Fit Tip #2 - Think HEALTHY not SKINNY.

ALL of us make this mistake. 
We think that the LESS we eat, the skinner we get. 

Check out the difference of the SAME amount of calories

But, did you know that if you were to half a cheeseburger, you are more likely to gain more weight then eating 2 bowls of salad with pan fried chicken, eggs whites, and a combo of different vegetables?
(And, it'll probably fill you up more and longer through out the day!)

It's hard in the beginning, but when you get used to it.. you will regret having EVER eating fast food. 

Okay now, i know it's hard to think healthy when your young, and you want to hang outside with friends. But there are options you can take when your eating out. Here are some tips on eating in & out of the house! 

Tips on Eating OUT
  • Green Away. Choose the greenest thing you find on the menu!
  • Say no to carbs. Avoid heavy carbs (potatoe based dishes, rice, pasta)
  • Share your meal. They do say sharing is caring for a reason. Splitting the meal in half will also split the calories in half!
  • Keep the sauces to the side. Whether it's for the salad, or the gravy for the chicken, keep it aside! 
  • Plan before hand. Think of possible places you can eat at that has healthy options. 
  • Go H2O! Avoid any sugary drinks cause those = calories! Always opt for water or tea (unsweetened ofcourse). 
Tips on Eating IN

  • Full Fridge. Fill the fridge with anything and everything healthy. Leave no temptations. (Salads, Yougurt, fruits, vegetables, cereal)
  • Green Tea Sips. Drink GREEN TEA! Not only is it full of anti-oxidines, it also hydrates you a  little more then water. And, it tastes good. 
  • Plan beforehand. List out the possible meals you could make with whats in your fridge. It saves time, and it stops you from searching for anything snackable. 

So when picking up your next lunch, think HEALTHY not SKINNY!
