We just have three little tips you might want to consider when trying to drop a few pounds.

 

1. Water Down that Juice

Most people love their fruit juice. Who doesn’t? Fruit juice is sweet and nourishing, it’s true. Unfortunately, it doesn’t really fill you up the way the whole fruit does, and it is loaded with a natural sugar called fructose, which can lead to unbalanced blood sugar levels. If you love juice, you can still get the flavor but begin to cut back on the calories and sugar by only filling your glass halfway with juice, and then filling the rest with water. Over time, see if you can cut back to a quarter glass of juice and three-fourths of a glass of water. It’s simply the taste that you are accustomed to, and you will be surprised how quickly you get used to the way this tastes. Plus, you will love your new waistline.

 

2. Get Pickled!

Well, not that way …we mean eat more pickled foods! Sometimes referred to as fermented foods, eating foods that have been pickled is a fantastic way to help drop some weight while supporting your immune system and gut flora. Try adding some pickled foods to your daily diet. Try some sauerkraut for dinner, pickles for a snack, or take up a glass of kombucha after lunch.

3. Don’t Skip Breakfast

You hear this all the time “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” That doesn’t make this statement any less true! Be sure you eat some protein every morning for breakfast, such as eggs on whole grain toast, or a vegetable smoothie, or some nuts in your oatmeal. Eating protein for breakfast will help prevent those mid-morning cravings for donuts and coffee. Eating breakfast will help to stop you from making poor food choices later in the morning because your body is starving for some energy.
