Balancing Act - Issue 3: Section 1
Since I loaded you down with a lot of information the first couple of months (and I hope you are being patient yet consistent in your changes). I want to give you time to continue in your progression of diet and exercise changes and focus this month on answering a few questions that many of you have.
I love getting your questions and hearing about your progress. So here we go...
Q I really hate the idea of measuring my food and it isn't very practical when I eat out, any suggestions?
A Yes, here are some guidelines for proper portion sizes:
1 serving lean protein = size of your palm
1 serving of complex carbs from whole grains= size of a tennis ball
1 serving of fruits/vegetables = 1 heaping handful
Q I love nuts and heard they are good for you, can I eat them and still lose weight?
A Nuts can be a wonderful addition to your diet. They are a good source of healthy oils and protein, however do not have too many as they are high in calories and fats. I will have no more than 7 almonds or walnuts a day or 1 tbs of nut butter. Also, please try to eat raw and organic. The heat used in roasting can turn the natural oils rancid and have a negative effect in your body. I like to add chopped almonds in my smoothies or on top of my yogurt. Again, just limit the amount!!
**I never use peanuts or eat peanut butter as they are known to be high in mold content - toxic to the body!! Almond butter is yummy - again try to go organic!
