Secret #1: fuel yourself!
“Secret” #1 to being Fueled + Fit: Fuel Yourself!
Mamas need fuel to have the energy needed to GET THINGS DONE. (Make sure you read to the bottom to get my #1 place to start optimizing your nutrition!)
I know, you DO feed yourself & maybe you think THAT’S the problem to holding onto excess body fat.
Most moms get so busy, that YES, they’re getting enough calories on a day to day basis, but their meal timing (& food selection) is not ideal for optimal energy levels–ie. skipping breakfast & lunch–then binging on whatever is readily available, not most nutritious, throughout afternoon & evening.
Sticking to a predictable meal & snack routine will set you up for best success.
I recommend 3 meals & 1-2 snacks for most women, *especially* if you’re TTC, pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Even, or especially if, you’re in fat loss mode. And definitely when you’re in muscle building mode.
If you’re not a big breakfast eater, then pencil your breakfasts later in the morning.
You’re still going to be getting 3 meals a day, but the duration between the meals is adjustable depending on your needs & preferences.
My #1 tip for optimizing your nutrition without getting overwhelmed
Many women just don’t know where to begin & nutrition seems so confusing (avoid carbs? Don’t eat fat? Fruit is bad?) so they just ignore making improvements.
Pro tip: Start with just adding more fresh fruits & vegetables to your diet.
If you’re only getting 2 servings of fruits & vegetables per day, increase it to 4 then work your way up to 5 or 6 servings.
Anywhere from 5-10 servings, depending on your calorie & nutritional needs, is awesome.
One easy way is to add a green smoothie into your rotation.
Daily, or a few times a week, having a green smoothie will help reduce sugar cravings, give you a surge of anti-oxidants & anti-inflammatory nutrients your body needs to feel in top shape.
