Healthy Eating Tip!!

Rather than worrying about eating less, we should start to focus more on eating foods which our bodies can use to build and repair.

Here are 5 steps to get started:

1. At breakfast switch your cereals for either eggs, Porridge or a smoothie.

2. At lunch trade out your sandwich and replace it with a soup or salad that is mostly vegetables, meat or a combination of both.

3. For snacks lose the crisps, scones, and chocolate and replace them with fruits, vegetables, proteins.

4. Replace all beverages with water, herbal tea, or the occasional coffee.

5. Make sure you are eating frequent enough according to your needs. If you burn calories you must refuel, starving yourself is not a good approach for fat loss.
