@How to Eat Less Calories & Burn More for a Toner Body Pt. 2

A road-map to changing your life one bite at a time!! Getting off track, don’t derail the train, get back on and full speed ahead!!

While I don’t adhere to any type of diet plans but do encourage building good habits over a period of time in order to make a life style change from one bad thing to something better.

Eat Less, Burn More Challenge — Slimmer Body, no sugar, no bread, low refine carbs and high complex carbs!! Heavens NO Processed Foods!!!

On a daily basis, write down your intake, breakfast, lunch and dinner and snacks but hopeful not snacks. Snacks are the very endeavor that keeps you eating all day as the pounds lay on your body. For all those that are visual, taking a picture of your meals is a great tool to reinforce how much you are actually eating. A picture is worth a thousand words. Second step is called the accountability step. Get a partner or group where daily each weigh in on a conference call with their results and weight. Also, each is encouraged to share any additional accomplishments or failures, no judgement, just support and encouragement.

Below is the no sugar list found on Social Media to remind what not to eat.

Be strong for yourself and sometimes you need to be strong for others. Why? Take a read of my accountability partner’s stories. He expressed his love for chips, candies, drinking and a few other bad habits that had caused him to have a larger stomach that desired. Funny how he wanted to eliminate the big gut for a nicer six pack but wanted to hold on to the refine carbs. After much conversation, he decided to take the plunge. I explained the guidelines and accountability factor which is crucial. With a deep breath, he sighed and agreed to try it. “Nothing beats a failure but a try.” End of story, he hung in there and was surprisingly pleased with his results.

Back to your daily intake, every meal should include lots of water preferably half the body’s weight in ounces. Each meal should be planned in advance as not to derail when very hungry or in a rush.

Below are a great variety of full or singular meals for the entire day or partial days. Hopefully, these meals are suggestions to get you started or give your ideas.
