When it comes to fitness many think that they can eat whatever as long as they work out. That is a big no. Your body needs certain nutrients and throwing empty calories in thinking that will do it, will actually cause you to retain the fat you are trying to burn! If you are working hard to improve your overall fitness then give your body what it needs. If you have cravings, you are probably missing a nutrient in that food. Eat a healthier option. Here are some tips that will help you.
If you want something sweet get a piece of fruit. The natural sugars will release slowly into your system preventing the spike. It is also less calories. Not to mention the fiber aids in digestion.
If you are going to be out and about take a bottle of water and something healthy like fruit or nuts (unsalted!). Almonds and walnuts are a good choice due to natural appetizer suppressants in them. It will keep you satisfied. Also nuts are a good source of protein and GOOD fats.
If you know you you are going to be out during meal time and won't be anywhere to get a healthy meal, grab a Shakeology. It will provide all the nutrients your body needs and tastes good. It also helps reduce cravings. If you want to find out more about this great product go to Http://myshakeology.com/coachseanx
Try and eat every 2.5 to 3 hours. This will help to keep your hunger in check so that you do not gorge yourself at meal time. Eat slower too. It takes time for the stomach to signal the brain that it is full.
Drink at least 64 ounces of water a day. It helps keep your body in check. If you are sweating a lot then drink more.
Finally Keep a food journal! We can easily over or under estimate our calories. By keeping a food journal you will know how much you have consumed. Even if it is just a stick of gum, LOG IT!
