Tips From The Westcoast
As you get further and further into a new fitness and diet regime it become easier and easier to go back to old habits. That extra bite of cake doesn't seem to be as forbidden anymore, and measuring foods starts to get tedious. A couple weeks ago I found myself at this point in my diet. In my lifestyle. I needed some revamping. Recently many studies about milk have come up linking milk to weight loss. Studies have suggested that even if you consume more calories each day (from milk and milk proiducts) you will not gain weight. Milk has also been linked to being great for wiltling wasitlines, as it helps melt down abdominal fat. So seeing as I like to think of my body as a science expirement I have started substituting milk for half of the amount of egg whites I would have in the morning. Not only does this lower the overall caloric total off my eggs (from 120 to 100) but it also incorperates some more milk into my diet. I must say I have already noticed a difference, My waist has gone down an inch already (where I didn't even think I had fat to lose) and I feel just as energized. The only problem for me is that my body doesn't usually like milk products, as rejects them, but, i have found that mixing them in with other foods has helped me tolerate them more as well as kept me from feeling too ill.
Swaps to Try:
>1/2 cup of skim milk+1/2 cup eggs whites instead of 1 cup of egg whites
>boiling 1/2 cup of milk with 1/2 cup of tomatoe sauce (gives sauce a creamy taste without all the calories) Intead of 1 cup tomatoe sauce or one cup creamy sauce.
>Venti Non-Fat Sugar Free Latte (flavour of your choice) for less than 100 calories rather than a Frapp of approx. equal calories.
Seeing results again helps keep me motivated to stay on track. And there's nothing wrong with getting a little more calcium in my diet :)
