Along with label reading, which is super important, portion control is even more important.
Eating 2 cups of veggies at every meal is very important. Those 2 cups should always be the healthy veggies. Limit veggies such as green beans, rutabaga, egg plant, tomatoes, and artichokes to only twice a week. They are higher is carbs and can hinder your weight loss. Stick with leafy veggies such as, kale, lettuce, arugula, and spinach. Other great choices are cucumbers, celery, and mushrooms; which you can eat all day and fill up on without the guilt!!!!
Forget about ever eating carrots, corn, and any form of potatoes. Corn??? Seriously folks, corn is not really a vegetable. If you really want it, then limit it to maybe twice a month.
I can't wait to share my rutabaga fries with you and my cauliflower rice and tater tots! Seriously, they are so awesome you won't miss rice or potatoes!!!!
When you portion out your meats, eat between 6-8 ounces. Stick with healthy, lean meats such as turkey breast, chicken breast, pork tenderloin, shrimp, lobster, lean ham, eggs, and bison. Treat yourself every now and then to a red meat such as flank or skirt steak.
Fruits such as blueberries and apples are really good for you. Bananas are high in calories and natural sugars. Limit those to one only two a week for weight loss. Eat one cup of fruit twice a day.
Hope this will help you! It has certainly helped me!
Happy and healthy eating!
