter treats, outdoor meals, etc. So much to think about! Managing a different diet adds a considerable mental load. When you plan, you lighten it up.
Admittedly, dealing with intolerances, allergies or similar conditions related to food is no easy task, especially when children are involved. The best way to avoid being overwhelmed and discouraged is to plan ahead. To get off on the right foot.
