Healthy Snacks

Today, I am into living healthy and motivated to loose some of my pounds off. After shopping with one of my girlfriend, who is now 6 size smaller in 2 months, I determine to eat healthier and live happier.

You can burn your body fat just by eating vegetables and count your calories intake daily. Some of vegetables that will help you are the ones that are high in fiber but low in calories, including:

• Brocolli
• Cucumber
• Carrots
• Eggplants
• Cabbage

To loose weight, you also needs to do a good planning and preparation. Plan what you will eat ahead of time and stick with it. Hard? Of course! Saying is always easier than doing. Therefore, before going on a diet program, set goal and motivation. For example, a motivation to wear a bathing suit for upcoming summer (in about five months now). You want to look good to feel good.

What else do we need to forget? Carb! Carb is needed by our body to produce energy. But, excessive carb is not good for diet. Eat whole grain products or wheat products. Each slice of whole wheat bread contains 100 calories. With 1 tbsp of nutela (for about 100 calories), you can have a good whole grain breakfast.

Slow metabolism will not help loose weight. Eat food in smaller portions for several times a day will help faster the metabolism. Our stomach always needs something to keep it going. Consume a big meal three times a day will force your belly to work harder and will slow the metabolism. Also, you will tend to eat heavier portion when you feel really hungry. So keep on munching!

What kind of snacks are good for you?

• Banana
• hard boil egg
• orange
• vegetable finger snacks (carrots, bell peppers, snap peas)

I hope this information helps enrich our knowledge about living healthy.
