Learning How To Eat Well…and Love It At The Same Time!

In order to reach your fitness goals, you need a good steady and consistent workout plan, but that doesn’t stop there. We also all need to change the way we eat. Now living in San Antonio, I myself know it’s hard to do with these great Tex mex restaurants all over the city. Your workout maybe for an hour or so but food is everywhere and all around us for the next 23 hours of our day...correct?

We know from experience that diets do NOT work! Maybe for a little bit but then what happens after all is said and done…rebound! It has to be a complete lifestyle change!

We all need to get to a place that we are comfortable enough to have BALANCE! No counting macros, no binge dieting, or no counting calories. Learn what you need to know to lose the weight, or gain muscle to buckle down when needed, and then give yourself the freedom to eat as normally as well too. It is possible to pair your workouts with a doable nutrition plan to really help you reach your goals for good.  Let’s stop crash dieting and really make lasting changes for yourself and your family.

But how do you eat in order to look great, feel great, AND still enjoy life? Learning the basics is key as well as allowing yourself some leeway.

3 BASIC WAYS TO EAT RIGHT AND STILL HAVE BALANCE

1. Learning what to eat and start making swaps. (example…my family loves spaghetti, so instead of making pasta with beef, use squash for the noodles and swap the beef with lean turkey)
2. Learn how many calories to eat. There are tons of apps out there that can help with this. Download one, then insert your food intake and it does it for you! Easy enough…right!
3. Become protein minded. It’s always good to have protein with every meal. Even if it’s just for a snack
