Enjoy Your Weekend & Still Get Gains
Most of us are living on the end of the spectrum; we’re either all in or all the way out.
We’re either eating salads every day or Chick-fil-A waffle fries; ain’t no in-between!
We all know that’s no way to live and finding sustainability is the key but let’s be honest it’s hard.
But imagine a life where you’re somewhere in the middle.
You can eat out and still make solid decisions.
You can travel and not worry about your fitness & health going to shit.
You can have cake and still feel confident that you’re on track.
It’s not the big actions that make a difference in your life, it’s the little things you do every single day that either nudges you closer or further away from where you want to be.
Look, it's hard to eat out and lose weight, and to be honest - you'll do so much better if you're cooking most of your food but...
It's not always practical to cook every meal at home. I know you're busy & tired, and most days the last thing you want to do is prepare food.
So when you do go out to grab something quick make sure you...
Drink a Full Glass of Water Before Your Meal
Our bodies are about 70% water so when we don’t have enough you will feel the effects. You’ll notice fatigue and hunger (have you seen the snickers commercial?) as the two most prominent symptoms. So when you’re drinking enough water you’re body will be happy and it’s easier to make adultish decisions with your food :)
Go For The Option With Less Carbs & Fat
When you make choices like no bread, grilled instead of fried, and substitute condiments like mustard or balsamic instead of mayonnaise or ranch you’ll be shocked how much they make a difference in how you feel and your waist line measurements. Don’t strive to eat 100% perfect or clean but shoot for the good ol 80/20 rule; 80% healthy, whole foods and 20% fun foods.
Focus on Your Proteins & Veggies/Fruits First.
When you dive into that delicious food, think about your protein and veggie/fruits first. Your protein is going to make sure your body is repairing itself, building a strong metabolism, and keeping you satisfied. Your fruit/veggies are giving you your vitamins, fiber, and many of the micronutrients you need to ensure a long and healthy life. Plus they usually are much lower in calories so you can eat more without feeling bad about it.
You don’t need drastic changes to have a HUGE TRANSFORMATION!
