1. Start keeping a food journal as soon as possible---at least for a week. Research has proven that you will have a better chance of succeeding with your meal plan and fat loss if you keep a food journal. By logging your actual food choices, you are holding yourself accountable throughout the day. You will also be forced to plan your meals better and avoid binge eating and emotional eating.
2. Social support is critical! Get an accountability partner such as a spouse, friend or personal trainer. You can challenge each other to make good food choices.
3. Eat small meals every 3-4 hours (starting with breakfast) to keep up your energy and to keep your metabolism humming along. When you skip meals, your body slows down its metabolism to conserve energy and store fat.
4. Plan and pack your meals for the day. This way, you are more likely to stay with your meal plan. Otherwise, you may end up eating fast food, overeating or grazing (haphazard eating).
5. Eat protein with every meal. Protein helps you feel fuller for a longer period of time, helps keep blood sugar levels from spiking and repairs your muscles after a tough workout.
Start your summer off right with this 5 point eating plan!
