Fit Tips
Drink more water-at least 64oz
Go organic!!!! you won't believe what a difference it will make
Pick up the pace and get moving: take the stairs, park you car further away from the door, take the dog for faster walk than normal
Write down what you eat, accountability is key
Enlist the help of a trainer, friend or family member to keep you motivated, supported and on track. plus a little friendly competition is great in training
Lay off those artificial sweeteners, you'll be amazed at how much better you fee and look!
Take your vitamins, everyone should consume a multivitamin daily at minimum
Make healthier eating choices to allow for more overall food consumption but less calorie intake
Eat smaller meals (fist size portions are a good estimate) more often throughout the day to keep your metabolism going at steady rate, and to prevent energy drops and insulin spikes
Aim for 8 hours of sleep a night
Keep your workouts varied so your body is constant challenged and doesn't adapt to prevent plateaus
Don't skip breakfast- get your metabolism started as soon as your feet hit the floor
Stick to shopping on the outside isles of the grocery store where the produce, meat counter etc. is
Keep it slow- don't rush through your weight lifting, hold the contraction for a full second before releasing to better focus the target muscle
Keep that heart rate up during your cardio, aim for 60-85% of your maximum heart rate (220-age= max heart rate)
Go for fresh or frozen canned and boxed items are packed with sodium, sugars and preservatives
Make lower glycemic food choices to prevent insulin spikes
Don't get discouraged, it takes 3 weeks before the average person begins to see changes on the scale. A pound of muscle takes up 20 percent less space than a pound of fat does so judge your success in the way you feel and inches first!
Limit (or even better avoid completely):
-artificial sweeteners (they make you crave sugar, bloat you and are horrible for your entire body)
-alcohol
-fast food
-fried food
-refined sugar
-sodas
-high calorie, high fat creamy, white sauces (mayo, alfredo, ranch, sour cream, cream cheese, heavy whipping cream etc.)
