When grocery shopping, stay on the outer edge of the store. It contains the produce dept., meat dept., and dairy section. The only sections you need!
Don't eat anything from a box!! It is mostly processed junk food (crackers, cookies, etc).
Avoid white products (white bread, white rice, etc.). All of the nutrients have been processed out. Stick with whole wheat products when posible.
Still hungry? Munch on: raw veggies, applesauce, low-fat cereal, V8 juice.
Did you know your body burns calories when you drink ICE water? Your body can burn up to 500 calories a day trying to keep your body temperature up!
Raw vegetables & fruit are high in enzymes that are lost in cooking, so when you can't get enough raw food, take enzyme supplements. Juice plus food supplements are a great source of ensymes and fiber.
Your body absorbs more vitamins drinking skim milk than whole milk.
NEVER go more than three hours without eating something: rice cake, small apple, carrot, etc. . . (6 small meals will keep you feeling full all day).
NEVER use butter, margarine or oil when cooking. Use Bumble & Brown only and use it sparingly!! Use Pam when oil is required.
Try Stir Frying Veggies in: 1/2 cup Chicken Bouillon, 2 TB Soy Sauce & 1 TSP Ginger.
Try cutting your portions in half. You'll be surprised how much less you need to eat to be satisfied. Or try substituting either lunch or dinner with a protien bar or shake.
Do a mock Caesar Salad Dressing by combining: 1/2 cup non-fat Italian, 2 TB lemon juice, 1 TB Dijon Mustard and 2 TB Parmesan Cheese.
Ask yourself how many times have you started a diet & where would you be now if you had just stuck to one of them???
