Balancing Act - Issue 2: Section 5
If you have made the changes from last month and are ready to move on, here is the next step in changing your diet:
WHAT TO EAT
I try to eat 5 small meals a day about 3-4 hours apart. Now this may sound like a lot but mind you these aren.t huge meals. I try to divide my plate into 3 sections with 2/3 of my plate being some form of vegetables and 1/3 being a source of lean protein
PREPARE: You might be asking, "How the heck am I going to eat so often, I don't have time." Well, this is where preparation comes in.
Cook up hard-boiled eggs, buy pre-cut and pre-washed vegetables to take on the go. Buy individual servings of non-fat, no sugar yogurt (which you can sweeten with stevia.) The trick here is packing your meals in a cooler the night before.
You may pay a little extra buying your foods like this but it's cheaper than going out to eat (and healthier.)
Now another trick is the use of protein shakes. My favorite is Jay Robb's Whey. Very yummy, very natural and mixes easily. It is also high in protein (for re-building those muscles) and low in carbs. You can get this off of his site at  www.jayrobb.com or at the Vitamin Shoppe.
* For more ease when on the go or at work get a reusable water bottle, put your measured protein powder in it and when it is time to eat add water and mix. (Again Jay Robb's mixes easily and tastes great-not all protein powders do, trust me!)
