Eating right is a sassy girl's secret weapon

A client asked me a question that I seem to get all the time....

"How can I satisfy my desire for eating junk food?"

Well the answer is simple. Eat a balanced diet! Seems easy right? It is but you have to have the desire to want to watch what you eat. Your body is just like your ipod. If you don't charge the ipod it has no "fuel" to give you awesome songs to jam out to. If you don't eat a combination of fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains don't expect your body to respond the way you want. You will never make a mistake if you eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Most fruits and vegetables are under 100 calories so you will never go wrong with munching on an apple, orange, cucumber, celery or carrots.

Eat every 4 hours. I'm not talking a huge meal. The key is to snack in between meals. Keep your snacks under 150 calories.  You should never have snacks more than 150 calories because it's actually a meal.

Keep your fridge stocked with fresh cucumber and carrots, and in the freezer frozen grapes! If you have these items at hand you will be less likely to reach for the twinkie!  Every once in awhile you won't feel guilty eating the twinkie. You can't spend the rest of your life depriving yourself of "junk food" but if you eat well more often than not you will be happy with the way you look in your party dress!
