Learn to Cook

If you know how to cook you know how to cut back. You save a ton of money and gain control over what exactly is going into your meals.

Plus cooking is super sexy….

Thank you cosmo for that gem. 

Eat more to lose more. 

Starving yourself is not the answer… weight loss does not mean not eating… it means eating right. Eat small health snacks and meals throughout the day. The best quick easy snacks are protein rich like peanut butter, greek yogurt, and cheese. The help increase metabolism and improve muscle building. 

Take a Deep Belly Breath

Do this anywhere, anytime. Push out your bellows and suck air through your nose until your lungs are full. They’ll fill with nitric oxide, a chemical found in the back of your nose that opens up blood vessels. The dose of oxygen will make you feel happier and more alert. 

Thank you doctor OZ

Talk to yourself like you would a friend.

Easier said then done I know, but remember 

Rationalize and gain perspective

Giving up 1 year to change your habits is about 1.2% of your life. Not that hard. Give up one year to make a change and be happy for the rest of your life. 

Out Smart the Label

Please read EVERYTHING. Marketing companies don’t care about our well being they care about our wallets. Just because something says healthy doesn’t mean it is. If a product has the Weight Watchers logo on it it DOES NOT mean that it is endorsed by WW. It means a company bought the rights to calculate points. They food is still jam packed with saturated fats and sodium. 

A supplement will not give you abs, a drink will not turn you into an athlete and an energy bar will not make you run faster… hard work will.

Let’s get smart!

Thursdays are going to be my new health tip day. I am re-vamping my blog to be more organized. Enjoy!
