Eat to Health

Five months ago, I embarked on a journey. It led me to a place I never imagined. I decided to try BeachBody {not without reservation} October 2013. Today, I feel amazing! I am unbelievably happy! I will continue to share more about my journey, but today I want to share tips on nutrition. Rule of thumb....put good, clean, healthy foods into your body as fuel. It will yield amazing results when you pair it with exercise.

1. Eat your VEGGIES! ...at least 3 or 4 - one cup servings of green vegetables each day. I do NOT adore salad. I aim for broccoli, zucchini, asparagus, and green beans.

2. Lean protein...4-5 servings. This does not include chicken nuggets from the drive-thru

3. Carb control...Take it easy on the white flours and starchy foods. Steer clear from pastas, cookies, crackers, and white breads.

4. Drink!...Water...at least half your body weight in ounces.  More if you are physically active. Not all at once, but gradually throughout the day.

5. Be active...at least 30 minutes, 5-6 days a week. Pairing nutrition and exercise is key for change!

While this is not the be all-end all list for improving your midsection, it can help reduce bloat and define. I hope this info will help others to start and succeed along the journey to lifestyle changes! I cannot wait to share more about my fitness journey and hope you will join me.
