To Lose Weight, Add Things to Your Day

As any of my clients/students can tell you, I'm a BIG proponent of adding things to your day. I hate taking things away as it feels like restriction/deprivation. I love telling people to add food to their meals.

 Whenever I look at a client's food journals, I rarely tell them to take anything out (with the exception of a 6 pack of Coors light and hot dogs for one meal). And yes, that person and I are still friends.

 Instead, I encourage them to ADD things to their day. Now, more than ever, we should be trying to boost our immune system and eat loads of veggies!

 Look at your meals. If they are the same color(beige/brown) I encourage you to add color to your plate. The health people I follow encourage 8-10 servings of veggies a day! If you are struggling to get any in, then add 2 servings at lunch and dinner. Cut up your fav veggie and put into baggies so it's easy to grab for a snack. We all have the time right now to chop our veggies and plan for success.

 The BEST way to get vitamins and minerals into your body is with veggies. Along with your veggies, add a healthy fat like avocado or nuts. The fat helps your body absorb the vitamins and minerals.

 We are responsible for our health every single day. It's our job to take the very best care of ourselves possible. You are worth it! You will feel better when you eat for your health! You are amazing!
