The keys to weight loss and maintenance are veggies and meats. "My favourite meat for weight loss is salmon, especially in salads (lettuce, tomato, olives, feta cheese, kale). Just salmon cooked in olive oil with salt and pepper” - Lauren. Gravy and salad dressings (the creamy ones) , although it tastes so good, is usually full of fats and sugars which isn’t so good for you so we recommend straying away from eating a lot of those stuff in your meals unless you know what they’re made of. Vinaigrette salad dressings on the other hand is great for your body and good for you. When you think losing weight- you think working out… but thats not all it takes. When and what you eat is actually very important. It’s not 100% all about cutting down on breads, rice, pastries… We often think we can go into a supermarket and buy “DIET” coke.. or that granola bar that says “HEALTHY”.. and also says 18g sugar. Start reading labels and look at the sugar and carbohydrate content, you ideally want something that has a protein count that is equal to or greater than the carbohydrate count and a relatively low sugar count. Also, cut down on the intake of sweetened juices, WATER IS SO REFRESHING AND DOES NO HARM. Sugar is still important in your diet, but there’s tasty things like fruits that have natural sugars! Trust me when I say that makes a big difference!
Recipes we recommend for protein shakes
-Gold Standard 100% Whey Cookies &Cream flavour +Soy Milk -Gina
-Gold Standard 100% Whey Original + Frozen banana + Peanut Butter + Cinnamon + Soy milk/Water - Deedee
*Drink your protein shakes before or after a workout to give the muscles extra protein and amino acids to build and repair muscle cells.*
-Green Juice recipe:
Kale+ Spinach + Celery + Ginger+ Pineapple/Apple - Lauren
“I have a weeakness for pizza and spaghetti,which is unhealthy only because of the flour content, so long ago I found recipes online for flourless substitutes! Quinoa crust pizza, Cauliflower crust pizza and Zucchini Noodles Spaghetti. If you have any weakness for a particular meal, I assure you there's a healthy alternative. Just do some research. “ -Deedee
