Swap your breakfast for a protien packed smoothie. I love starting my day with a blend made with Avocado, Berries, Coconut Water, Spurilina & Kale ect. This provides you with the essential fuel and fibre until your next meal without making you feel hungry.
Eat Real Carbs: Replace refined carbs (white bread, pasta, cereal, bagels ect ) with complex carbs like Fruit, Veg, Legumes, Wholegrains, nuts and seeds. Fruit and Veg are high in fibre , which slow down digestion and promote stable blood sugar levels.
Drink Water: Hunger can be confused with dehydration. So limit soda, booze & caffiene, drink 2 glasses of water before meals to zap the hunger pain, and have a glass of water instead of a snack.
Choose Healthy Fats: The body utilizes dieatry fat for energy, health of hair, skin, nails, vitamin absorbtion, and normal function. Good fats promote several health benefits, protect against heart disease, cancer and lower blood pressure. Fab sources of good fat include avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil and fish.
Emphasize Lean Protien: Our bodies require protien to continually renew and replenish our cells, stabalize our blood sugar, and give us energy. Our bodies are made up out of amino acids that make up protien in our food. The best sources are fish, eggs, beans, nuts, seeds, and little amounts of free range chicken, grassfed beef and lean turkey.
Move your body: Daily movement boosts your mood, decreases body wieght, lowers heart rate, shrinks the stomach and gives you a good glow.
Keep Track of meals choices and balance calorie intake. Plantbased foods are packed with nutrients and have lowest calories density which also curb cravings for sugar. The more the merrier
Learn to cook. Home cooking allows you to control your portion sizes and quality of ingredients.
Get you ZZZ: Less than 5 hours a sleep at night can cause wieght gain. It can lead to inefficient body regualator of energy balance, metabolism and appetite. Sleep more= Eat and Weigh less
Be a Food Detective: Keeping track of what you eat encourages you to choose healthier options and think twice about the twix bar 😉
