Life Without a Microwave
So when my husband and I moved in together we made the conscious decision to not have a microwave. We didn't want a microwave because it took up a bunch of counter space, it demolished any nutrients of food once you nuke it and it usually made the texture of food very odd. But...
Little did I know that it would make eating healthier so much easier!
When I had a microwave, I would use it a lot to make junk food and I barely cooked from scratch. For my dinner, I would either have a non cooked meal like a sandwich, or just get those horrible pizza rolls and microwave them.
Eliminating the possibility of using a microwave forced me to avoid microwavable food, make dinner from scratch, and inevitably know all the ingredients of what I'm eating. I find that I'm more involved with my food than I used to be and I have to make cooking meals part of my daily routine because I got rid of that crutch.
So here is a challenge if it applies, put your microwave somewhere you can't see for two weeks to see how it changes your daily routine and/or possibly your health. If it's changed for the better, keep it out of your sight or donate it!
Just another way to have a healthier lifestyle.
