I have completely changed my body with just a couple different eating tricks. I am a firm believer that eating is 90% of what we look like. If I follow my diet, working out is a bonus and that is only for toning. I was working out pretty hard at the beginning of the year, but running around all day chasing 2 kids I found myself needing to eat a lot more and I was getting pretty tired. So I decided that if I work out its a bonus and I am not going to sacrafice my sleep for it or eat more so I have energy to work out. So here is what I eat.
Breakfast
Protein Shake
*protein, water, ice, banana
Lunch
PB&Honey on a whole wheat tortilla
*smear one side of tortilla w/ peanut butter the other with honey fold in half and enjoy
Snack
snap peas, carrots, orange, or apple (these are all great for the digestive system)
*don’t snack on a banana too many bananas will constipate you
Dinner
I either grill, bake or crock pot a chicken breast with wing sauce or Jamaican jerk sauce not BBQ! BBQ too many sugars
Brown rice
Veggie
Desert once a week, Sunday usually.
I don’t eat a lot of sweets.
And I only drink water besides protein shakes.
I take lots of vitamins, prenatal, vitamin E, and I want to start taking Biotin.
My diet it very easy to eat, plan for and shop for. I only grocery shop along the perimeter of the grocery store, with the exception of the baby aisle.
Not too glam, very boring actually, not a foodie, I use food for fuel and energy. The only time I get overly excited about food is when it comes to ribs, Mexican food (Cafe Rio) and ice cream Sundays.
I never buy treats. If I want a treat bad enough, I make it so that I have to drive to get it. And I have found that that is close to never.
If you have any questions please ask. I do this same diet when I am pregnant and nursing I just through in an extra granola bar in there either a mid morning snack or before bedtime snack . And I drink tons of water.
I am very simple and don’t like to stress, especially about eating.
