Why aren't you eating this?

You are hungry, but you are trying to lose weight....what is a B-fitter to do? Follow your checklist! Are you drinking enough water, interval eating every 3hrs, getting enough protein and fiber? You need to fuel your body with energy foods to keep you moving and grooving all day through, and that includes a nutrition plan that satisfies the "hungries"! Get creative with your cuisine and your cravings and waistline will thank you! Losing weight is not about deprivation, but portions, servings, mindfully eating, not grazing, changing old habits into new tasty ones! So stop complaining there is nothing to eat, and start looking at your food differently! Fun ways we are eatng this week to satisfy our salty and sweet side: thinly cut apples to dip into peanut butter that has been warmed in the microwave with a pinch of cinnamon mixed in, hot chocolate, roasted and salted chickpeas, honey butter whole grain toast with raspberries on top, kale chips, roasted vegetables, olives, nuts, sliced oranges, pie apples(microwaved chunked apples with honey and cinnamon), laughing cow cheese as a toast spread, on crackers, or mixed into sauces, pasta and veggies for creaminess without all the fat and calories, soothing cup of herbal tea, steam in the bag veggies(pop in microwave for a quick veggie meal or snack, add olive oil and herbs), popcorn, pretzels, breakfast cookies sweetened with applesauce and tons of oatmeal, nuts, ground flaxseed and cinnamon. See! Eating healthfuly is about a balance between salty and sweet, and filling that need with good food choices! Rework those tastebuds and step into Spring being the beautiful, confident you...inside and out!
