A moment in your lips is a lifetime in your hips!!

Let's be honest! No one has ever lost weight by eating junk food. Junk food has title or no nutritional value. Not only that, they also have ingredients considered unhealthy. They have high levels of saturated fats, salt, or sugar, and little or no fruit, vegetables, or fiber; they have no health benefits.

So, one of the things that will definitely make you lose those extra pounds is changing your eating habits. Think about your body as a car, a very nice car. Lets say a Bugatti Veyron, MSRP from 1.7 million dollars. If you know about cars, you know what I'm talking about. It's considered one of the most expensive cars in the market. I'm sure if you had one, you would really take care of it and make sure you use the best fuel, oil, additives, etc. Only the best of the best, right? Well your body is an amazing machine, and you have to make sure you treat it like one by eating the best of the best to make it function the proper way. 

 In the book Naturally Thin, Bethenny Frankel talks about  the importance of eating healthy without dieting. She talks about balancing your food choices, just like you balance your spending and savings account. Making smart investments in healthful foods that will fill you up.

So, how can you start making good investments? I'm going to give 3 steps that I learned from her book that will help you make good investments.

1. Don’t eat too much of any one thing, balance starches with proteins, vegetables and fruits with sweets.  Let’s say you had pancakes for breakfast. They’re fine and starchy and sweet. So what do you have for lunch? Pasta? Of course not. That’s more starch. Because you had starch and sugar earlier in the day, you now need protein and vegetables.

2. Eat Real food and limit processed. Choose food that’s as close to its natural state as possible. Raw vegetables, in particular, are high in fiber and volume so when you eat them first you end up with less room in your stomach for other, higher-calorie foods. Start your meal with a big salad (oil and vinegar dressing) or a bowl of vegetable soup and you won’t have much room left for food with more fat and calories.

3.Downsize your portions. If you put a little food on a big plate, you’re going to feel cheated. So use a salad plate. Keep them at the front of your cabinet, and grab those first.

Remember, a moment in your lips is a lifetime in your hips, start making good investments!! :))
