Today's Tip: Simple Nutrition Tips for This Week!

Sometimes we make things so difficult...but really, fitness & nutrition isn't hard!  There are some very simple things you can do that will make a big difference in your lifestyle.  It's easy to get caught up in all the tips, ideas, websites, blogs, magazine articles, etc. that bombard us every day about the latest and greatest fitness & nutrition fads.  And many of those things are great!  But if you are overwhelmed with the plethora of information out there, here are just a few things you can focus on this week.

THIS WEEK:
1) Eat foods that contain lots of WATER.
  • Cucumbers
  • Jicama
  • Watermelon
  • Grapefruit
  • Cantaloupe
  • Tomatoes
  • Carrots
  • Beets

2) Take Your Lunch
  • YOU choose your meal and what goes in it.
  • A well-spent extra 10 minutes (it would take you that long to order and wait for your lunch anyway)

3) Get rid of WHITE FOODS...except for Cauliflower!
  • White potatoes, White rice, White bread, White flour...etc.
  • Helps you get rid of starch & sugar in your diet
  • Improves your daily nutrition level
  • Replace them with foods containing more nutrient value
There are a lot of other nutrition tips you can add to these, but tackling just a few at a time gives you a good sense of accomplishment rather than trying to do too much, getting overwhelmed and bagging the whole idea of good nutrition.
