I wish all of you the best of luck!!! It takes alot to change your diet habits....but its possible and im proof of it!! I dont have great before and after pics to show ya, but I have a few suggestions.. Me and my mom started the "Body for Life" program 7 weeks ago, with that we have changed our diet completly, for the better, and started working out. Its amazing the change in just 7 weeks!! here are a couple, ill keep em short.
First....make a whole weeks work of daily menus!! Then make your shopping list of this and go shopping. If you know what your supposed to eat, and when...its so much easier to be good. If you have to look for something, it makes it so much harder.
Second - stay away from the "diet" food, and processed stuff, wholesome is so much better, and can be quick and easy too!
Third - for food ideas....you can visit
www.bodyforlife.com and go to the food&recipe tab at the top. Everything healthy, easy, and good!!
