Along with exercise I know that I need to work on my diet and just eating healthier overall. I found a few key tips that Web MD posted so they must be true right?
1. Drink more water! -I know I rarely drink the correct amount and water fills up that hole in your stomach that you try to stuff with cinnamon buns!
2. Keep eating your favorite foods- Any diet plan I have used that told me to cut out all the delicious things I love has lasted roughly two weeks. Keep eating your favorite foods; just try to keep it under control by eating smaller portions.
3. Eat mini-meals-Eating 4-5 small meals or snacks per day is proven healthier than three square(large) meals a day.
4. Protein, protein, protein! -Protein is more satisfying than carbohydrates and when combined with exercise preserves muscle mass and encourages fat burning. Some sources of protein are cheese, nuts, beans, and yogurt. WORD TO THE WISE-Almonds are delicious and a great filler but too many is detrimental!!!
5. Make a Swap- I know that I love my pasta y'all but a great tip I heard was to swap out that cup of pasta for a cup of veggies!
