costanza;350388 wroteFor snacks have cottage cheese or Greek yogurt or rice cakes or handful of almonds. For meals have chicken breast or fish . For greens have broccoli or kale. For sides have quinoa or sweet potato . At night instead of snacks have protein shake (water not milk)
It takes some discipline but after a decent diet it's HARD to eat shit food
Great post costanza.
Macke, pick and choose from the suggestions below what you think would be the most tolerable.
- eat your vegetables, literally, tons of them
- decrease your portions of meat, and cut down on red meat
- eat out less, especially fast food
- plan your meals and snacks ahead of time [1]
- spices are great for adding flavour, and great for your metabolism
- educate yourself on the nutrition content of what you're eating [2]
- think about how much nutrition you're going to get from something before you decide to eat it [3]
+ play sports
+ walk more
+ spend less time sitting down
1. Having nothing healthy on hand will lead to bad choices when you're feeling lazy. Everyone feels lazy from time to time. I've found when I make one unhealthy choice, it leads to another, and another. Stop the train before it leaves the station.
2. Google "healthiest vegetables"/fruits/meats/carbs/etc and read some simple charts. There's lots of stuff out there listed from healthiest to least. You'll see how good costanza's list is.
3. Not the second before you bite into something. Think about this *when you are deciding what to eat*. Any later than that and it's too late. I've found it helps to think about what you're doing later today and tomorrow. Ask yourself "would I rather have low energy or high energy for that?" and then eat accordingly.
Rome wasn't built in a day. Try to replace your old unhealthy habits one at a time with new healthy ones. I've found trying to change too much at once leads to complete failure.
GOOD LUCK! :D
