I've been slake on posting about the days but I've been doing my best to keep up with them here's a brief overview of days 16 -20
Day 16-- Calculate your BMI ... then work with that number
loosing 5 % of your body weight will improve your bodys ability to use insulin.
loosing 11 % of your body weight can help lower blood pressure
Day 17-- Tweak your daily routine...
A few small steps can make a differance
eat a snake post work out a yogurt or hard boiled egg crucial for helping repairing muscle tissue
if the ac/heat isn't on OPEN a window---You'll be amazed how much the fresh air helps.
Day 18-- Pass the POPCORN you can eat 9 potato chips or #cups of air-popped popcorn. This has become my GO TO snack during American Idol =)
Day 19 -- Pack a Smarter Lunch. I don't pack a lunch but I can still follow the rules and I've worked them into my kids lunches as well.
Very your Veggies...When your given a choice even a meaningless we value the outcome---pack two or more you'll up the odds of picking one =)
Think Small...surve in small containers
BEWARE OF LOW-FAT... watch the serving size our minds think low fat so sometimes we eat more!
Day 20 --Automate Your Breakfast. Its been shown that people who had at least a 30lbs weight loss for a year tended to consume a very limited variety of meals. This has been a tough one for me...I mixed it up between three things and worked a rutine out--I cannot eat a banana smoothie and greapefruit EVERY morning! I've stuck with the smoothie but change that up, and on Sundays I make a loaded eggwhite omelette.

That's really an interesting fact at the end, that people who eat less variety lose more weight. This is a little off topic but the oldest man to live was 150 (a long time ago) and he ate the same thing every single day. Good luck with your plan!!
ReplyDeleteI have rebooted my get rid of baby weight diet. I too find automating breakfast hard. I always have different cravings in the morning.
ReplyDeleteYour breakfast gave me an idea for dinner. May be I should have smoothies in the evening! Will try it out and let you know what happens. Hope all is well with you!
