Food for Thin

Now that you have finished your walk, I bet you are hungry and thirsty. Have yourself a nice cold glass of water while you make yourself a tasty salad. Tired of chopped iceberg lettuce, then have some spring greens, about a cup and a half. They are tastier and a whole lot more appetizing. Through in some diced or cherry tomatoes, some shredded carrot, a chopped up hard boiled egg and some tuna packed in spring water. Top this with two tablespoons of your favorite low calorie salad dressing and a few (I mean few, 4 or 5) croutons and you have a great lunch of dinner. You have now had a meal that totals around 275 to 300 calories depending on the salad dressing that you use. You most likely will be full when you are finished.

In the mornings, start out with a high fiber cereal such as Kellogg's All Bran with extra fiber with soy milk as opposed to cow's milk. This will give you nearly half of the fiber you for the day, the salad will also give you a good supply of roughage as well as protein from the egg and the Tuna. Your breakfast will be about 130 calories, add a cup of orange juice and that's another 113 or so. Striking a middle ground on you salad, you calorie count for the day is a whopping 528 calories for the day. If you really want to me healthy, but a juicer and juice your own fruit. It is much healthier and tastier. Try orange juice with a little pineapple juice added. It is delicious. Juice form a juicer is thicker, richer and immediately fresh. If you want to stay around 1000 calories a day, this leaves you almost 500 calories for your other meal and snack. Your other meal could be a small salad sans the Tuna and egg, steamed veggies and a 4 or 5 ounce portion of grilled chicken breast. That's a total of about 420 calories for dinner leaving you another 100 or so for a snack. Try an all natural trail mix of raisins, dried cranberries, raw cashews and almond. An 1/8 cup is around 120 calories. That brings your day to 1068 healthy, weight lowering calories. Trust me, with a little exercise, you will quickly see the scale heading south. Drink at least eight glasses of water throughout the day and take a good multivitamin supplement once a day and you are on your way to a thinner you. Don't cheat, you may forget the candy bar you had but your body won't. One thing your body does is count calories with amazing precision. Here's to better health and another walk around the block.
