In our newsletter this week, Linda gave us a list of the things she's doing to see results. We want to hear from you too!
As a reminder, here are Linda's tips again:
1. Eat small, frequent meals & snacks throughout the day.
2. Stay within the calorie range that Nar & Elaine calculated for me.
3 Balance protein & healthy carbs with every meal.
4. Eat at least 4 servings of vegetables and 2 servings of fruit everyday.
5. Get at least 25 grams of fiber per day.
6. Eat whole grains instead of enriched grains.
7. Write down everything I eat & drink in my nutrition journal and calculate my calories.
8. E-mail my nutrition journal to Nar & Elaine, get feedback from them, and incorporate their suggestions.
9. PLAN! One of the most helpful things I've been doing is planning out all my meals and snacks a day ahead of time so that I know I'll get the correct number of calories, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, protein, etc.
10. I got out of the "dieter mentality" and instead started focusing on my health & wellness.
Now it's your turn. Please click on the comments section and tell us what is working for you.
Thank you Linda! This was very helpful. I'm just coming off of two very hectic weeks during which my nutrition goals got off track. It's good to be reminded that this all takes time (LOVE to hear that you've been with AAY for 2 years!). You are always an inspiration to me when you come to the 7-8 class.
ReplyDeleteI put tapatio (hot sauce) on everything. Steamed broccoli--yep, plain brown rice--yep, eggs and black beans--yep!! It makes the most bland food tolerable:)
