Substitute for something better!

Something I hear often from others is "I work out all the time but don't feel like I'm getting any results or that it's doing anything for me".

My response-



What is your Diet like?


Dieting plays a major role in the results you will have if your personal goal is weight Loss. In fact roughly 80% of your results will come from what you are eating at home. Another misconception? Healthy food doesn't taste as good, or it's too expensive- WRONG! :)
There are SO many alternatives when it comes to switching from unhealthy to healthy dinners. Look up recipes; you'd be surprised. A personal example that healthy food can taste good- I told my boyfriend I was grilling burgers for us for dinner a few nights ago. I used ground turkey for the meat instead of hamburger meat. Ground turkey is a healthier alternative to hamburger meat and tastes awesome with a little seasoning! He loved the burgers! Eating healthy does not mean buying all organic foods. You can buy healthier meats such as ground turkey like I do, or substitute your cereal in the morning for a bowl of oatmeal. It's a good idea to hire to a nutritionist or fitness professional to help with this. Proof that dieting plays that major of a role in your weight loss: My sister gained weight during her pregnancies. She has been on a very strict diet and has lost 22 lbs in three weeks without working out (she couldn't because of her calorie intake). Dieting DOES work. A lot of people don't have the knowledge when it comes to proportions, or what is good from bad, so again, hiring a nutritionist or a fitness professional who can help you with this is not a bad idea! You can workout all you want- but if you aren't watching what you eat you will NOT get the results you want!!

Tips for the day

•  First and foremost- Avoid processed foods. You have no idea of knowing what goes into processed foods. Cook yourself!!! You know every single thing you are putting in there.
• Buy whole grain foods -Pastas, breads, etc.
• Avoids foods with Hydrogenated oils- These oils are not natural. They are man made. Natural is always better!
