With the end of summer coming upon us (where did it go?) it is a reality that eating healthy gets a little harder. Don’t get me wrong, it always takes planning to be successful no matter what time of the year it is. However for those of us that are starting back to work or heading back to school, our schedules tend to get a little harder to work around.
Here are some great tips that you can follow to help keep yourself on track. I guarantee that these tips will work. They were fail proof when tested by yours truly. First thing that you want to do is, pack your food for the day! This doesn’t just mean lunch! You will have every meal in your bag outside of your Dinner. Plan on eating 5-6 times a day ( staying inside of your calorie range). My bag looks a little something like this. Oatmeal and cooked egg whites, almonds and fruit, chicken, rice and zucchini for lunch, and fruit protein shake.
Next thing that you want to do is before you pack that cooler measure out your food. This seems to be a step that my clients avoid the most. Don’t let the idea of measuring and weighing your food overwhelm you. Realistically, you do it anyway every time you serve your food. Here is an easy tip. Instead of scooping rice or pasta with a serving spoon use a half cup measure with a handle. When a cooked chicken breast is cut in half that is almost always 4 oz, and as for veggies, have as many as you want, minus the butter. Use olive oil from a spray can instead.
Lastly eat every two to three hours. I will use the analogy of a headache. Girls you know what I’m talking about especially around that time! If you take pain medication when you feel the headache coming on, you can stop the pain altogether, or make it greatly subside. Now if you wait until you have a full on headache you will be popping pills like an addict and using every other trick in the book to get your head to stop pounding! Thats because you let the symptoms go for too long until you are over your thresh hold. Preventative measure is always best.
Eating is the same way. If you eat something when you feel a little hungry, then your blood sugar levels out, you skip the hunger pangs and you don’t eat a whole pizza at lunch or the end of the day. Now if you wait until you are starving to eat, the same thing happens as with a headache. Once you are too far gone, those hunger pangs are so bad, you will eat a cow if you have to until you feel satisfied. Obviously this is overeating. Don’t go the headache route! Eat a little at a time and keep yourself from losing control!
Follow these few things and back to school and back to work will be a little easier to handle. By the way, you will be impressed with how much your mood improves when you are properly fed!
Then you’ll be ready for a butt kicking workout!
I’ll have more tips for you soon!
“Be a fighter!”

This is definitely a blog that people need to get behind. The problem is, no one wants to do a great deal of reading and not have something else to stimulate the mind. This is the internet, after all. Maybe if you added a video or two to emphasise your point. Ill stick around, FOR SURE. But, I dont know if others will.
It’s everything here exactly what I was looking for
