Where possible, swap sugary foods for fruit, raw vegetables and other snacks that won’t lead to weight gain. Strict diets often fail because they are so hard to sustain and many people find themselves caving in and bingeing on the very foods that they were trying to avoid. Stock up on whole grains. Have your tried crash diets?

Make it a habit to incorporate at least 5 different coloured foods a day into your diet. For a mid day snack, grab an orange or an apple. This keeps you from getting bored and keeps you motivated to eat well. Growing your own food is a great way to get hands on with your diet. Start a container garden.

When it comes to eating healthy, find the foods you like and implement those into your daily diet. Watch the calendar: Use summer for motivation to shape up but don’t wait for June 21st. Plan to snack: Take snacks (like fruit, nuts or a Balance Bar®) wherever you go to prevent mindless eating. The same goes for exercise.

So the idea of starting to work out to lose weight did not motivate me, but after the initial cleanse helped me lose some weight, I was motivated to change the way I eat to lose weight. I also knew that I couldn’t completely stop from eating all the foods I loved. Eliminate processed foods.

It also makes it hard to snack at work since I don’t want to eat since it smells. The snacking during the day on veggies and protein has helped me lose the most weight when I am consistent with it. I used to not eat breakfast or snacks very much. I need to get back on the lunch track. This seems to come naturally to me.

I bring food to work at the beginning of the week and can snack on it as the week progresses. This week I was really good and weighing myself every day helps me to keep the weight loss fresh in my mind and keep me motivated all day! *. I am going make a point to do what I need to do to eat the food I want to eat while a work.

Look at all of that food! I’m never hungry – even though the Nutrisystem portions are small they definitely fill me up and I can supplement my meals with their unlimited foods like non-starchy veggies. I have really started to like those bags of sweet peppers at the grocery store – I eat them as a snack!

Some of my close friends and family have signed up after hearing me rave about the food and see how well Jamie and I are both doing. I had no idea that Nutrisystem had both shelf stable as well as frozen foods. You can get a basic plan which is just shelf stable foods or add in the frozen foods for a more premium plan.

I wanted to rid myself of all the toxins I had been consuming, plus it was a great way to get myself use to limiting calories, eating healthier snacks, etc. Balance Complete, a super-food-based, daily, superfood energizer and nutritive cleanse. If I got hungry between meals, I would eat a healthy snack (almonds, fruit, veggies).

We started making our own bread, pancake mix, hot chocolate mix, “Swiffer” dusting clothes, lunch snacks (cookies and muffins), bread crumbs, pizza crust, etc. Shop with a list, and not just for food. Meal plan and cook from scratch – I’ll do a weekly meal plan and then only go to the grocery store once.
