30 tips in 30 days. Get better health, and see better results.

Did you know that vitamins can help you shed some weight? It’s true.

According to the British Journal of Nutrition, they studied some overweight women and found that if they added 13mg of calcium as a vitamin to their diet every day, they lost 13 more pounds in 15 weeks, than women who were taking a placebo.

The calcium helps you feel fuller, so you don’t overeat. So think about adding vitamins and some calcium to your daily diet regime.

Tip #13: Train Your Brain to Lose Weight.

 30 tips in 30 days. Get better health, and see better results.

My dad always used to say, “Baby, your eyes are bigger than your stomach.”  He was right. Now I know better, and how to train my brain.

Here’s a great tip, to trick your brain: use a blue plate.

It’s true.  The color blue will help trick your brain to not want to sit and linger. You’ll eat less.

Ever wondered my so many fast food places use warm colors like: red, brown, orange, gold and tan? Comfort colors go hand in hand with quick and easy comfort foods. They want you to order more and hope your eyes are bigger than your stomach.

Your new blue plate will help you to think and feel satisfied, so you won’t go back for seconds.

 

Next, choose a 9 inch plate instead of the 10 or 12 or 16 inch plate. These giant, platter size plates just make you want to fill them up, and eat more than you need.  

So go blue.  Train your brain. Shrink your plate, and shrink your waist.

Transform Yourself.

Tip #12: Transform Family Recipes, and Lose Weight.

30-tips in 30-days. Get better health, and see better results.

I love traditional family recipes, but I don’t like all the extra calories. So today, I’m going to share with you a couple of easy tricks you can do to make family favorites healthier, and taste great.

3-ticks to save calories, and not skimp on taste:

  1. Use broth for sautéing instead of butter. You can use organic chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth.  Pour a little in your pan instead of butter. Your family will not know the difference.
  2. Swap out your high fat mayo, for a reduced fat mayo.
  3. My last tip is to use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.

Save yourself, and your family some unwanted calories, and slim down in the process.

Your heart health is very important. One very simple thing you can do is choose foods that contain Omega-3 Fatty Acids.

If you ate fish, we’ll just say salmon, once a week; studies have shown it can reduce the risk of a fatal heart attack by as much as 40 percent.

Bottom Line: Make one of your weekly meals a fish meal.

Tip #10: Canned or Frozen. Which is better for your health and weight loss?

30 tips in 30 days. Get better health, see better results.

I want to talk about which is the better choice when you can’t get fresh fruits and vegetables.

Q. Canned or frozen?

A. Frozen is going to be the better choice.  There’s less preservatives. The food is  typically flash frozen right out of the field, so you’re still getting as many of the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that that plant or fruit is going to provide you.

But fresh is always better.

We’re going talk to you about starches. Starches can actually help you in your weight loss if you choose low glycemic starches, such as whole wheat pasta.

You want stay away from the processed starches because they tend to put you into a fat storage, rather than get you into a fat burn. So whenever you have a chance, go for the grains, and whole wheat pastas are much better choice.

Tip #8: Crazy Busy Days, and Weight Loss.

Just because you have a crazy lifestyle, doesn’t mean you have to resort to fast food.

If you know you’re going to have a crazy day, plan ahead of time. Prepare and plan not just for you, but for your family. Shop bulk and cook on Sundays.

What we typically do on Sunday is grill a few days’ worth of chicken, and prepare all the salad fixings so they ready to go.

If you are in a pinch, instead of running into a fast food place, hit your grocery store. Pick us a rotisserie chicken, and grab a bag of lettuce. Head home with some healthy choices for your family.

 Just because we’re busy, doesn’t mean that we can’t eat good healthy foods.
