Eggs: Average 6 gms of protein in egg and only 4 gms of fat and 30 calories. It is known to control your cravings all day! Hint: Protein does that!
Salad: Make and eat a good salad before your meal. Cut the pieces into small bite size morsals and look for a low fat dressing that you like. I like to dip my salad into my dressing. That way I get what I like on the bite!
Apples: An apple a day keeps the doctor away...Great Preventive Medicine Food. It has 3 gms of fiber and also pectin (which is know to stabilize blood sugar). So this is the perfect snack for the midafternoon cravings.
Green Tea: Did you ever see a fat Japanese person? They drink green tea daily. This speeds up metabolism and helps burn fat. Have a hot cup of green tea for breakfast instead of coffee. You'll get the hang of it soon and eventually wont miss the Joe!
Grapefruit: Remember the grapefruit (diet)? A study showed that if you ate even 1/2 of a grapefruit before meals (or drink the juice) - it increases metabolism and weight loss (and appetite). See Florida is good for something!
Lean Beef: We are back to the importance of protein. Remember the high protein diet (I loved that one! Steak all the time!) amino acids(aa) are necessary for body building (and muscles) so this goes go with the exercise routine that you just started - right? It has Leucine (an aa) that helps you lose weight without losing muscles.
Hey are you hungry? Lets go eat lunch!
