I'm sending you hugs right now bo...Sting, ehya! I'm sending you hugs right now boo. Pele. I feel your pain.<br /><br />This is why I don't subscribe to weight scales. Your body weight fluctuates anyhow and it is not a TRUE representation of what is going on with you. Your menstrual cycle can cause weight gain because your body holds on to more water. All you see is an increase on the scale, you start to fret, increased stress, increased cortisol and BOOM! you actually start gaining weight.<br /><br />Sometimes with weight loss, less is more. Especially with your crazy ass schedule. You also have to PLAN PLAN PLAN! Most of your meals can be made on the weekends, you can also portion these into tupperware and grab and go as needed.<br /><br />Easy breakfast options that I use:<br /><br />1. Breakfast egg muffins (I use eggs, veggies, bacon and some coconut oil)<br />2. Canned tuna/Sardines, veggies (carrots, broccoli) and some nuts (no peanuts)<br />3. Scrambled eggs with sweet potatoes (nuked in microwave)<br />4. Leftover dinner<br /><br />All of these take less than 15mins. I make my muffins on Sun and grab and go during the week. They can be eaten hot or cold.<br /><br />I follow a similar method for lunch.<br /><br />You need protein, you need fats as well, you also need complex carbs (if you strength). If you don't strength-trains, veggies are just fine! I would advise against using protein shakes because those are crutches and are just a temporary fix! Once you get the hang eating a balanced meal, then you can add a shake every now and then.<br /><br />Email me if you need anything: phunkiestown@gmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13327695074931436586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679091251951001792.post-3256409522869520812013-05-23T05:12:12.447-07:002013-05-23T05:12:12.447-07:00I forgot... you can also consider going on protien...I forgot... you can also consider going on protien shakes...shakeology or whey protein.~Sirius~https://www.blogger.com/profile/14771610618431377950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679091251951001792.post-28218185922831552822013-05-23T03:35:44.568-07:002013-05-23T03:35:44.568-07:00oh wow...sorry dear.
Want to try fresh veggies?
Y...oh wow...sorry dear.<br /><br />Want to try fresh veggies?<br />You can prep them the night before or over the weekend ...carrots, onions, kale, cabbage, lettuce, spinach, egg plant, all colours of ball pepper. Chop them up and put them in little plastic containers. Buy mix herbs and mixed spices (all in one- instead of rosemary thyme etc)<br />So you can stir fry everyday (it's fresh)<br />Make an omelet with it or<br />Chop turkey or chicken bits in them, so you can up your protein on days you don't do eggs.<br /><br />You need a lot more protein.....sad to say this but beans is not really a great source of protein. You can confirm here and anywhere else. http://www.fatsecret.com/Diary.aspx?pa=fjrd&rid=1776798<br />( it's considered a source of protein generally, because it has a significant amount of protein, but it contains more carbs than it does protein)<br /><br />Sweet potatoes and yam are also ok, you can eat with your veggies.<br /><br />You can also stir fry with shrimps and other sea foods if you swing that way.<br /><br />Look for the veggies you love and play around with them.<br /><br />your meal has to be balanced if weight loss is your goal.<br />Vegetables (they are carbs) + Proteins + fats & oil.<br /><br />http://www.bodytransformationlab.com/lose-fat/~Sirius~https://www.blogger.com/profile/14771610618431377950noreply@blogger.com
