Schedule a weekly cheat meal. I allow myself one cheat meal a week right after my hardest workout and use it as a way to indulge in foods I crave mindfully while still staying on track. While some say a cheat day I stick to only one meal.
Prepare for heavy meals. When I know I'm going out for dinner, where I'll probably want to eat extra calories, I eat lighter meals throughout the day, like a smoothie for breakfast and a salad for lunch. Just make sure you are careful, and that you are counting them calories.
Add more lean protein. Lean protein helps you stay fuller longer; it has the amino acids that are the building blocks for muscle. Turkey, Chicken and Fish are good.
80/20 rule. Make 80 percent of the food you eat healthy and take 20 percent of your daily calories and make them fun." Otherwise, you'll feel deprived, and more tempted to go off the deep end.
Write down what you eat. Keeping track of what your eating helps keep you accountable. I use the Samsung health app. I LOVE it!! If you have this app and me as a friend, if not download it now and add me as a friend. Lets challenge each other! Just copy my QR code and scan it in to add me😁
Drink plenty of water. This is very important. Drinking water before meals can help you from overeating. Feeling hungry between meals?? try drinking water with lemon it helps to satisfy that hunger feeling.
Choose healthier snacks. Stay away from prepackaged snacks, instead try fresh fruits, vegetables, homemade protein balls, or turkey and cheese roll-ups.
Add fiber to you diet. Fiber aids digestion, this will help with weightloss. To get the fiber benefits you need 14 grams per 1,000 calories. Good fiber sources are oatmeal, beans, whole grain foods, nuts, and most fruits and vegetables.
Eat more salad. Have a healthy salad for dinner at least 4 times a week. Add baked or grilled chicken. Try our recipe for Moms Salad .
