End of Summer Diet Clean up
Welcome to September! As we mark the end of summer and bbq season, a few of you may be unhappy with the scales! Fall is a wonderful time to get back to a healthy nutrition plan and shed bad habits and extra pounds. Here are a few basic tips to transition back to your healthy routine:
Increase your daily water consumption. 8 glasses a day is recommended to help detox and additional toxins you may have accumulated over the summer. Water will also help manage hunger cravings.
Include lean protein in your breakfast to help stabilize your blood sugar and set you up with energy for your day, a fruit smoothie made with yogurt, egg whites, or nuts and seeds added to oatmeal.
Increase fresh fruits an vegetables not only with your main meals but also as snacks to limit your intake of processed foods. Your daily consumption should be minimum 5, aim for 8-10!
Change your habits, replace your 3pm coffee or cookie with a brief walk or breath of fresh air.
Keep a food log. What you eat and what you think you have eaten often differ!
Schedule a Fall clean up with me and we will work together to create a Nutrition and Lifestyle Protocol just for you!
Get back to the gym and increase your exercise! Maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle is much easier when exercise is part of the recipe.
In good health,
Mary
