*Nutrition*

Your body needs these 6 major nutrients to reach your fitness goals:

1.) Carbohydrates

2.) Fats

3.) Proteins

4.) Vitamins

5.) Water

6.) Minerals

The Food guide pyramid is very helpful, but it’s not necessarily accurate. Why? Because it all depends on the individuals lifestyle & how much exercise they pursue week after week. The food guide pyramid is made up of:

1.) Grains

2.) Fruits

3.) Vegetables

4.) Dairy

5.) Meats & Beans

Fruits and vegetables. These are antioxidant rich, anti-aging & packed with fiber. You can have as many as you want. And the great thing is they are low in calories.

You need to eat to lose weight, but it’s all about Servings & Portion Control. You can have your chocolate if you want. You can have your foods that aren’t as good for you SOMETIMES/EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. And when you do, please read the nutrition panel on the box for the serving size. And when u do have that 1 cheat day every week, only splurge on 1 thing. Don’t do it all day, every meal. Otherwise your not going to lose the weight like you want.

My splurge is on chocolate & pastries. I love them! But I only have them when I think I deserve it. After a whole week of dieting, I have that 1 bar of chocolate, or that 1 piece of coffee cake. It makes it taste so much better. “I mean come on, if you didn’t have that 1 cheat day, we would all go insane. Right?”

Until Tomorrow
