Now that we’re all done with the Superbowl celebrations it’s
time to get serious about getting healthy. I have a few tips that make it easy
to do a little and get big results.
The first thing is easy. Eat a healthy breakfast every day.
Make sure you have at least 20 grams of protein. Avoid starchy carbs. such as
bagels, toast and pastries. My favorite choices are Greek yogurt or cottage
cheese. I use fruit and walnuts to make it taste better.
Make an effort to eliminate excess sugar. The sugar habit is
one of the worst culprits when it comes to weight loss. The good news is that
in a fairly short time you can break the cravings. Like salt, sugar is a taste
you will stop craving if you go without it for a short while. Take a month off
from sweets and you’ll be glad you did.
Drink more water than you are currently drinking. Most
people including myself don’t drink as much water as they should. Many
authorities agree that drinking more water can lead to weight loss and better
health. A good trick is to start first thing in the morning with a big glass
while you get ready. Have a glass before lunch and dinner and your set.
Load up on water based carbs. Try to add veggies and even
fruit into your diet. Veggies have three things your body needs on a daily
basis: fiber, water and minerals. This one thing alone will help you lose
weight and become healthier. You can add veggies as a mid day snack or replace
a starch side dish with an extra vegetable for dinner.
Finally add more movement into your life to boost your
metabolism. Most fitness experts agree that the prescription for exercise is
three to five times per week. Don’t worry this includes walking. Don’t forget
weight training however. Thin and flabby is not a good thing either. You would
be amazed how adding one or two more days a week can be the difference between
gradually losing all the weight you want or just spinning your wheels.
