Weight Loss & Healthy Living Eats

Mushrooms, Parmesan Cheese, Anchovies, Low Sodium
Soy Sauce, Asparagus and Olives
Umami Foods-ones that are savory and satisfying which
means you'll eat less and lower your salt intake.

Unsalted pumpkin seeds are great source of magnesium.
This superfood lowers your blood pressure.

Avocados is a great weight loss partner because
they are high in healthy fats and are a meat substitue.

One large soda can clock in more than 500 calories.

Switching from mayo to mustard on a sandwich can save
you 85 calories!

Fat free or zero trans fat foods are not a great option
for weight loss because they trade fats for huge amounts
of sugar or sodium!

If you remove cheese, mayo, and the top bun from a rest
sandwich you can save 250 calories!

Your waist size, not your weight is the best measurement
indicator for your health you can make. The ideal size for
women is 321/2 inches or less. 35 inches or less for men.

Decaf coffee, a low-calorie drink is a great source for antioxidants, and a great way to fight cravings.

Olives, Salmon, and Walnuts have omega-3 fats that help
increase the level of chemicals that make you feel full.

People who journal about their weight loss and weigh frequently
are more likely to lose weight.

Eating oatmeal for breakfast will help prevent you from gorgoing in
the afternoon. The fiber will fill you up.

Sleep deprivation alters levels of hormones in the body that regulate hunger
causing an increase in appetite.

Overweight people who drank skim milk for breakfast ate
fewer calories during the day

You shouldn't eat after 7p at night (well for me
this one is kind of hard, because i don't get off work
until 10, well at least until the new schedule comes
out)

When you skip a meal, your body goes into starvation mode, which actually
makes it harder to burn calories.

Muscle burns 4x more calories than fat. Try 20 minutes of
strength training 2/3 x's a week.

You can burn 350 calories during an hour of yoga

All exercise is good for you, but sex can help control the amount of
food you eat. It and hunger are regulated through NPY brain chemical.
It will satisfy your hunger just like eating, because when you
satisfy one hunger the other one is too.

If you find yourself at a weight loss plateau, the best step is
to up your exercise routine by 5 minutes.
