We all have busy schedules and hectic lifestyles that makes it difficult to eat properly and maintain or loose weight. We sometimes find ourselves with bad eating habits and tend to over snack with foods that are just not good for us.

Well I know what your thinking. I’m not over snacking. I do not eat that many carbs. I work out all of the time. Well I challenge you to take a quick look and be more conscious of what goes into your mouth on a daily basis.

When you sit down and really do the math it may be much easier to see why the weight is not coming off. Indeed it is a challenge as we are all busy, on the go and it is often difficult to find the best foods and snacks available when we are feeling hungry throughout our day. I do not know about you but I tend to eat when I am not hungery at all.

The best way to avoid eating undesirable foods is to prepare foods that boost metabolism and nutrition.

Let’s start off with some snacks that may be of benefit to you. Remember if you are hungry these snacks are not going to hurt you. In fact you will find your metabolism increasing. Choose one: A can of Tuna, Banana, Celery, Watermelon or a Lean and Healthy Soup.

For breakfast choose one of the following: A bowl of oatmeal with ¼ cup of fruit. A egg white omelet. Use as many egg whites as you want. A fruit salad with three types of fruit. A protein smoothie.

For lunch choose one of the following. Grilled chicken, brown rice, salad with balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing. Turkey, brown rice, salad with balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing. Protein Smoothie.

For Dinner choose one of the following. Fish and Steamed Vegetables. Chicken and Steamed Vegetables. A salad with shredded chicken and balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing. Protein Smoothie.

Here is a great smoothie recipe that is very effective.

1 or 2 scoops of Whey

Half cup of frozen strawberries or blueberries

½ teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil, cold pressed olive oil or flax seed oil

½ cup of soy milk and 1 cup of ice water

3 or 4 ice cubes and blend to desired consistency

Here is a few rules to follow. Eat slow and the same time every day. Eat Slow and Sit Down. Plan your meals. Limit your eating out. No late night eating. Cut off is 6:30 PM. You will want to remove the skin from your turkey, fish and chicken.

Stay disciplined. Try it for 6 weeks. Please do not judge your progress until you make it through the six weeks at least. Be prepared to go through a carb withdrawal. That’s right you may feel a little worse before you feel better.  You will get results and you will find the pounds have dropped off and you will have more energy than you can imagine.
