(-most of the time…. hehe)
1. Don’t eat 2-3 hours before bed.
2. Portion size: Eat small meals frequently every 3 to 4 ours. Ex. 9am,12pm, 3pm, 6pm.
3. Sleep- Its been proven that when we don’t get adequate rest we tend to overeat. We have more unhealthy cravings and sometimes end up eating more processed/fattening foods beacuse were to tired to make something.
4. Keep healthy snacks on hand: If you don’t buy it you won’t eat it! And when your on the go and need something to grab real quick make sure there are healthy options. (Usually the healthier items are in the fridge because they are perishable) Also keep dry snacks in your purse such as nuts or a healthy granola bar.
5. Preparation! Prep prep prep! We all have crazy lives and we run out of time. If we prepare our meals and grocery list we will be less likely to go grab fast food or unhealthy food because we don’t have anything in the house…
6. No treats throughout the day: This is the best way for me. I know that if I eat treats through out the day or not, at night time I’m going to still want something yummy! I have learned that I eat less treats if I just eat something small at night. (My favs are the healthy choice fudge bars from Costco)
7. Drink water: Carry a water bottle with you every where you go, stay hydrated. If you feel hungry and don’t think you should be, drink a glass of water!
8. Eat breakfast: It dosent have to be huge. Just something to get your metabolism going.
9. Exercise: Find time to be active! Whether it’s just the simple act of parking further away from the grocery store or work. Walk somewhere to eat lunch, and take the stairs instead of the elevator.
10. Scheduling: This just makes life as a whole a little easier. You know when your meals will be, you can schedule your meals for the week, you can make time in your schedule to hit the gym, etc. If its a priority you’ll make it happen!
Your already looking better by reading this 😉
