🍜 HOW TO MAKE A SALAD THAT DOESN'T SUCK 🍜 First let's address why salads cam suck. They can be either A) totally bland and unsatisfying, or B) filled with so many fatty toppings that you end up eating almost a days worth of calories in one meal. But they don't have to be. Follow these steps to up your salad game and make a delicious meal that is still fat loss friendly. Keep in mind that the options are endless, so get creative. 1) Start with whatever lettuce you like. Romaine, butter, mixed greens, arugula etc... Or mix together a few different options. You can also add herbs like cilantro or chives to up the flavour. 2) Adding a variety of colourful veggies, or even some fruit, is a great way to increase the total volume of your salad for very few calories. I love using crunch ones like raw cabbage, carrots, cucumbers or bell peppers to add some extra texture. And one of my favourite tips is to add roasted veggies to the mix. 3) The most important component for turning a salad into a complete meal is including a good amount of protein. If you stick to just veggies, chances are you will still feel hungry after eating. Try getting 100-150 grams of chicken, steak, turkey, tuna, salmon, eggs or tofu. Just make sure it's not fried. 4) using a little bit of fat is a great for adding texture and flavour, as well as keeping you full for longer. Just be careful not to go overboard, as this is where calories can get out of control. Avocado, nuts, a sprinkling of cheese or a little bacon are all fine. I suggest sticking with one source if you're going to add dressing and two if you're going without. 5) After adding everything above, you may find that you don't need dressing, as all the additions add a lot of great textures and flavours. But if you do opt for it, get it on the side rather than drenching it completely, as that will save tons of calories. Bonus tip is to mix temperatures. The contrast of warm meat/tofu or vegetables with with cold, crispy lettuce will make it more satisfying. #ReachYourPeak #AspireActAchieveAdvance #VeeFitness #V12Challenge

☇HOW TO KNOW IF ADDING CARDIO ALONE WILL HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT☇ When you want to lose weight or more accurately lose fat, the go to method for most people is to hit the cardio HARD! It works for some and not for others. Whether it works or not is dependent on one thing and one thing only. Does the increased energy expenditure from performing cardio put you into a calorie deficit? THAT'S IT! The problem of course, even if it works for you, eventually you'll reach a point where the amount of time you need to spend doing cardio, to keep losing fat will not be feasible. So my advice is to exercise for health NOT to burn calories. #ReachYourPeak #AspireActAchieveAdvance #VeeFitness #V12Challenge #6WeeksToFit #8WeekShred

🌟WHAT TO DO WITH INTENSE CONSTANT CRAVINGS🌟 If you feel you are constantly fighting your Inner Food Demon and you're experiencing crazy daily cravings... it can only mean one of two things: 1⃣ You are currently less than 72 hours post-binge. You see, it takes our body a few days to process the junk we put into it. During this time you can experience stronger cravings and the physical symptoms of withdrawal. This I'd relatively easy to solve. Just don't eat junk food for 3 days, no matter what your Inner Saboteur may say No matter how you feel Even if you get a headache Or you're tired Or sad Or bored Or happy Or I'd the scale says the damage "wasn't so bad" No matter what happens - just don't consumers junk food. As long as your Food Plan is nutritionally and calorically complete, that SHOULD take care of the physical cravings within approximately 72 hours. The other problem is a bit more complex. 2⃣ If you haven't binged in a while and your Inner Food Demon STILL constantly demands you fill up on its favourite junk, this means it believes it actually has a good chance of convincing you. Which also means you either don't have a food rule that fully deals with the specific junk your Inner Food Demon is squealing for or you DO have a food rule in place, you just don't WANT to follow it. It's not only your Inner Food Demon that doesn't want you follow it... it's YOU. Because if the Food Demon knew there was NO way it could possibly get you to eat junk, it wouldn't bother screaming! Which means you have to fully commit to change who you are, and how you behave as a person, with regard to that specific junk food. #ReachYourPeak #AspireActAchieveAdvance #VeeFitness #V12Challenge #6WeeksToFit #8WeekShred

📍WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU FEEL HUNGRY📍 Firstly I want to stress, this post is about when you get hungry between meals. Some of these strategies may work for you and some may not. Experiment and find what works for you. 1⃣ Sounds crazy, but ask yourself, are you really hungry? Check in with your body and see how your body feels physically. Quite often, just this action will reveal that you are in fact NOT hungry. In addition, sometimes hunger is triggered by your environment or the situation you're in. Take a step back and take time for introspection. 2⃣ Drinking 1-2+ glasses of water may help because quite often your feeling of hunger may be the result of being dehydrated. 3⃣ Rather than focus on hunger get busy and distract yourself. 4⃣ The chewing action of gum will improve focus and also help with hunger for some people. 5⃣ Snack on celery or cucumber because these are water dense and super low calorie. If it doesn't appeal to you then maybe it's not real hunger. Do I really need to explanation coffee? Tag a friend who's struggling with hunger and give them a little help. #ReachYourPeak #AspireActAchieveAdvance #VeeFitness #V12Challenge #6WeeksToFit #8WeekShred

I wanted to share a quick little tip to help you get back on track after a binge... or even just a little overeating mistake. See, most people don't binge on broccoli. They binge on industrially engineered foods: bags, containers and boxes of things which did NOT exist o the Savannah or in the tropics millions of years ago when humans first appeared. The problem is, these bags, boxes and containers produce and artifical pleasure we are NOT evolutionary prepared to handle. They kind of short-circuit our neurology AND hijack our survival drive. So that instead of craving whole, fresh, natural foods... We THINK we literally can't survive without BIG FOOD's over-engineered food-like substances. (And of course, this is just how they like ti. Because your Inner Food Demon is their best customer!) And right after a binge, your brain is busy rewiring itself to profit those fat cat executives by craving those bags, boxes and containers even more strongly than it did before the binge. But you do NOT have to let this happen! What you CAN do immediately after a binge is feed your body something healthy. And the one thing I've found which the vast majority of diets CAN agree is healthy for us is LEAFY GREEN VEGETABLES. Resist the urge to put in any powders, potions, or supplements. Just blend up the darn thing and drink it down like medicine. You'll likely find yourself immediately more confident in your ability to get back on track! This is because our bodies evolved eating leafy greens, so by introducing them in the middle of the toxic-rewiring of your nurse ology after a binge you are PHYSIOLOGICALLY INTERRUPTING the addictive process. It's really that simple. Oh and you don't have to wait until you have a binge either. If you want to recover from your cravings faster you can do this BEFORE a binge too. #ReachYourPeak #AspireActAchieveAdvance #VeeFitness #V12Challenge #6WeeksToFit #8WeekShred
