It’s that time of year, when everyone vows to fit back into their ‘skinny clothes’ after overindulging on rich holiday treats. It’s so inevitable that gym owners count on a spike in January membership signups to boost their numbers all year.
And then by February, it’s a distant memory…
If you ask me, I think the New Year’s resolution concept is a stupid gimmick. While there’s nothing wrong with self-improvement goals, who says you have to set them all in January and stick to them rigidly for 12 months? Seems like a recipe for failure and disappointment.
I’m probably the last person on Earth who should be doling out diet advice (actually, that honor might be reserved for the editors of This Is Why You’re Fat) but I’ve rounded up some links to healthy recipes on popular cooking websites. And if you find a dish as tasty as it is nutritious, please feel free to share with us!

Some of Fun With Carbs’ favorite healthy recipes: baked turkey meatballs blended with a red bell pepper/onion/garlic ‘puree,’ chicken stir-fry with vegetables and brown rice, grilled salmon with orange glaze, egg white omelets with spinach and feta, crockpot chicken soup with orzo, spinach salad with almonds and goat cheese crumbles. Mmm…maybe this ‘diet’ thing won’t be too terrible.
