Balancing Act - Issue 2: Section 6
Here is a sample diet:
6AM Protein shake with a cup of frozen fruit added using water or non-fat milk
9AM 4-6 scrambled egg whites with salsa and chopped veggies
12PM A individual container of Nonfat yogurt with added Stevia to taste and an apple
3PM String cheese and cut up celery, cherry tomatoes, cucumber
6PM 4 oz salmon fillet, salad and steamed broccoli
Usually I stop eating two hours before bed however, if I am still hungry, I will have another protein shake before bedtime.
*Here is where you get to be creative with spices and substitutions. Experiment with different flavors of spices. Not only are spices healthy for you but, some like ginger and cayenne can actually help burn fat!!
*A couple of substitutions I use are sour cream instead of mayonnaise on lettuce wraps.
A tsp of olive oil and vinegar or lemon juice instead of high sugar, high fat
(or unnatural) bottled dressings.
Eating healthy doesn't have to be boring. Find new and interesting flavors and spice up your life.
I always buy my spices in the bulk aisle as that way I only have to buy a little at a time. This way if I don't like it I haven't wasted tons of money and if I do like it, it doesn't sit around getting stale (after a year, spices tend to lose flavor.)
I hope this month will find you getting adventurous with your food, becoming a sister(or brother of iron) and finding a healthier you!
Please remember, you don't have to make all these changes this month. There is no time limit and you are in competition with no one but yourself. Set your own goals with your own time-line and stick to it for you!!!
ALSO, enjoy some sensuous, delicious chocolate this Valentines (Preferably dark which is healthier.) Enjoy treating yourself (just not to the whole box.), a few pieces wont hurt you and it will be added incentive to work it off that night. ;-)
