Tuesday TIP - Eat Clean Like a Nutritionist

What does "Eat Clean Like a Nutritionist" mean? What does it look like?



For starters,
Drink water before and after every meal. Drink water between meals. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Get those toxins flushing out of your system, they're better off in the toilet's system!



Secondly,
Avoid starchy carbs. Eat one serving only after a high intensity training session of at least 15-20 minutes. I don't really feel like 15 minutes is even long enough, but 20 minutes is perfect. 30 minutes is better. 40, 50, 60 minutes or even longer means you can definitely have a serving of starchy carbs - cause your body is going to send it straight to repairing your body after being torn down in exercising - which is great! That's where you're body will start to rebuild itself stronger and to be faster.



Thirdly,
Eat at least 1 cup of green veggies three times a day (like breakfast, lunch and dinner). Bonus two you for eating 2 cups!



Fourthly,
Eat meat. If you have the option of choosing starchy carbs or meat. Choose meat.



P.S. Aim for Peanut Butter without sugar. The few the added ingredients the better!
So Fifthly,
Have some healthy fat and calcium in your meals. Healthy fats and calcium help get rid of the flabby fat on the waist, arms, legs, wherever else it may be hiding.

And Lastly,
Avoid Cane sugar as much as possible and limit all the other sweeteners too!

Challenge:
Try 1-2 or even 4 days without any sugar! See what happens! How do you feel?

Which by the way, another thing I am learning to remember to ask myself - after every time I eat something, especially something not "healthy" - "How do I feel? Does my body feel great and energetic or sluggish and blah?"

Listen to your body!

I know it's hard! The past few days I have not done such a great job of that but a new day means a fresh start (even though we still have to deal with yesterday's mistakes).
