A Challenge!

Friends, for some time now I have posted mostly healthy, easy to prepare, low-salt, low-fat, and high fiber suggestions on how to enhance your meals and food lifestyle.  At the same time, we are starting to introduce exercise info with fun pictures. 

I would like to propose that those of you who follow this blog, or are otherwise interested, submit your favorite meal following these guidelines:  a minimum of 8 g of fiber for the entire meal, a maximum of 600 calories (preferably less), a serving of protein, a serving of whole grains or legumes, a salad, and another side dish vegetable.  Desserts may be included.  If you desire a glass of wine, be sure to include that in the calorie count.  Please take pictures of the food and preparation process.

If you have an exercise idea with pictures, that is awesome too and will be considered a contribution.

In the next month, I will begin posting the entries and give full credit to the generous donors (pseudonyms allowed).  The goal here is to share as many healthful living ideas amongst ourselves.

At the end of the month, there will be a small (very small) prize given to the most thoughtful entry.  And if this continues, the prizes will continue as well.

Per our motto for The Alpha Plan, "Eat Tasty, Live Healthy!"

P.S.  I have just taken a photo of our meal tonight to meet the criteria and will post tomorrow.  It involves trout.
