If you don't like mustard, fear not, I grew to love it. Especially after realizing it has zero calories. It is in the "free food" category and can help flavor anything.
Not to mention it has been linked to helping replenish acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that helps your muscles work. Runners tend to carry packets of mustard on long runs....
I've been seen eating tuna right out of the can or pouch with mustard. What about that skinny baked chicken breast that seems a little dry? Mustard!! (skinny= prepared without marinade or many seasonings) Our ClubFit 24hr of Somerset Manager Alex confessed to me he eats it by the spoonful. Gag.
I've been in a situation where I didn't have a low cal salad dressing but I did have mustard. I'm not going to lie- that was not the best use of mustard. But I know that sometimes I binge and one serving of fatty ranch dressing might lead me to eat some chips and salsa and then a bigger helping at dinner. I know my habits so I chose to eat the veggies one by one out of the salad.
Mustard is good. Knowing your habits & tendencies is also good.
The feeling of saying "no" to unhealthy foods soon transfers to a feeling of pride. However saying "yes" equates to guilt and guilt doesn't motivate you.
