1 month down, 11 to go on your 2011 goals - yipeeee!!!! The crowds are still lookin pretty thick at the gym (even today, believe it or not), so I think most are still going strong. For most, though, exercising is only have the battle. FOOD choices still remain your biggest enemy!
My friend, Makenzie, who is an awesome CPT, nutritionist and fellow AdvoCare distributor was generous enough to bestow some of her nutritional expertise upon us, today! She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about healthy food choices and I thought it was great information we can all benefit from.
Enjoy what she has to say and thanks for sharing, Makenzie!!

EAT MORE OFTEN AND LOSE THE FAT??
What if we all stopped counting our calories and focused more on the actual foods we were eating. You could very well lose 10% of that unwanted fat in 2 short weeks if you ate the RIGHT foods! We would all love to do that right?
Did you know: You can create a very efficient metabolism for yourself by eating the right foods.
What are the "RIGHT" foods anyways? Think fresh and pure. Fruits, vegetables, lean meats, good fats, and whole grains. Tasteful, colorful, and filling!
Our Enemy= SUGAR! And guess what, processed foods have a lot of sugar, not to mention all of the harmful chemicals mixed in that may have very harmful lasting effects.
So, we want to stay away from sugar, processed foods, AND BAD fats!
Bad Fat vs. Good Fat
Bad fats include hydrogenated oils, canola oil, margarine, and butter substitutes! Good fats include raw nuts, avocado, whole eggs, olive oil, and real butter. These "good" fats are going to help with transport of all the nutrients in your body, which will help build a more efficient metabolism.
GREAT NEWS: We should be eating often in order to keep blood sugar levels stable and maintain a healthy metabolism. It's all about making healthy eating choices!
