This is your year of SMALL CHANGES, BIG RESULTS!

Your best body doesn't come from not eating carbs for the next 3 weeks to find yourself cranky, depressed and dreaming about robbing a bakery....

 

It comes from small changes overtime that will, we repeat WILL produce results.

BUT you have to adopt these new changes and stick with them. SO let's start here with 5, that's right, just 5 steps to your best healthy self.

 This year let's

 B-FIT4U!

 

1. eat in moderation. look at the serving size on a label and stick with it. don't feel guilty for having chips every once in awhile, BUT do stick to the serving size and you can have those chips!

2. vegetables...eat them, embrace them and put them everywhere and anywhere you can, in your eggs, in a baggie to munch on during your commute, even munch on a plate of them while you're cooking dinner. but eat them, as no one ever got overweight eating a veggie, and duh, they are really good for you!

3. eat a variety of foods. you don't want to miss out on any essential nutrients that will keep your body healthy and strong. don't leave out fruits, veggies, complex carbs or protein. variety is the spice of life!

4. don't skip your carbs. everything in moderation and you need those complex carbs to give you energy! so no skipping certain food groups! but remember multigrains are best and stick to a serving!

5. Sleep. get it anyway you can, but take time to relax, breathe and get those zzzzz's! this is one of the key ingredients to battling those cravings for salty and sweet, no good for you snacks. so no excuses, turn off those electronics and go to bed!
