7 Tips

1. Make sure the first things you see when you open
your refrigerator and freezer are healthy options,
like pre-prepared baggies of chopped veggies, pre made
fat loss friendly chili in tupperware containers, etc.

2. Always make sure you have a bowl of fresh, in-season
fruit on the counter or kitchen table for easy, healthful
snacking within arm's reach.

3. Always keep a variety of fresh veggies in your crisper
drawer. Prep some of them ahead of the time by washing,
peeling and cutting them so they'll be ready to eat at all
times.

4. Always keep a running grocery list of staples that you
need. The best intention to eat healthy is no good if you
don't have the ingredients on-hand to make that healthier meal.

5. Keep a collection of storage containers and Protein Shakers
on-hand. You can stash pre-prepped foods so you can whip up a
healthy meal quickly. Every Sunday I chop up a bunch of veggies
that I use in Omelets, salads and other recipes during the week.

6. Stock your kitchen with the right tools: A vegetable
steamer, rice cooker, protein shake shakers, measuring cup
and spoons, non-stick frying and sauté pans, sharp knives,
and smaller plates (again, instant portion control).

7. Always shop with a grocery list and have a snack before
you go shopping. You'll be less likely to bring unfavorable
foods into the house if you are prepared when shopping.
