5 Best Eating Tips For Weight Loss In The New Year

ACCORDING TO NIELSEN RESEARCH, the top 5 new year's resolutions last year included staying fit and healthy, losing weight, as well as enjoying life, spending more time with family and spending less / saving more money. The article goes on to explain that fresh fruits and veggies were our top weight loss food choices, but 76% of people did not follow a weight loss or diet program in 2014 and "65% of U.S. consumers say they plan to exercise more this year, while 33% and 31% plan to focus on portion control and calorie reduction". *

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU? Its pretty much the same old story ... We set a goal to lose weight, get fit and healthy each year but have the habit of not following through on everything it takes to accomplish our weight loss goals even though we've done better at choosing more fresh fruits and veggies over junk food.

I think I'm safe in saying that losing weight, getting fit and healthy is at the top of your resolutions list this year. If so, make sure to subscribe to this blog to follow along for motivation, tips and weight loss support in the new year.

5 BEST EATING TIPS FOR NEW YEAR WEIGHT LOSS !!!

Even More Fruits and Vegetables To Your Diet

Vegetables and fruits are packed with compounds that improve health, such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber. Increasing your consumption of these highly nutritious foods can help manage your blood pressure, cardiovascular health and regulate your blood sugar. They also help with your weight loss goals because high fiber fruits and vegetables fill you up so that you eat less meat and carbohydrates. Too much protein and carbs can be the ruin for many types of diets because the extra calories are converted to excess sugar and then turns to fat in your body. This is why eating more green veggies (especially green leafy vegetables) and low sugar fruits (like avocados and berries) should be a goal for your weight loss in the 2016 New Year!

Skip Sugary Drinks and Desserts

Consumption of sugar is associated with increased weight, diabetes, heart disease and even cancer. These risks increase in women over the age of 50 and are direct contributors to the climb in child obesity over the years. Sugary drinks and desserts are empty calories that add weight and provide little to no nutrition. Keep this in mind at the end of meals when it's time for dessert. Choose fresh fruit instead of sugary canned fruits; low sugar yogurt (some on the market have under 8g sugar) or frozen kefir bars (only 10g sugar and has 10 Probiotic Cultures) is an awesome substitution for refined sugar ice cream and milkshakes; desserts made with stevia and / or low carb (not using white flour, sugar, etc) will do your body better, too; and creating the habit of drinking tea, with stevia or honey, after meals can help you completely eliminate the urge for dessert, as well as wanting to eating later in the evenings. As for drinks, we all know that water does the body BEST, but sometimes we need to break up water drinking with low caffeine teas, low sugar fruit smoothies (w/ green veggies) and small amounts of freshly made juices. If anything, you can always add some fresh fruits and vegetables to infuse your water with nutrients, as well as add a little flavor. You can find some of these infused recipes by CLICKING HERE! Ditching sugary drinks and desserts will help with your weight loss in the 2016 year. These suggested changes will eventually help you feel satisfied after meals and crave sweet foods and drinks less, though with better consequences for your health.

Change The Order Of Your Meals

Diet experts recommend reversing the order of your meals. Breakfast should be the heartiest meal of the day. Lunch should be slightly less, but enough to fuel you through the day. Dinner should be the lightest meal to suit slower digestion during the night hours and lower energy needs during sleep. Eating light later in the day can also be helpful for anyone troubled by acid reflux when you lie down at night and the quality of your sleep in general, too. Changing the order of your meals is not an easy habit to make, though can really make a difference in your weight loss and health. I've even noticed that some of the raw food vegans I follow online eat their heavier gourmet meals earlier and have a large (maybe huge to us) salad in the evening with a salad dressing made of veggies and citrus. None of them are fat and have few to no health issues. Just saying ...

Dine In, Not Out

Research shows that diners consume more fat, sugar and salt when they eat in a restaurant than they do at home. Restaurant chefs are more concerned with pleasing their patrons' taste buds than managing their weight. You will do a much better with weight management in 2016 if you limit eating out as often, as well as if you control your consumption of these ingredients (fat, sugar, salt) when cooking at home. Invite friends and /or family over to try new recipes (let them cook for you, too). You can also join our Weight Loss Support Group to participate in our weight loss project. This will be a great way to have fun while learning how to cook and eat better; or at least how to limit your calorie intake so that you can lose weight without being hungry.

Cut Out Fried Foods - Eat Healthy Fats

Over the years, there has been plenty of advice and studies about how beneficial good fats are for your diet, weight loss and health. THIS IS TRUE, but for most of us there is still an understanding of proper food portions and calorie intake to keep in mind; even if you're doing the Atkins, Paleo and Ketogenic diet. Protein and fats add up quickly, therefore going over the proper intake for your body can contribute to weight gain, plateau, ketoacidosis or even metabolic acidosis. Frying adds a lot of flavor to foods, but the additional fat makes a significant difference when trying to lose weight. Studies on weight loss for older women show that removing fried food from your diet will help you lose weight faster, keep it off more easily and another benefit is better cardiovascular health. If you are not an older woman, eating less fried foods can be just as healthful for you now and when you are middle age, too. However, if denying yourself fried foods feel too much like a deprivation, then still have them as an occasional treat. But remember that "occasional" should mean "every once in a while" and eat proper portion sizes.

2 Year Skinnyversary | Skinny Fiber Distributor Anniversary

Photo: Gold & Platinum Leader Pins - Skinny Fiber / (SBC) Skinny Body Care Independent Distributor

This month is my 2nd anniversary as a Skinny Fiber Distributor ... My "Skinnyversary" WOO HOO!!! It feels awesome sharing that with you because it's been one more year with this life changing company and working towards long term goals with both customers and other distributors ... even though it doesn't feel like work most time because I enjoy what I do! I am sitting here blown away that I have been here for 2 years ... WOW! So, I thought that I would share some information about my experience with you!

First of all, I NEVER expected to be in a direct sales company none-the-less believe in a product, opportunity and love the people so much that I work with and serve each day. I had given up on finding "the best home business" so many years before becoming a distributor with this company. So many companies that I came across were not legitimate or even long term (they ended up not paying or went out of business). Some legitimate network marketing companies required party planning, local meetings, inventory, ordering more than I needed to make goals, and had really pushy upline mentors that did not reflect the business person that I wanted to be. Thankfully, I didn't have to deal with any of that as a Skinny Fiber Distributor. That opened a whole new world of network marketing for me ... and so many others before / since I've been a distributor with the company.

When, How & Why Did I Become A Skinny Fiber Distributor

I became a Skinny Fiber / Skinny Body Care (SBC) Independent Distributor on July 15, 2012. I had known about the product since the company launched, though did not decide to try Skinny Fiber until my husband asked if I had heard about it. He knew that I wanted to lose weight but couldn't go to a weight loss doctor as I wanted because my blood pressure was high. I turned to God for guidance on whether I should become a distributor or not. I also went back and forth on the pros and cons with my husband. I started feeling compelled to at least try the product ... It ended up not only trying the product - which started to work for me quickly - but became an active distributor, too. I took my Skinny Fiber daily and started drinking 1/2 my weight in ounces of water. I went to all calls and webinars weekly, so that I can learn more about the products and business. I started working my Skinny Fiber Distributor  business for just 1 to 3 hours week (from the comfort of my home). This went on a few months while I kept taking my Skinny Fiber, learning the business and company culture. I increased time and efforts a few months later; quit the work I was doing before joining the company and have been doing this part time with what many would consider a full time income. It has not always been easy, but sure worth the change.

What Do I Like Best About Being A Skinny Fiber Distributor?

This Skinny Fiber business ended up being a blessing! It was an opportunity that didn't require me to jump through hoops to make money and develop professionally. I had been in companies in the past where they always required buying more product for inventory, paying for websites, 3rd party trainings, contact managers, etc; SBC does not push like this. Skinny Fiber Distributors get a virtual office with everything they need to do the business from anywhere, plus ongoing training and support is available daily. The company even ships the products for us, though we have the ability to interact with our own customers - which is awesome - but they provide support to the customers, too. As a result, I now have a career that is much more flexible, fun and rewarding because I am helping people from experience and heart; it's SO MUCH better than the demanding, stressful and exhausting work that I used to do. So many customers have lost weight with Skinny Fiber and the weight loss support; same with the distributors and their accomplishments, too.

What Exactly Do Skinny Fiber Distributors Do?

I think the work is easy and fun to do. In my experience, it is a business that just about anyone can do ... Skinny Fiber distributors basically share information that helps people learn about the product, losing weight and healthy lifestyle changes; most also provide health, food and life tips that can help people, as well as product and weight loss support. The flip side is that distributors also help people start careers with the company and learn what they need to do to reach their goals. It is a very systematic and team driven business. Many feel like this is a family oriented company (not just caring about yours, but also one big family) especially since the owner is hands on and has the motivation that he wants SBC to be the last company people ever want to do. He encourages people to learn how to do well in this business, eliminate debt, create savings, take care of what they need in order to live more stress free and happy. PLUS, HE ALWAYS PAYS THE DISTRIBUTORS fairly according to the compensation plan and ontime!!!

More about me!

This ended up being just what I needed to start losing weight and break away from my lifesucking career choice ... Yes, I could have done something else; I have a college degree and diverse work experience, but neither were permitting the work / life quality I needed to maintain for our family's happiness. I am not talking about the extravagant wants (which are certainly possible for all), but being able to work from home and be there for the kids, provide more than just basic needs and avoid living from check to check, having the ability to make more money if / when needed (not sitting trying to figure out what to do), etc. It has been work, time invested and the need for development, but far much more enjoyable then being stuck in a pay range and on a time clock while wondering if the job security is there or if that is even the place to be. Can you relate?

WOW 2 YEARS ... In one work at home business!!! It just blows me away!
