Meal Suggestions
No matter how you slice it… Exercise will only get you so far. It’s important to fill your fridge with foods that are not only good, but good for you. This will help lessen your chances of “falling off the wagon” so to speak.
It’s also important to switch your thinking from “I’m on a diet” to “I eat well.” Because diets are temporary and the purpose of this plan is to help you begin eating well, and continue for a lifetime.
Here are some foods we suggest you make regulars on your weekly grocery list:
Greek Yogurt: High in bloat preventing probiotics and protein, Greek Yogurt is ideal for a pre or post workout snack.
Green Tea: A total must have. Research shows that women who worked out regularly and drank 4 cups daily for 3 months had less belly fat than those who drank coffee and other caffeinated drinks.
Mushrooms: High in vitamin D, a vitamin linked to help reduce body fat in older women.
Sprouted Whole Wheat Bread: The enzymes produced during sprouting makes graines easier to digest and be converted into clean fuel.
Organic Apples: The skin is loaded with soluble fiber that helps stabilize your blood sugar.
Avocado: Packed with fatty acids proven to help blast belly fat.
Tomatoes & Garlic: A cortisol (the culprit of stored belly fat) lowering, vitamin C packing, metabolism boosting, blood sugar regulating, super pair.
Lemon Water: Helps prevent bloating, metabolism plateaus, and has high levels of vitamin C which helps reduce cortisol levels.
Kale & Broccoli: Both veggies contain indole-3-carbinol, which helps warns off xenoestrogens that mimic estrogen and leads to belly fat.
Chicken and Turkey: A recent study shows that women who get at least 30% of their calories from protein weigh less than those who get half that amount.
Salmon: Stuffed with omega- 3s. The fatty acid responsible for building calorie burning muscle.
Berries: Contains antioxidants that seem to help the body burn fat rather than store it.
