How are you doing with your program? Look at the tips below and see how you’re doing.
- Eat three good quality meals per day. Fill your plate with lots of protein and veggies. Meals should be centered around a protein source. Protein is important to maintain your body’s muscle mass, for healing and also makes you feel full for a longer period of time. Vegetables also fill you up with very few calories and provide your body with the vitamins and minerals it needs!
- Drink lots of calorie free fluids! Water, water and more water is always best. Try crystal light, decaf tea, and other sugar free beverages. Avoid caffeine and carbonation.
- Don’t snack! Mindless snacking leads to too many calories and can lead you back to bad habits. If you are going long time periods between meals (> 5 hours), try a protein based snack like a string cheese to keep you full!
- Plan ahead always! Life gets crazy sometimes. It’s important to know what you’re eating ahead of time. If you don’t, you’ll end up grabbing something you shouldn’t.
