Important Tips


-Eating

Eat within an hour of waking up

Eat every 3/3 ½ hours

Listen to your body-if you are genuinely hungry before 3 hours comes, eat the next meal

Every meal should be a balance of a carbohydrates, proteins and fats to put your body in a stable state and speed up your metabolism

On a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the hungriest, you should eat somewhere between 4 and 7. It is not good for your body to be starving

You should never eat until you’re too full

Chew your food…digestion begins in the mouth

Buy your children healthy snacks so you won’t be tempted by unhealthy options

Try not to snack while cooking-put gum in your mouth or something to keep yourself from eating too much

-Hydration

For water-drink at least half of your bodyweight in ounces each day

Make sure you hydrate with water during your workout

Try sticking to water only unless you drink milk with your meal plan

Some water is in fruits, green veggies and soups

Hydration is important in cleansing your body and for weight loss

Coffee is ok in the mornings, but drink an extra glass of water for each cup of coffee…coffee is a diuretic

Only add milk to your coffee…no creamer

Juice contains too much sugar…try to stay away

Soft drinks are BAD for you…stay away from completely whether diet or regular!
