  • Salad is my go-to lunch when I work (3 days a week). The options are seriously only limited by your imagination. I buy a16 oz containers each of spring mix greens and spinach at Sams and that will get me through the week. Cherry tomatoes won't get anything wet. I cook up different meats to use as toppers. Grilled chicken…
  • You can get a good food scale for about $13 on amazon. Totally worth it.
  • I don't juice but I do at least one smoothie a day. My typical morning smoothie is apple, spinach, english cucumber, thumb of ginger, lemon juice, flax seeds, and about a cup of almond milk. Quick, simple, tasty.

  • This is such an eye opener for me. I didn't realize how much mindless eating I was doing.
  • Have you ever tracked your steps at work? I wear my fitbit and I log over 13,000 steps in a 12 hour shift. I know there are people here that don't think that walking should count but I disagree. Tracking my steps pushes me to increase my movement: walk a spec to the lab instead of tubing it, transport a pt to xray myself…
  • I gave up dairy and cut out processed sugar but honestly the biggest thing for me has been food tracking. If it goes in my mouth, it goes on MFP. It has made me aware of how much mindless eating I really did. And, as everyone has stated above, working at a calorie deficit.
