Have you been working out hard at the gym and watching what you eat but have stopped seeing the weight come off? Maybe it is time to take a deeper look into your healthy habits and make some more changes in order to keep changing your body and your weight.
- Fiber
- To help slow the absorption of sugar, load up your plate with high-fiber foods. Foods high in fiber are also more nutritious and lower in calories, so it will you help feel more full after your meal.
- Whole Foods
- Get into a habit of focusing on eating only whole, raw foods instead of low-calorie convenience foods. Real foods are easier to digest and more satisfying than processed foods.
- Protein
- Space your protein intake out throughout the day and try to consumer 25-35 grams about every 4-5 hours.
- Water
- Aim to drink at least half your body weight in water each day, in addition to an extra 30 ounces for every hour you exercise. Carry a water bottle around with you as a constant reminder to drink throughout the day.
- Calorie Goals
- The more weight you lose, the more you need to adjust the amount of calories you are consuming as well.
- Empty Calories
- While it is OK, and encouraged, to enjoy your favorite treats, it is easy to lose track of how often you are consuming them. Keep track of how many times a week you are eating desserts, wine and sugary coffees. Try to keep it to only 1 or 2 times a week.
- Food Sensitivities
- It is not uncommon to feel bloated and have extra water weight if you are experiencing a type of food sensitivity. If you often experience gas, bloating, nausea or fatigue, it is worth looking into if you have a food allergy or sensitivity to something that you eat on a regular basis.
