| here, i want to talk about ways to get fit and feel healthier without being deprived of our favorite foods! again i'm not telling you this as a doctor or a nutritionist or an expert in any way, i just tell you what makes sense to me: in my opinion, for keeping healthy, happy and fit, we should keep 2 things in mind: -smaller portion sizes -moderation basically, i believe we can eat a lot of things if we eat them in small portions and if we don't eat them everyday. |
| suggestion # 2 lowering the carb intake choose low carb foods substitute bagels ( over 50 g of carb in each) toasts or pita bread (each having around 30 g of carb) for example, : try to substitiute your lunch carb(toasts) with pita bread. |

| suggestion # 1 portion sizes this is probably the most important part. we can lower the amount of what we eat, and still enjoy eating them. for example, if you usually have a turkey sandwich with 2 toasts, change that to turkey with 1 toast. or instead of having 1 full bowl of cereal, have 1/4 and fill up your bowl with milk. you get the idea, right? by doing this, you can enjoy, 2 or 3 spoon full of ice cream, or even once a week, small slice of cake... and beleive me, it sounds much harder than it is! |
| moderation this is probably the most important thing to remember...: never over do it!! try not to eat the same things everyday, not even the same low carb food even in small portions. 1 reason is that, you need to get a variety of nutrients and vitamines and one certain food does not have everything that your body needs. so eat different kinds of breads, fruits, cookies (not more than one cookie a day!), meat (chicken, beef, ...) and don't forget 1 or 2 spoonful of peanut butter everyday! |
