Foods that Keep you Fuller Longer

Did you know your body burns and digests foods at different rates.
One of the best foods for keeping you fuller longer and giving you energy is cheese. Cheese is full of protein and actually keep you fuller longer. Yes it is fattening!... But with the right amount this is a great choice to give your body some energy that it needs.
Celery is also another one. Celery is a great source of fiber and your stomach works on digesting it for a lot longer than most foods, which keeps you feeling full longer. It is also very healthy and really counts for no calories, so eat as much as you like!!
Oatmeal is one of my favorite choices in the morning, and it keeps you full and satisfied for hours to come. Eat it with raisins or dried cranberries instead of brown sugar. A GREAT choice!

Eggs have been called the "perfect protein food" well thats because they pretty much are. A study has found that people who eat more eggs or a higher protein diet, stay fuller longer and actually ingest less calories per day.
Beans are another winning choice. They are very high in  protein and are slower digested.

Try incorporating theses foods into your diet to see if you notice a difference. You should have more energy and be eating a lot less!

Step and Sculpt

Ooo I loved this class tonight! I have honestly never been to a step class before but I decided I needed to do something different for once. I had been to some other classes before offered at the rec center, but they weren't as high impact as I was looking for. But tonight was different! I had such a good time, loud music and a fast paced. I am actually soar already. I had to stop a few times and catch my breath., but I really had fun. I cant wait until next Monday!

Don't Believe the Hype!

Something is bothering me out there....
All this hype about weight loss products. "try our special cleansing tea" or "Weight loss pills" or "vitamins that help you lose weight".

Let me tell you, DONT BUY THIS STUFF!! You are wasting your money. Being slim and fit, shouldn't cost you anything more than regular living. In-fact should and could possibly cost even less!
If you want to so called "cleanse yourself" Drink WATER! I mean carry a water bottle around with you everywhere you go and drink 5 full water bottles! Drink Green tea. In fact even drinking black tea will help cleanse you, but of course with no sugar in it. EAT YOU VEGGIES. natural raw foods help you lose weight by regulating your metabolism. You should be intaking enough fiber daily to keep you regular. Also drinking water will help with that too. You should honestly be going #2 when you wake up or very close to that time, every single day, the green tea I promise will help with that. LOL

So don't buy into this Herbal Life stuff, or whatever else is out there trying to rip you off. Promise me, you can do without these products.
If you honestly would like something to boost your metabolism in a pill form the only thing that is going to work are Wake up pills and Ephedren with ASA.  BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS. AND if you stop taking them you will lose your natural metabolism and even put on more weight than before!
it is best to train your body the natural way. Give yourself love :) and healthy food, exercise and plenty of water.

To Lose Weight AVOID SUGAR!

Watch that sugar intake! In order to have your metabolism working properly and most effectively you have to avoid sugar as much as possible.You might not realize it but sugar is in pretty much everything. Even something salty can have lots of sugar in it.  I have a major habit of reading ingredients on everything I buy. If sugar is one of the first three ingredients on something thats not candy, or meant to be sweet then I won't buy it. Watch closely with cereals. Another one to watch is granola snack bars. Those things are so packed with sugar, you might as well eat a chocolate bar. I choose cereals like plain Rice krispies  or Cheerios. For a bit of sweetness I go for the Multi grain Cheerios. You should never be eating something filled with sugar first thing in the morning or really ever in fact. Here is a great article on how sugar effects your metabolism, and how your body processes it.
