Eating Right

Everyone out there has at some time struggled with their weight. It's a hard thing to get through, if you can even figure out how to in the first place. For starters, remember that diet is 90% of weight loss. The other 10% is exercise. (At least it is in my book.) These are my tips and tricks that I have found that have worked the best for me throughout the years: -Try your best to have a good fat, a good protein and good carb at each meal. Some of you are probably wondering, what in the world are those?

GOOD FATS: Avocados, olive oil, olives, nuts or peanut butter. Keep in mind if you do the peanut butter, you will want to pick an all natural one.

 GOOD PROTEIN: Think lean! Fish, chicken, turkey and lean red meats are all fantastic sources of good proteins.

 GOOD CARB: Whole wheat bread or pasta, quinoa, wild rice, brown rice and beans are all excellent carbs to incorporate into your diet.

 If you are still hungry after that, fill yourself up on vegetables. They are packed full or vitamins and nutrients and low in calories, but are still very filling. Eating a good balanced meal will help your body thrive. You will have more energy and loose a few extra pounds on top of that. One last thing, don't drink your calories! Its a complete waste and will never keep you full and satisfy.  Try your best to aim to drink 64 oz. of water or more each day. It will do you wonders!
