32 & in the best shape of my life.

this wasn’t always the case. I spent my 20s yoyo dieting. I wasn’t consistent. I would get to a goal then self sabotage. I thought the answer was elimination diet. Truth is if you remove everything you love then you’ll just go crazy one day. It’s not sustainable. Summer is around the corner. It’s not to late to feel better, look better and have more energy.

Simple things I do that make a huge difference:

Water. Drink it!!! Flavor it. Do what you have to do.

Dehydration can mimic hunger. Your body’s asking for water. You are dry bestie. Drink your water.

Walk. It’s free. You were blessing with 2 working legs. Use them. Weight melted off my body when I consistently got 10,000 steps a day. Stay verticle.

Protein. Make the star of your meals the protein. The absolute bottom line, minimal amount of protein should aim for is 100g a day every plate should have at least 30g!!! 2 eggs are not enough. 2 eggs is only 12g of protein. Loading my plate with protein helps me avoid snacking. I’m full until the next meal time.

Start there. If you commit to those 3 things above you will feel like a new person by summer time.

... Read moreAs summer approaches, many people begin seeking ways to improve their health and fitness. This article discusses practical strategies that can lead to a healthier lifestyle without the stress of extreme dieting. Hydration is paramount for overall well-being; drinking enough water not only helps ward off dehydration but can also curb unnecessary snacking. Experts recommend at least 8 cups a day, but this can vary based on individual needs. Moreover, physical activity doesn't have to be complicated. Engaging in daily walks can significantly contribute to your daily calorie burn, with studies suggesting that hitting the 10,000-step mark can be an effective goal for weight management. Lastly, understanding the importance of protein in your diet is crucial. Aiming for at least 100g of protein daily, with an emphasis on incorporating protein-rich foods into every meal, can enhance satiety and help maintain muscle mass, especially during weight loss. By implementing these simple yet effective habits, you can work toward achieving a healthier and more vibrant version of yourself just in time for summer!
