Spring Slim Down!

Hopefully Spring will actually arrive soon!
In the meantime, it is time to get ready for the shorts and bathing suits!
Have you gained a few extra pounds over the winter and in need of a Spring Slim Down? Here are a few tips to shed a few unwanted pounds:
Start your day with a healthy serving of protein such as a smoothie or egg whites. Protein for breakfast will help to manage blood sugar levels and curb sugar cravings throughout the day.
Try to eat smaller balanced meals every 4 hours. This will also help with blood sugar and will also help to boost your metabolic rate.
Eat your carbohydrates (breads and grains) earlier in the day, lunch is best. This will give the body time to convert the sugar from carbs into energy and you store less fat than if you ate the carbs later in the day. Try to make your carb cut off time 4pm!
Avoid eating in the evening. Try a nice herbal tea in place of the night time snacks.
Increase diurectic foods such as asparagus, spinach, berries and artichokes. These foods will keep your cells hydrated and naturally detox your liver.
