SqueezeItIn.com Girls

Welcome November guest bloggers Jen & Jaclyn of fit·n·pretty!

This sister act does for nutrition what SqueezeItIn.com does for exercise: making it practical, clever, effective, and – most importantly – realistic for the jam-packed schedules of today.  Each week this month look for amazing tips to power up your plate and creative ways to dodge the nutrition land mines that lurk around every corner during the holidays.  Happy reading…and eating!

From Jen & Jaclyn:

Let’s face it you are a busy gal! With barely enough time in the day to shower, you don’t have hours to spend stressing out about whether you and your family are eating healthy. At befitnpretty.com we don’t think that eating right should be difficult or time consuming, in fact we think it should be downright easy. So in lieu of trying to do a complete diet overhaul, we think one of the best ways to start leading a healthier life is make one small but positive change to your diet each week.

(Click below to keep reading – amazing and easy tips await!)

Build on to these positive changes each week and pretty soon, all of these little tweaks will add up to some big payoffs in your overall health and well being. Not sure where to begin?  Start with the suggestions on the list below and you will be looking and feeling fit·n·pretty in no time!

Small food changes that reap big rewards:

– Add one serving of fruit to your breakfast and lunch.

– Make sure you get two servings of veggies at dinner.

– Switch to non-fat or 1% milk.

– Switch from white pasta and rice to whole-wheat pasta and brown rice.

– Cut 100 calories from you day (like that extra slice of bread or piece of candy).

– Buy 100% Whole Wheat Bread instead of white.

– Switch from regular soda to diet, or better yet sip on unsweetened iced tea or water with a slice of lemon or cumber instead.

– Small behavior changes that reap big rewards:

– Make time to eat a healthy breakfast every morning.

– Start eating your meals off of smaller plates and out of smaller bowls.

– Don’t eat out of the container or package; pre-portion all of you meals or snacks into a bag, bowl, or onto a plate for better portion control.

– Actually enjoy your meals and put away your work /turn off the radio, TV, and computer while you eat.

– Add a small snack (around 100-200 calories) in between breakfast and lunch. Then again between lunch and dinner. You will get better control of your hunger and will be less likely to overindulge at those meals.

– Instead of pouring the dressing on your salad, use the “fork trick” and just dip your fork in the dressing before taking a forkful of lettuce. You will be shocked at how little dressing you actually need.

At befitnpretty.com we are dedicated to helping busy girls everywhere take the “die” out of their diet, by sharing the prettiest and most sane ways to stay fit and healthy.
