Staying the course with nutrition is often the hardest part of a healthy lifestyle change. And with nearly 80% of body composition transformation success being tied into proper nutrition, it’s quite possibly the most important part of the equation. One thing that makes it incredibly difficult is a lack of knowledge when it comes to recipes and the thought that, “It just isn’t going to taste very good.” That’s why Actualize provides healthy, balanced recipes once a month to help you get new food into your rotation. Healthy can be delicious and these recipes will prove it!
