Your Grocery Shopping Tips!

Hi friends,

I would like to thank all of you that were in attendance yesterday for the grocery trip to Big Y Supermarket. It was a great success and I was very impressed to see many of you campers caring a pad and taking notes!

So for those of you that weren't there I want to share some of the topics that were discussed.

Green Veggies and Getting Enough In Your Diet.

Think of green veggies as a staple in any fat loss program. Not only are the strong in vitamins and nutrients but they provide your body with much needed fiber to help digestion.

When selecting veggies always go with variety from green peppers, spinach, romaine lettuce, green beens, squash, asparagus, brocolli, etc.

Stay away from canned foods, organic and natural produce are ALWAYS the best choice! Regular produce does work fine.

If You Eat Sugar It Will Come From Fruits

Fruit serves a valuable purpose in teaching you to eat for a healthy lifestyle.

Always look to blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, (your natural jelly!)

"A Complete Lean Protein Source At One Point In Its Life Had A Face, A Mother, Could Swim or Could Fly."

Lean proteins are the building block for repairing muscle fibers from intense works thus helping build lean muscle.

The more lean muscle you have, the more efficient at burning body fat you become!

Women tend to not eat enough protein. Thus lack the repair to build new lean muscle and boost metabolism.

4-5 lbs PER WOMEN, PER WEEK should be consumed! (It was an eye opener to many in attendance that their current protein intake is low.

Dairy Can Be Your Friend

Whole Eggs DO NOT CAUSE HIGH CHOLESTEROL!

Egg whites can be eating from a carton.

Full Fat Cottage Cheese and Mozzarella are good. GET OVER THE LOW FAT CRAZE!

Some Quick Tips Next Time You Shop

Avoid Salsa's, Marinara Sauces that contain SUGAR in the ingredients

Nut Butters are good for you!

Mixed Raw Nuts are good for you! (measure out portion!)

When in doubt BUY ORGANIC!

Avoid ANYTHING that contains High Fructose Corn Syrup!

Every time you eat, as yourself "Will this hlep me burn ugly, unwanted body fat as fast as possible?"

IF YES, do it!

If NO, don't!
