Hope everybody had a fabulous Tuesday. I spent the day with my son at the the salon talk about a stressful day, thank goodness I have very patient clients!! Let's get to to today's topic: Clean Eating. Many of us have a different outlook on what we think clean eating actually is. If I talk about my "diet" the first question I get asked is "why are you on a diet?" So I have learned to explain my "diet" as clean eating instead of dieting. Let's be realistic diets don't last forever but if you choose a clean healthy lifestyle that can last forever. Clean eating does not mean going to McDonalds and ordering a snack wrap. A clean and healthy lifestyle means more fruits,veggies,and meats. When you go to the grocery store think stay away from the ailes. Stay away from processed foods as much as possible. There are many more key points to clean eating and non processed foods but we will just start here first. Once you slowly limit process foods you will start noticing your weight dropping. Eventually you will plateau and that's when you need to start tweaking your daily food intake with things such as how many carbs are you eating? How late are you eating carbs. Once you get your eating down then the workouts began but not going to touch on that subject yet, because you can do tons of cardio and never change the way you eat and you will never see your body change that's just how it is. Diet and exercise go hand in hand.
My healthy style of eating is the Paleo plan. Paleo is non processed foods, meats veggies fruits no legumes or grains. Some people choose to do strict Paleo which limits dairy. I have chosen to do dairy and when im working out hard I actually like to have oatmeal or grits for breakfast on my high carb days. Typically in a week right now trying to lose my baby weight I do 2 low carb days and 1 high carb day this way the carbs shock the body when u go back to your low carbs it kicks back up and starts burning fat and calories again.
Start taking baby steps towards Paleo diet do not try to do it all at once because more than likely you will fail and also you will feel weak and tired because your body has been so dependent on sugar!!! (Our enemy) Staying fit is about 70-80% diet and 20-30% exercise so lets get our eating in check before we get fitness in check. Once your diet is under control you will have twice the amount of energy to workout. Alllll natural energy no red bull needed.
"6 out of 10 Americans have given A LOT of thought to their diet and exercise"
