Are You on The Boyfriend Diet?

10/13/11


There are boyfriend jeans and boyfriend sweaters and then there is the boyfriend diet. All may be comfy, but one will leave you feeling pretty crappy. For years, I thought I was the only person who struggled to balance my healthy diet with the favorite foods of a hungry boyfriend.

I’ve never been one to leave my boyfriend to fend for himself for dinner or to make two separate meals. Besides, I love connecting at the end of a long day over tasty food that is made with love. As I began health coaching, I realized that many women face a similar challenge that goes something like this: It’s so hard to adopt healthy habits and make good food choices when my boyfriend/husband/fiance/partner likes to eat burgers and fries.

Experience taught me how to  manage the situation, and not let it manage me.  How, you ask? It comes down to a few simple tips:

  • Be an example: Healthy choices beget healthy choices
  • Compromise: Look for progress, not perfection
  • Focus on the delicious: Choose whole foods and make them taste great
  • Stay committed: Soon he’ll want to eat the foods that are making you vibrant, energetic and beautiful from the inside out
Healthier French Toast

Over the years, I’ve discovered some healthy, heartier recipes that are perfect for a man-sized appetite and are boyfriend tried, tested — and approved! In fact, I’ve been so inspired by this topic, that I created a recipe eBook, MAN vs. HEALTHY: 25 Boyfriend-Approved Healthy, Hearty Recipes, to get you on your way to delicious, healthy meals that everyone will love.

I have been wanting to try @matcha_116 since I had heard good things and it's a short walk from SoHo in Greenwich Village. There was no line so I was happy. 

The interior is bare bones which is totally fine with me, but I wouldn't necessarily say we got a warm welcome when we walked in. We were the only customers. 

I thought this woman was a customer, but it turns out she was making the matcha! The woman who took my order was on the other side of the counter. 

This was the set up. 

I ordered the16 oz Uji matcha over ice. Milk options were oat or whole. I chose oat. Honestly, the matcha was 10/10. Strong and smooth, just like in Japan. Would totally go back.
