FITNESS DIVAZ's  SUGGESTIONS:
  • ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN- have an idea of what you are going to eat on a daily basis and especially choose to DINE OUT or DURING the HOLIDAYS. Look at menus of restaurants on line and do your best to stick with your 'healthier choices" when you get to the restaurant
  • DECISIONS ON SUNDAYS- make weekly meal decisions and prepare meals on Sundays. Sunday is the BEST day to prepare you ideas and meals for the week. With a little bit of planning, meal time easier than you would expect.  I find that by making healthy decisions on Sundays (especially after a weekend cheat meal or two),  my week of healthy eating is up and ready to go. My mind is now refocused to get back on track.
  • GET MOVING- Including/increasing exercise in your daily routine is crucial to long term success. Find a program that best fits YOUR schedule, this way you will adhere to it. REMEMBER: You wouldn't leave the house without showering and brushing your teeth, so you should never leave your day without doing some kind of beneficial physical activity (unless it is a scheduled rest day)
  • SMALL/FREQUENT MEALS- Plan to eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day. Eating every 2-3 hours (as long as it's healthy, smaller meals) is highly recommended to keep you metabolism burning at efficient rates.
Rules of thumb:
Shop the PERIMETER of the supermarket (produce, meats, dairy- checkout) for the majority of your food items. 
By sticking to this rule (with a couple of exceptions), you eliminate many of the PROCESSED foods that will create a negative effect on your success plan.

Allow yourself a "cheat day" or "cheat meal" a week.  Depending on your goals and personality, if you do this (and stick to it), you should be very successful with your program if you plan to eat healthy 6x a week and allow yourself 1x to indulge. (I'll explain this more in depth during another blog.)
