Eat whatever you want and lose weight, you can too!

Eat whatever you want and lose weight, you can too! The secret to long term weight management lies in eating what you want.

 

 

Would you like to eat whatever you want a lose weight?

 

How easy would it be to eat the foods you enjoy with out having to count calories, macros or points?

 

All of us would like to be able to eat the foods we love and not have to count anything. The good news is that you can.

 

Weightloss is more about managing calories then anything else. The spend more energy (calories) then you consume and you will lose weight. Of course the opposite is true too.

 

As long as you are eating plenty of vegetables, proteins and fats… you are likely to not over eat. So many cut, eliminate and tell themselves they can have the foods they like and the result is the following.

 

The more you say I can’t, I am not allowed, not on my diet the more you want those foods.

 

Even worse many end up eating what is on their “diet” and then having what they want on top of it.

 

Ironically if you look at those successful with long term weightloss and weight management… they tend to eat what they want and don’t count macros, calories or points.

 

Is the secret to their success really the fact that they eat what they want, YES! They just do not over eat.  This is why Eat by Color has worked so well for so many.  No counting anything, not dieting and being able to eat what you want.

[Secret] Hack to Keto, Macros and Eat by Color!

[Secret] Hack to Keto, Macros and Eat by Color!

Most if not every approach to nutrition works if followed. There is the secret if there is one. Follow keto, macros, or Eat by Color. You have to follow the plan/diet/parameters or whatever it may be with the food plan. If you don’t there is not chance it will work. Calories matter. Every approach to eating to lose weight will in some way control the calories consumed. If you over eat calories the plan is not going to work.

 

Now the next question quickly becomes can I do this forever. If the answer is no, well you have a diet and a short term quick fix.

Secret Eating Right While Surviving the Chaos of Back to School

 

 

Secret Eating Right While Surviving the Chaos of Back to School 

Secret Eating Right While Surviving the Chaos of Back to School.  Planning and prepping meals in advance will determine if you can eat right with the chaos of the start of the school year.   Worth restating. Planning and prepping meals in advance will determine if you can eat right with the chaos of the start of the school year.   Spend the time and create a weekly or monthly family food menu. From the menu create your grocery list. Then spend one day to prep the meals for a few days. Most will find it easiest to prep for a minimum of Monday-Friday. This will make life easy, allow you to eat right and you will be surprised to find you will spend less on food.

One way to engage the kids in the prep process is to create a food bar. On the bar you have sections of Treats, Grains, Vegetables, Grains and Proteins. Each kid or family member pics one pre packed item from each group for each day of the week. (we stole this idea from eatingwell.com) Get creative and color code each family members snack and meal containers. There really are no rules and the only limit is your imagination. You can even pre make breakfast. Then every night prep dinner and maybe a snack before bed. This will save lots of time cooking and shopping during the week and will keep you from eating out (cost savings and healthier.)

**TOP Secret** Get your family to eat those vegetables.  Combine onion soup mix or ranch dip powder to plain Greek yogurt. Use this as a dip for your vegetables. This is a great way to get kids to eat more vegetables, up the protein of a meal, and reap the benefits of yogurt.

Proteins:

  • Cheese sticks
  • Yogurt cups
  • Deli meat
  • Hard-boiled eggs
  • Hummus
  • Nut or seed butter
  • Edamame pods

Grains:

  • Whole-wheat pita triangles
  • Whole-grain crackers
  • Whole-wheat tortilla
  • Whole-wheat pasta salad
  • Cooked brown rice

Fruits:

  • Unsweetened applesauce cups or pouches with no added sugar, such as as Mott’s® Unsweetened Applesauce
  • Bananas, small or cut in half
  • Grapes, cut in half lengthwise
  • Berries
  • Clementines
  • Pears

Vegetables:

  • Baby carrots
  • Celery sticks
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Bell pepper strips
  • Cucumber slices
  • Snap peas
  • Frozen peas, thawed or frozen
  • Frozen corn, thawed or frozen

Treats:

  • Tortilla chips
  • Air-popped popcorn
  • Dark chocolate squares
  • Cookies
  • Pretzels
  • Dried fruit
  • Granola bars
  • Graham crackers
