Hey folks I need some advice from you. I need to loos a few pounds so I´d like to know what your typical meal looks like.
Eat more beans & lentils.
Make interesting salads (Add things like tuna, beans, berries, apples, eggs, etc. to a) get proteins and b) keep it interesting. Eat said salads as the entire meal.
As much as possible, start your day with exercise and a healthy breakfast. Makes the whole day healthier and better.
Shop for groceries right after exercising, so that you think "I better not waste what I just did by eating crap"
When you have a sweet craving, eat cereal. Salty craving - pita w/ home-made hummus, whole grain crackers with all-natural peanut butter, etc.
Get in the habit of purposefully walking down the crap aisle in the grocery store (chips/coke/candy) and not taking anything off the shelf.
Yesterday lunch I mixed up a quick salad of chopped apple, kidney beans, hardboiled egg, some snap peas, a bit of sharp cheddar and some red onion. Mixed up a quick (yet healthy) yoghurt/dijon mustard dressing and loved every bite.
p.s. good on everyone that's sticking to a program that works for them here. It's kept me honest a few days this winter to read some of the successes.
Now off to play some squash - Possibly the best cardio I can recommend, even when I run, bike, swim, and play soccer the rest of the week...
