Tanya’s Top 10 List for a Healthier YOU

1. Jump-start your metabolism—eat breakfast! Burn more calories all day!
2. Keep a water bottle nearby! Dehydration lowers metabolism and makes you hungry.
3. Crunch your lunch—add chopped carrots, celery, radishes, and other veggies to your salad for a fiber boost.
4. Move in the morning. A.M. exercise revs up your metabolism for the rest of the day.
5. Choose GOOD fats—avocado, olive oil, and nuts have heart-healthy fats.
6. Lay off simple carbs—cut back on pasta, white bread, potatoes, and sugar. They metabolize quickly, leaving you hungry sooner.
7. Eat more fish—low in calories and high in Omega-3 oils that lower cholesterol and lift your mood.
8. Get enough ZZZs. Fatigue lowers metabolism and weakens will power.
9. Eat more fruit and vegetables—high in nutrients, fiber, and water but low in calories.
10. Make sure every meal is a combination of fiber and protein. Fiber and protein are the 2 nutrients that take the longest to digest, so you will feel full, satisfied, and energized throughout the day.

Healthy Eating Words to Live By: Fiber and protein at every meal make losing weight no big deal!
