I’ve been asked many times especially since starting this blog how do I keep weight off when I cook so much? or How do you stay motivated to run? Following are tricks strategies that I use.
Diet
1. Nothing is off limits to eat. I don’t forbid anything in my diet. I just eat small portions. I don’t limit carbs; you need them for fuel. I don’t limit protein; you need them to build muscle. I watch fat intake but I don’t rule it out altogether; you need some good fat for proper brain and cell function and absorption of certain vitamins.
2. I drink a lot of water. My goal is 1 gallon per day. I don’t always reach that goal but I try. If you’re drinking that much water you don’t have a lot of room for snacks.
3. I eat as much fresh, God made, organic food as I can.
4. I use myfitnesspal app to log my calorie intake. Seeing a calorie total of what you eat as you consume it helps. Another trick is this app subtracts your calorie from you total. When you’re at -0-, that’s it, you’re done for the day vs counting up. (It’s a mental thing.)
5. I eat ‘good’ 80% of the time. The other 20% is why I exercise!
