If you know me, you know I do not like the word DIET. Diet implies restricting all the ‘good’ stuff & feeling hungry all the time. NO FUN!

 

So how can you eat healthily & maintain your nutrition goals without feeling hungry?


Here are 7 simple TIPS:


1. Do not cut out carbs. Carbs don't make you fat. They give you energy to perform your exercise routine, they taste good, and you'll get worse results without them.

 

2. Your second biggest nutrition priority is protein intake. Without enough protein you will lose fat and muscle. Focus on protein-rich foods such as: Chicken, Turkey, Eggs, Shrimp, Tuna, Greek Yogurt, Salmon.


3. Eat the same meals most days. This cuts down on prep time & keeps last-minute decision-making at mealtimes to a minimum. A sure-fire way to make good food choices!


4. Speaking of meal prep… Plan your next day's meals the night before. It only takes 90 seconds & it removes all the guesswork.


5. Include foods that you love. If you don't enjoy what you are eating, it will be difficult to maintain healthy choices for the long term.


6. Many people struggle with late night snacking. The best way to combat it- Remove temptation from your house- if snacks are handy, you will eat them!


7. Track your food intake for 2 weeks. You might be surprised at not only what you are eating, but how much you are eating. Understanding your daily intake & portion control is key to maintaining healthy nutrition.


Lastly, do not look for magic, quick fixes. The key to successful nutrition is to create daily habits & maintain consistency. Start by practicing these 7 simple nutrition tips.


Here’s to your health!
