THE 7 RULES OF WEIGHTLOSS

RULES OF WEIGHTLOSS

1. NEVER EAT AFTER Dinner, if you can shut up your fridge at 9PM

2. MODERATION is the spice of life. Learn to be a conscious eater

3. HYDRATE! HYDRATE! HYDRATE!! Half of the time when we think we are hungry, we are actually thirsty.

4. VEGETABLES are your BEST FRIEND!!! They are very light in calories and very HIGH in Fiber. So EAT UP!!!

5. The less processed the foods you eat, the healthier and thinner you will be. White Flour, Sugar and overly processed foods are not your friend. STAY AWAY.

6. BREAKFAST is the most IMPORTANT meal of the day, so never skip it.

7. FRUITS are our Natural Dessert, learn to cut down your cake and ice cream portions and substitute with natural fresh fruits.

*also for great tips, why not:

1. Drink soup before you eat dinner, healthy soup that is not cream based.

2. Instead of Coffee, why not drink green tea, but stay ways from the sugar and milk though.

3. Eat high-fiber cereal instead of high-sugar cereal.

4. Have a shake for breakfast, why not try strawberries, protein shake and banana.

5. Healthy snacks like air-popped popcorn, almonds, boiled edamame, carrots, cucumber are healthy substitutes for processed crackers, and many more.
