5 Healthy Eating Tips

Part of me feels guilty for all the awesome folks coming here expecting a GourmetDudes post (sorry guys!), so I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on some healthy eating tips I’ve picked up over the years.  These are tips that, combined with a nearly religious 5 day a week training program have, as of this morning, allowed me to drop 15.5 lbs in the last 9 weeks.

(FYI, that’s a little under 2lbs/week and includes the ridiculous food frenzy that was Easter)

1) Replace ground beef with ground turkey - in everything.  You can’t even tell the difference, although it IS pricier.

2) Never skip breakfast - my personal preference is a cup of yogurt or a slim fast, followed up with a Kashi granola bar about an hour later.  (can’t forget the 2 cups of coffee either).

3)Indulge a little.  It’s easier to stay the course when you’re not starving or depriving yourself.   I find cheese nips and string cheese are great to keep on hand.  And, get a jar of Nutella and a teaspoon.  It’ll change your life.

4) Drink plenty of water - duh.

5) Keep alcohol to a minimum.  A glass of wine or a beer is no problem - but overdoing it will kill your progress (and make you feel to crappy to train the next day).

Extra notes - go vegetarian for a while, when in doubt - eat beans, take a vitamin daily, think of it as making yourself better - not as ‘dieting’….
