_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
EveryBODY is different and we all have our own likes and dislikes when it comes to eating, but one thing for sure is that we all have the same goal. Lose the weight for good! If you're like me, you are so tired of every little nickel and dime you've spent on trying the newest, latest and greatest fad diet. I guess that's why I wanted to do something for everyone and have it not COST us anything - well except our time and commitment. Just a little friendly challenge that helps to motivate may just be the way to go!
Here are a few TIPS that are tried and true. For those who asked about ideas of sample breakfasts/lunches I'll include easy ideas - but I encourage you to make it your own. Often a busy lifestyle schedule during the day can preclude us from good eating practices and missing or neglecting both of these meals can plummet your metabolism in a NY minute! Your Mama wasn't joking when she said, "Eat your breakfast!" and "Eat your Vegetables!" These two basic rules are good ones to keep around.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
TIPS;
TIP 1. NEVER SKIP BREAKFAST AND EAT EVERY 2-3 HOURS! To keep the (fire burning) and your metabolism revved up try eating at least every 2-3 hours. (Breakfast, am snack, Lunch, pm snack, Dinner).
TIP 3. EASE UP ON HIGH CARBS, REFINED SUGARS, FLOURS AND HIGH SUGARY DRINKS!
TIP 4. ENTER IN LEAN PROTEIN AND LOTS MORE VEGETABLES!
TIP 5. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER!
TIP 6. TRACK EVERYTHING ON YOUR MYFITNESSPAL JOURNAL!
TIP 7. MOVE MORE AND MORE. Maybe it's just a walk around the block or chair aerobics, and every week challenge yourself to move just a little more than before.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
MEAL IDEAS;
BREAKFAST: Protein Smoothie (whey protein, raw spinach, raspberries, unsweetened almond milk, stevia)
A.M. Snack: Raw Veggies, Hard boiled Egg
LUNCH: Chicken Caesar Salad (watch out for dressings and croutons that add so many calories) I always order dressing on the side and eliminate it all together. Sometimes a nice vinegar and oil is a great option.
P.M. Snack: Granny Smith Apple, 1 tablespoon of peanut or almond butter.
Dinner: Baked Salmon (wrapped tightly in foil at 400 degrees) Add Asparagus and Zucchini, slices of a lemon, fresh dill and brush salmon lightly with grape seed oil. Salt and Pepper to taste and cook for 25-30 minutes.
