Eat healthy 80% of the time and leave 20% for foods that you just can't live without (mine happen to be Doritos and French Fries!). A Simple Plan: This might be a big (huge) change for you so start small. If your current eating cycle is more like a 50/50, then take it week by week and improve a little at a time. Week 1: 50/50% use a journal to keep track of what you eat so you can understand the areas you need to improve Week 2: 60/40% Remove one of the unhealthy options from week 1 OR replace it with a healthier option. options might include: replace one soda with a glass of water - eat 2 cookies instead of 5 - replace your evening snack with a cup of decaf tea - replace an unhealthy side with

3 Simple Ways to Lose Weight

I'm going to tell you 3 simple ways you can lose weight, starting TODAY! 1. Eat a healthy breakfast: This wakes up your body and mind. It gets your "engine" going. When your body wakes up and receives the nutrients it needs to begin the day - you will feel better, have more energy, will think more clearly and you will be less likely to "binge" later in the day. Studies show people who eat breakfast are thinner and healthier than people who don't. Some examples of healthy foods: yogurt, fruit and granola | whole wheat bread with PB | whole grain cereal with fiber | egg or egg whites | Fiber bar | Shakeology 2. Reduce (eliminate) your sugar intake: Seriously, cut out the soda and sugary drinks. Drink water during the day. Have your morning coffee, if you need it (without the sugar) and then aim to drink 6-8 cups of water per
