5 Healthy Eating Tips

Try following these five guidelines to help reduce your body-fat:

1. Eat 5X/day.  Plan ahead and schedule your times to eat.

   Sample:
   7:00 a.m. Breakfast
   9:30 a.m. Snack
   12:00 p.m. Lunch
   3:00 p.m. Snack
   6:30 p.m. Dinner

   *Try following suggestions in the healthy eating plans.

2. Do not eat or drink any calories outside your scheduled times, only water!
3. Drink a consistent amount of water each day. 2-3 Litres is a good range for most people.
4. Write down your food. Keeping a food journal is a good way to monitor your intake.
5. Focus on fibrous carbohydrates and protein during your last meal. Fibrous carbohydrates such as broccoli and cauliflower are high in nutrients and lower in calories.  It is better to have your high calorie carbohydrates during the day because you have time to burn them off.  Protein helps with muscle recovery that happens at night.

*Important: Talk to your doctor before starting an exercise or nutrition plan.
