IT’S NOT
OVER!!!!
There are 2
more weeks before Labor Day and your long summer days and nites are behind us
like the sunset.
But, it’s
not over yet! And it’s not too late to get in shape! Make the most of the time
you have and make it a SUCCESSFUL BEGINNING! The surest way not to fail is to
determine to succeed!
I am giving
you 7day plan to get into shape!
Day #1-
ELIMINATE PROCESSED FOODS
Processed
foods are just plain BAD for you!!! They may taste good in the moment, but
really, it’s CRAP! Eating processed foods only makes your body crave more junk!
Look for fresh fruit and veggies and lean meats, poultry and fish.
Day #2- LAY
OFF THE SAUCE
Alcoholic
drinks are dehydrating and high in calories (yes, even the clear alcoholic
drinks have more calories than h2o!). They also make resisting unnecessary
nibbles incredibly difficult. Did you know that people consume more calories
after drinking than before having had a drink! Shocker!
Day #3- EAT
YOUR FIBER
Don’t forgo
fiber! It’s a source of long lasting satiety. There are many fruits and veggies
that are high in fiber, as well as quinoa, barley, and brown rice. You can even
sprinkle flaxseed onto your yogurt or add some raw almonds to your salad.
Day #4-
BURN BABY BURN
Eating
steadily throughout the day fuels your metabolism and keeps it burning calories
at a steady pace. Eat 3 meals a day (check your portion- it may be too big!)
and 2 snacks (keep it under 200 calories!).
Day #5-
BANISH THE BLOAT
Stick with
water based produce like cucumbers, asparagus, spinach, grapefruit, watermelon,
oranges, and bananas. Eat yogurt, egg whites and cottage cheese. Also, lean
meats, chicken, and fish are great!
Day #6-
FLUSH IT OUT
Drink
water!!!
DAY #7-
PROTEIN IS YOUR FRIEND
A healthy
protein rich breakfast will fill you up and help head off unnecessary snacking
through this final push. Egg white omelets with veggies or nonfat greek yogurt
with fruit are great ways to start the day!
