Healthy Food Options

There are two important components when trying to lose weight. 
1.) Exercise
2.) Nutrition

You cannot achieve weight loss with just exercise and nutrition alone, it takes both. Many people I have talked to struggle with nutrition. The majority of results happen in the kitchen. Once you have finished your workout, your body is still in fat burning mode. So it is important that your body is fueled with healthy foods.  Now, I know we all are busy with school and work so we really do not have time to spend on meals, but that is where dedication and commitment comes in. A good way to prepare your meals is to choose one day out of the week; typically on Sundays and prepare lunch and dinner for that week. Your meals should consist of protein, vegetables, and grains.

Example of meals:

4 oz. grilled chicken breast
1 cup brown rice
1 cup mixed vegetables

This is easy and simple to make and you can eat this for lunch or dinner for the entire week.  This is not a diet but a lifestyle change. Diets are temporary and do not work because after you lose the weight you have to maintain the weight loss. You cannot do that by going back to your old eating habits.
