I am a bit tired of all the low carb enthusiasts trashing fruit. Sorry but a low carb diet is a temporary thing — not a permanent solution.

Reducing your carbs is great — most people eat too much of them but ditch bread, rice, and anything white before you start tossing anything natural.

Fruit is full of vitamins, fiber and phytonutrients. It is also naturally sweet and low in calories. So endulge in some. A cup of raspberries has just 64 calories (with 8 grams of fiber and a ton of cancer fighting ellagic acid)

Wanna blast some belly fat — check your trans fat intake.

Now a lot of things with trans fat are allowed to say “Trans Fat free” because they don’t have much but seriously you should not have any.

Look for words like hydrogenated and REDUCE YOUR PROCESSED FOOD. Whole foods like fruit and vegetables are naturally trans fat free!!!!! So why are you bypassing them for crackers and cookies?

Studies have found that people who worked out every day were more likely to stick to their routine.

NO — NOT THE SAME THING DAILY — but make an effort to do something active every day. Some days the gym, others a hike, others a walk to the store, and on and on the list goes. Just DO THAT activity EVERY SINGLE DAY– prevents procrastination!!

Might sound wrong to tell you to eat at night but if you are a night eater who cannot kick the habit, it is far better to PLAN your night snack and allow for it in your daily calories. A study done at St Louis University found that people who binged at night were better able to control themselves when they ate a predetermined snack 90 minutes after dinner.

A cinnamon scone from a coffee place can have 480 calories. And will it keep you full for at least 1/3 of your day?? Because for most women, that is 1/3 of your entire day. Fir most men, 1/4. You could have had 3 scrambled egg whites, two turkey sausages, 2 pieces of toast and an orange.

Sometimes it is just taking the time to think it out before you reach for that quick easy item.
