Don’t underestimate the power of a new recipe,” says dietitian, nutritionist and author Ilana Muhlstein.

“When I have clients who feel stuck and frustrated with their weight loss … I have to change the whole conversation,” she says. “Sometimes it’s a cabbage steak, a really good slaw or, zoodles or a yummy spaghetti squash bowl that takes you out of that place of feeling stuck and into a place of thriving.”

If the food you eat tastes boring or even simply tolerable, you’ll likely give up on eating healthy pretty quickly.

“Food has to be something that actually makes you feel good …  so that you will want to keep eating vegetables and healthy food for the rest of your life,” Muhlstein says.
