Health Goals: Scale Free For 2017

Image
Hi Warrior Chic’s! Oh my! Today I finished my workday early so I could come home and start cleaning the house before my mom got to Atlanta. She’s coming to stay with us for a week for Christmas break. But I found myself surfing the web instead. This is something I haven’t done in a while ‘just for fun” it’s all been work and client related, no play. Any Woo! I ran across a wonderful post called Scaled Free from the Fat Mommy To Hot Mommy blog. I could relate to this post on so many levels. Not letting a number on a scale rule your life is a concept I’ve been preaching to my clients for years.  So many people get stuck on the number fluctuating that it just kills their spirits when trying to live a healthy lifestyle. The focus shifts to getting skinny rather than being healthy and strong. Most importantly eating clean! I recommend going back to read the Fat Mommy To Hot Mommy blog Post titled Scaled Free.

My Top 10 Belly Fat Burning Foods I Live by...

Image
Hi Warrior Chic's! As you all know I’m not a fan of fad diets. I believe in eating clean and being mindful of the types of food you consume. Most fad diets come and go quickly - probably because they're difficult to follow long-term, and they don't help you lose or maintain your weight.

These fad diets aren't based on credible research studies for long-term loss or any beneficial health claims, but they may try to sound scientific. Taking a few minutes to review their sources reveals a lack of evidence beyond opinion and conjecture. The best way to watch your weight and provide your body with all the nutrition you need is to follow a healthy  balanced

7 Recipes That’ll Help You Stick to Your Healthy Eating Goals

Image
Hi Warrior Chic’s Eating a healthy balanced diet isn't all that complicated. Just choose a variety of foods from all the major food groups including fruits and vegetables, meats or protein sources, dairy or calcium, grains and cereals, and healthy oil replacement and fats. It also helps if you also want to consume the right amount of calories to maintain a healthy weight and cut back on all the unhealthy junk foods. Nutritionists and health experts often say to eat a variety of foods.  Eating a variety of foods makes it easier to get a balanced diet. Not all foods are equally nutritious, and even foods that are good for you are probably missing a few nutrients, so when you eat a variety of foods you're more likely to get all the essential nutrients you need every day. Sometimes the question isn't about what makes up a healthy diet; it's about finding simple recipes that make living a clean eating fit life easier. Honesty, I live a simple life and thriv
