2010-02-01T13:36:00.000-08:00

Lori-Ann's List of Healthy Food Choices

2010-01-27T05:42:00.000-08:00

Every week I always get emails from family, friends and fans. The question is, “ What do you eat?” So I decided to put together my grocery list for you to help everyone start there way on healthy food choices. I do have to say that it is very important to eat every 2-3 hours for a total of 6 small meals per day and most importantly DO NOT SKIP breakfast!!! I cannot enforce that enough. Skipping breakfast does not give you a good start to your metabolism. You are actually slowing your metabolism down by not eating breakfast which does not help you in the end if your trying to lose weight. I always tell people this silly example, “you are like a car and you have to keep giving it fuel to let your motor keep running, if you don’t give it fuel the car will slow down.” Just like your metabolism, you have to feed your body to help burn more calories or your metabolism will slow down and you won’t lose weight. So start off your day with energy with a good healthy breakfast!!
Here is my Grocery list of foods:

Proteins:
Chicken
Grilled Fish ( salmon, cod, shrimp etc..)
LEAN meat
Turkey
Venison Meat (this meat is very lean)
Bison Meat
Low Fast Cottage Cheese with fresh berries
Veggies ( variety) peppers, butternut squash, asparagus, spinach lettuce etc..
Egg Whites
Low Sodium Tuna with tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
No Salt added all natural Peanut Butter

Fruits:
Berries- raspberries, blueberries, strawberries
Apples
Bananas
10 calories Fruit Flavored Jello

Carbs:
Sweet Potatoes
Brown Rice
Plain Oatmeal
Eziekel Bread
Unsalted Plain Rice Cakes

Remember!!!! to always cook with extra virgin olive oil, it’s a healthier fat and also great for your skin as well. Don’t let your self go hungry eat every 2-3 hours and allow yourself 1-2 cheat meals a week. Drink PLENTY of water! If you are not a water drinker, you can always add crystal light to your water.
