Want to lose those dreaded love handles or some unwanted body fat? It all starts with small steps let me show you .
Here’s what you SHOULD be eating and doing weekly:
At the beginning of the week, buy:
1. Chicken Breasts: Grill, and then freeze in separate Tupperware so they’re ready to go for each day. It is rally not as hard as you would think. Cook 3-4 times more than you need for your meal. For the next few days you can chop the leftovers to put in a salad, add to a brown rice dish or make a sandwich
2. Vegetables: Peppers, spinach, tomatoes, and carrots make for a great salad. Broccoli, carrots, and celery make for a great snack and appetite suppressant. Put em’ in Tupperware for the week and now you have things to add to your chicken meal.
3. Fruit: take oranges, apples and grapefruit to work for your week. Probably not the best thing to chop up early but if you do, be sure to eat in the next day or two. Bonus tip: sprinkle some lemon juice on apples to keep from going brown.
4. Nuts: almonds, cashews, and walnuts are perfect for a healthy snack. Avoid roasted nuts as they are roasted in unhealthy vegetable oil. And remember portion size. The usual portion of almonds for example is 12 – 14 nuts. Indulge but don’t go crazy.
5. Treat yourself! Choose your favorite meal once a week and to make sure you can stick to the previous 4 items… mark it on your calendar at the beginning of the week. If you get the urge to splurge early recognize you won’t get you r cheat meal. Bummer right?
Work out at least three times per week and set a personal best each work out! On your days off, get in at least 30 minutes of activity.
It really isn’t that hard to make these simply changes. Then in turn you will be able to make greater gains at another level because the leap wont be so huge.
