Thoughts on Thin

2.  Eat a good breakfast high in protein.  I never used to be a breakfast person.  However, since my metabolism has changed, I have to look at my food and diet differently. To keep my energy up, I have a high protein breakfast.  Oatbran mixed with oatmeal (just 2 Tbs. of each), mixed with 1/2 cup of water & nuked 2 minutes.  I mix in cinnamon (spices are great for creating flavor without calories) & Truvia.  Truvia is my new love!  No calories and it's the most like sugar in taste and texture.

3.  Eat your veggies!  If I have veggies with my lunch or dinner, I eat them first and fill up my stomach on the good low calorie, high vitamin food.  

4.  Eating out?  Always tricky...  I love food, I admit it.  When I go to a restaurant everything looks good and I want it all!  Here'a my thoughts... Once you get your food delivered, also ask for a to-go container.  Put half your meal in the to-go and ENJOY eating the other half.

5.  Walk!  Walk everywhere and walk fast!  It seems like I'm always in a hurry.  I kind of am, but it's also a think thin trick.  Walking in the mall?  Walk fast.  Walking from your car to the office building?  Walk fast. Doing your grocery shopping?  Walk & shop fast! (just don't run into anyone)... You get my drift.

6.  Eat the right snacks, again, high in protein.  Some of my favs: cheedar cheese & grapes sticks, greek yogurt, hummus and cucumber, and almonds for a bit of crunch.  See this website, here, for more great high protein snack ideas!

7.  Get yourself healthy inside!  Invest in doing a vitamin study.  This needs to be done by your doctor and is specific to YOUR BODY and what vitamins your body is missing and/or needs.  When I had this done, I was tremendously low in my B vitamins.  So much so, that my doctor gave me a B vitamin shot before leaving her office!  Now that I'm taking supplemental B12 and a Bcomplex I have SO much more energy and am feeling good.  Feeling good inside will help you feel better outside!

Finally, let me say that developing a healthy an approach to food is so important.  Get to know your strengths and weakness, when it comes to food, to create your own "thoughts on thin"!
