WHEN IT COMES
TO WEIGHT LOSS,
CHANGING YOUR BODY
IS AS IMPORTANT AS
CHANGING YOUR MIND.
Without learning new habits, any weight that you lose could be gained back
if you slip back into the old habits that caused you to gain weight in the first place.
The best place to get started is in the kitchen.
Learning about fueling your body the right way and the importance of protein,
carbohydrates and fat can make a huge impact in your journey to looking and feeling better!
THE POWER OF PROTEIN.
Protein is a big player in our health and wellness and makes up much of your muscles,
brain, nerves, hair, skin and nails. It is also a huge player in weight loss.
DID YOU KNOW:
+ A high-protein diet reduces
hunger by improving the
function of hormones that
produce appetite and let you
know that you’re full?
This puts up a major
roadblock for
overeating!
+ As you exercise, a high-protein
diet will help you build muscle?
As you lose weight,
the protein will help
maintain the muscle so
your metabolism can
stay in high gear!
+ High-protein meals
increase the metabolic process
causing these foods to be broken
down into useable energy more
efficiently?
Protein has the highest
thermic effect (20-35%)
compared to carbs and
fats that are closer
to 5-15%.
+ Eating enough protein can
help keep you lean?
Maintaining weight loss
is easier if you have plenty
of lean tissue. Lean tissue
(or muscle) is active and
actually burns calories
as we rest.
F.I.T. TIP
BY STAYING AWAY FROM WHITE BREADS, FRENCH FRIES AND OTHER
PROCESSED CARBOHYDRATES (OFTEN WHITE OR LIGHT IN COLOR), AND
FOCUSING ON INTRODUCING COLORFUL OPTIONS TO YOUR PLATE, YOU’LL
ENSURE THAT YOU’RE CHOOSING NUTRIENT DENSE, SATISFYING FOODS!
