Tips for Eating Out (especially on the weekends!)

Tips for Eating Out

Its Friday and I'm sure your weekend is packed full of fun and exciting things. PLAN TO SUCCEED.

To keep from having to stress every time you go out in public to a restaurant or an event here are some tips fromTosca Reno's Stripped book to keep your blood pressure in check!

Planning is best, when you are out you always need a game plan. You should avoid eating out as much as possible because once you enter a restaurant you surrender control over what is in your food.

1. Develop an "I don't have to eat it all!" Mindset. Make up your mind before you go that you don't have to get the most bang for your buck by cleaning your plate. KEEP YOUR GOAL IN MIND.

2. Satisfy hunger only-Don't Gorge. Eat for the purpose of satisfying your hunger, but no more.

3. Start small and green. Start your meal with a salad, without dressing. Use a spritz of lemon or some balsamic vinegar.

4. Broth is best. When there is no salad option have a broth based soup.

5. NO BREAD PLEASE! Remember this is not helping you achieve your weight loss goal.

6. Clean Cooking techniques rock! Look for entree options featuring steamed or raw veggies and grilled, baked or roasted meats or fish. If they aren't listed, ask the server to prepare it that way. Oh and don't always trust the low fat or fat free symbols.

7. Portion control is in. Have a good look at your plate when it arrives. Ask for a doggie bag and split your meal in half.

8. Fletcherize. The practice of chewing each mouthful a min of 25 times. It gives your body a chance to recognize when you are becoming full. (This is very hard to do when you are with kids, because you never know when they have had enough and you will have to leave your meal behind to take the kids out).

9. Zero Tolerance. You want to avoid alcohol because sugar can derail you in the most powerful way. Have sparkling water with lemon or lime slices.

10. Stop before the end. Think of your plan to shed those pounds, if you can't resist something sweet ask for a dish of fresh fruit and leave it at that!

 

If you doubt your ability to resist restaurant offerings then pre-eat! Then when you go to a restaurant or social event you don't have to worry about what's on the menu and you can focus on socializing.

If you can't resist the dessert table then pack a few clean cookies in a Ziploc bag and pull them out with your coffee while everyone else is eating their sugar laden cookies and cake. If you have to go through a drive through, familiarize yourself with the menu. Never super size and make smart food choices by ordering grilled chicken and a side salad. Cut up the chicken and place on salad and go with olive and vinegar dressing or, low fat balsamic.

One of the most difficult things to manage while following a healthy lifestyle is your social life. So surround yourself with family and friends that support what you are doing and are not sabotaging your efforts. Instead of going out drinking or to a restaurant here are some alternatives.

**Meet a friend at the gym

**Have a game night at home with healthy clean snacks

**Batters up- organize a kickball or softball game in your neighborhood or with the kids.

**Volunteer together at a local charity

**Meet at the park for a walk or bike ride

**Take a zumba class with friends

Eating clean and creating a healthy lifestyle doesn't have to mean that you are becoming a boring person. There is so much more to experience than food and drinks! Live outside the box and you will have people wondering what you are doing because your energy and personality are on fire!!!

 

Have a great weekend~

 

12 Ways To Better Eating

12 Ways to Better Eating

People are always trying to lose weight and eat better. Eating better is not easy. The majority of people get frustrated and give up. Sticking to it is easier said than done. Here are some ways to make your eating habits stick!

1. Set Goals: It starts by having clear and realistic goals. Write a list of things you want to change about your diet. Also incorporate goals that you may have regarding your body and plan your diet around those goals. I recommend setting present goals, short term, and long term goals. If you try and do everything all at once you can be overwhelmed and want to quit. Take it one goal at a time if need be, and one day at a time, this isn’t a race. You may also want to write reasons why you want to make a change in your eating habits. You might share your goals with others who will help you meet them. You can put your goals where others can see them “on the fridge, at work” to motivate you to work harder. This will also get others behind you and involved in your new routine. As you achieve your goals, check them off. This will give you a sense of accomplishment and add excitement leading to your next goal.

2. Have Realistic expectations- Any diet plan needs to work with you and not against you. You need to be realistic when setting up the parameters of your new diet. Your plan needs to work for you and your situation. It needs to fit your schedule and your budget. If you don’t follow your budget, your cooking costs will get too high and you will have to withdraw from the diet you set up. If you don’t cook for your schedule and your eating times you will find yourself without food and scrambling to find a healthy choice. So be realistic with time, and give yourself extra time to prepare food, or have food pre-packed. Also know that obstacles can and will come into your path from time to time to derail you and your progress, so don’t think that everything will be easy and will just happen. This takes work.

3. Be Proactive - Make a list of healthy foods you enjoy, and what foods you can take with you to work, in the car, school, etc. You can create entire menus revolving around where you will be at what time of the day. Never give yourself an excuse to not have something available for you to eat, no matter where you are when you are supposed to have a meal. Always keep healthy foods on hand. If you don’t you will probably eat whatever is available at the time whether it be fast food, office treats, etc. This can throw off a diet plan and get you in the habit of making bad food choices and eat whatever is fast and convenient. Know where you will be at what time of the day, when you are open to cook, to eat, to shop for groceries, and plan accordingly. When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

4. Consistency is key - Most people respond well to consistency. Make a plan and stick to it. Try to eat at around the same times daily and keep to the same portion size and caloric intake.. Your body will recognize this pattern and in turn keep your metabolism burning and your energy levels will stay high. You will feel better, and get in a healthy routine. It is easy to sabotage yourself by grabbing nasty snacks to meet uncontrolled cravings. The time you spend on planning and consistency is a true investment that will benefit you for the rest of your life.

5. Be flexible - Of course, even the best plans fall short at times. Life can sometimes get the best of all of us. Sometimes your eating routines need to change. Where you can, try to plan ahead for these events and have items on hand you can take with you when you’re in a rush or are eating out. Example: Bag of almonds, protein bars and shakes, fresh fruit. Also educate yourself on nutrition through the internet, books, and magazines. You can use this knowledge to help you improvise and find foods that are compatible with your diet, for example if you are out with friends or stuck with no time to cook. Find items that are less time consuming that you can take with you in a pinch.

6. Don’t be so hard on yourself - Nobody is perfect all the time. If you mess up, miss a few meals, or even have a bad couple of days, just pick yourself up and get back on track. You’re doing this for you, and the added stress of not living up to your own expectations can lead to a total diet derailment. Being healthy and eating healthy does not mean you can’t enjoy foods not on your meal plan. So don’t be so hard on yourself. YOU CAN DO IT!


7. Stick with your plan - It takes time to develop healthy behaviors. After about a month of eating better consistently, you will have developed a habit. You will find that everything you initially may have had a hard time doing becomes more effortless and be a normal part of your day to day life.

8. Have fun - Eating right takes dedication, commitment and sacrifice. Don’t stress yourself out over small bumps in the road. You have the power to change any negative into a positive, and you have the choice to have a positive outlook regarding any situation you find yourself in. Find fun ways to keep yourself motivated. Get friends and family involved. Set challenges at home, with friends, or at work to start eating healthier. Take the time to cook and try new and interesting recipes. You are making change for the better, so why not make it enjoyable.

9. Give yourself praise - You are not a dog so don’t reward yourself with treats. Realize that changing your eating habits can be a daunting task for anyone. Just think how long you have had your current habits and know that changing those habits will not happen overnight, but with time. Congratulate yourself on any healthy changes you make, you deserve the praise. Praise builds confidence and makes you feel good about the healthy choices you are making, and in turn help keep you on your path to betterment.

10. Don’t rush into this - People always start with the best of intentions and will try and do everything at once. They get overwhelmed and quit before they really even started. Small changes add up and can make a huge difference. Work on one thing at a time and keep adding to it. Before you know it you will have many healthy habits that incorporate together to make a healthy lifestyle and a healthier and happier you.

 

11. Focus on the journey and not the destination - To live a healthy lifestyle is never easy. In order to enjoy this lifestyle with all the ups and downs, we must enjoy the process and the journey on the way to our destination. Once we hit our destination we immediately look to the next mountain top and we either want more, or worst case scenario we think that we have accomplished all we need to and we relax on all of the things that got us there in the first place. Take pride in small victories along the way, they add up.


12. Measure Success and Set New Goals: Making successful changes means measuring your progress towards your goals and recognizing your accomplishments. As you meet short-term goals, you can plan the next steps with more confidence. Constantly re-strategizing your goals takes long-term visualization. That long-term vision needs to be broken down into doable steps.

I am loving this yummy chicken sandwich that I found!! I seriously love chicken and avocado, I mean, who doesn't?! Check it out!! Seriously delicious!

Key West Chicken-Avocado Sandwiches

Ditch your old sandwich standby and pack a lunch with real flavor. Whole grains, healthy proteins, and tummy-trimming ingredients make this a healthy and filling meal.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

1 c mashed Florida avocado (MUFA), about 1 med
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed limejuice (about 1/2 lime)

1 mango, peeled, pitted, and sliced (about 1 c)
4 sm whole grain rolls (2 oz each), split

Directions

1. Combine avocado, lime juice, and green pepper sauce, if using, in small bowl. Spread top and bottom halves of rolls with 2 tablespoons each of the avocado-lime mixture.

Cookie Mint Shakeology

Chocolate Shakeology tastes delicious all by itself. Sometimes I forget how healthy it really is for me! It is a multi-vitamin, pre/probiotic and 6 salads all in one! And the best part---once scoop is only 140 calories!

Sometimes I like to whip up some yummy flavors because I have a serious sweet tooth! I have been seeing posts for the sale of Girl Scout Cookies, which are delicious, but not very nutritious. Here is a way to enjoy the flavor without any of the guilt!

Interested in seeing what Shakeology can do for you? It is 30 days risk free! Check out my website www.shakeology.com/allieluden or email me at allie.luden@gmail.com to talk more!

My 3 Day Refresh Experience

To be honest, I was a little bit skeptical. I am SO NOT into cleanses. People that juice and do cleanses, more power to you! This girl likes to chew on food!! Anyway, I did this refresh because it was just that, a refresh. It was a way to kick start my health. If you want more information on the program specifically, here it is: http://allieluden.blogspot.com/2014/06/3-day-refresh.html  

I prepared all of my food for the 3 days ahead of time. That way I could just grab it and eat it and not be tempted to eat anything else. I stuck with it for the entire 3 days and did not feel hungry at all. I really learned that sometimes I just "felt" like eating and I wasn't really hungry.

The main 2 components (besides the shakeology, of course) were the Vanilla Fresh shakes and the fiber sweep. The vanilla fresh shakes were actually pretty good with some ice and cinnamon mixed in. I put some lemon juice in my fiber sweep and drank quickly and that was fine too.

I couldn't believe when I stepped on the scale and saw my results. Those elusive teen numbers were finally here! I did this a few months ago and didn't want to post about it until I knew that the weight was not going to come rushing right back on. Surprisingly, it didn't! Even through some stress-induced eating "fixes" I have still maintained this weight for 6 weeks.

      Starting Weight: 123.2                       Ending Weight: 119.4

If you are trying to lose a few pounds and get your eating on track, this is totally the way to do it! I am going to be starting a 30 day support group that will be kicked off by the 3 Day Refresh. Message me on Facebook or send me an email at allie.luden@gmail.com to be added to the group.

Almond Joy Shakeology

Halloween and all that candy is approaching...so glad to have a few yummy recipes up my sleeve. Here is a candy-inspired one!

Clean Eating Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream

Clean Eating Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream

I was super excited to run across this recipe! I love any kind of treat that doesn't have dairy in it (due to allergies). This is healthy for you, but probably won't be once I eat the whole container of it!! :) I love fall and pumpkin-flavored goodies!

21 Day Fix

YES, YES, YES! The 21 Day Fix truly does live up to the hype. It is such a simple concept, but this takes all the guesswork and counting calories out of the eating plan. It will truly change how you think about eating and portion sizes, even of healthy food. Here are pictures for two days of breakfast, lunch and 2 snacks. Look at all that food!

The program guide tells you exactly how many of each container to eat each day and you plan from there!

The workouts are all around 30 minutes and are fun! They are easy to follow and there is a modifier for all moves to help lower intensity if you need it. There are 7 different workouts to follow. They are Total Body Cardio Fix, Upper Fix, Lower Fix, Pilates, Cardio Fix, Dirty 30 and Yoga Fix.

I have seen such great results personally with this program. I lost 6 pounds and several inches doing this program. I have seen my challengers lose anywhere from 6-15 pounds. The up to 15 pounds in 21 days is FOR REAL!

 Here is a great video to learn more.

My Beachbody Transformation

Now I do not have some crazy, awesome story that I lost 100 pounds and ran a marathon, but I can imagine that I would feel the same way as I do now!
THE DREADED PREGNANCY WEIGHT (that lasted way too long)
I had always been fit, active, thin and truly had the perfect body. Then I got pregnant for the first time in 2005. I gained 46 pounds. I seriously was so clueless that I couldn't just eat whatever I wanted. I was SHOCKED when after I had my son that my stomach still looked 7 months pregnant. I just couldn't believe what had happened. I ended up losing about 25 pounds when at 5 months of age, SURPRISE! I found out I was pregnant again. I did so much better with this pregnancy, but still had a lot of weight to lose. Over the next few years, I would go down and up, but always stayed about 15 pounds heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight. Then, of course, I got pregnant with number 3. It was a horribly rough, sick pregnancy and I gained close to 50 pounds. I tried over the next 3 years to lose weight with some success.
THE SICKNESS
In 2012, I went back to work. I ended up being in a classroom that had mold in it. I have never been so sick in my life. I was so so sick all the time. Sinus infections, episodes of vomiting violently, being dizzy/faint, etc. I went down to 125 pounds, but I was sick. I was barely eating, could hardly exercise and when I did I felt terrible.
THE RECOVERY
During the summer, I went to see a Naturopath doctor and was finally on the way to feeling better. I transferred schools and was in a different classroom and felt so much better. The bad news was with feeling better the weight came creeping back on.
THE WEIGHT GAIN
I wasn't feeling sick and ate whatever I wanted. I had a check up at the doctor in December of 2013. I weighed 140 pounds and had high cholesterol. Even though I didn't feel sick anymore, I felt terrible. I was so tired all the time. I was trying to buy clothes to conceal my belly. I felt like I had to make it a point that I was not trying to get pregnant and that I was not pregnant, so that no one would "guess" that I was.
TIME TO TAKE ACTION
I had lots of things before, but what I truly lacked was accountability. I signed up as a Beachbody Coach and joined a challenge group for T25 that started January 6. I stuck with it because I had other people that were doing it too! From there I did the 21 Day Fix program and then finally P90X3. The results took until August 26. It didn't happen overnight. There were times when I threw in the towel, ate terribly for days, but I got back on the saddle and kept going. At the end of those programs I weighed 119 pounds. 5 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight in 2005! The most important thing is I am healthy and strong! I have energy and I actually LIKE to buy clothes now because I can just choose what I like, not what is most concealing to my problem areas.

I couldn't even find a picture of me at my heaviest. I did NOT want to be in any pictures. My kids will think for years that I wasn't even there based on the pictures, which is SO sad. I now jump in the pictures and feel good knowing that I am a good example for all three of my kids!

Do you wish that you could do it? YOU CAN. Email me at allie.luden@gmail.com to start your journey.

So you ordered Shakeology...now what???

Some tips for starting off with Shakeology

Shakeology. 

I know for me, I royally screwed up the first few of them!

Watch this video and really embrace the importance of making sure you drink it every day! It’s crazy the amount of nutrition you get and the impact it is going to have on your health too!

My tips: Don't use just 8 oz of liquid unless you like it thicker.

I use at least 12 to 14 oz.

Almond milk and make sure its unsweetened.

Cut it with water

ice

1/2 banana for smoothness

Almond butter or all natural pb give it a smooth creamy texture and blend!!!

If you have tummy troubles due to the change in diet increase in fiber make sure you are drinking plenty of water and possibly do 3/4 scoop until your body gets adjusted! It's normal to experience changes; it will stop after 2 weeks!

Why Shakeology?

Why Shakeology???

I get this question A LOT.  

When you talk to me about your journey, you will hear me talk a lot about SHAKEOLOGY!! WHY?!?! Because it is BY FAR, "the healthiest meal of the day!" No, not because I am a coach and sell it, because I have been hooked way before I even became a beach body coach! It is because out of any other product of meal replacement shakes or post meal shakes I have used in the past, NO other shake has
the nutrients of shakeology, nor do they actually lower your blood pressure, 
cholesterol, help improve the way your digestive system functions, or give you the energy that SHAKEOLOGY does! Yes, you heard me right!! People have literally gotten their medications reduced, and even been taken off of their medications because these shakes are that effective!! That is some amazing results.

Now I want to talk about the excuse many people use when they are debating on purchasing it... it cost too much money... well to be honest, I used to use that as an excuse! I had paid money for beachbody programs already, I had lots of other expenses with three kids and the list goes on. So I decided to try it and I figured, you know what, SHAKEOLOGY has a bottom of the bad guarantee. If I do not like it in 30 days, I'm getting my money back.. After my 30 days, I was completely IN LOVE!!! Sorry if you guys are using the whey protein by GNC, Jillian Michaels, any weight watchers protein, slim fast, etc., they do NOT compare!!

If you want to compare cost wise, yes it does cost slightly more, BUT think about the ingredients and nutrition you get out of it before you turn your head. SHAKEOLOGY includes 1 shot of wheat grass.. did you know if you go buy a shot of wheat grass, you're already at $4?? Did I also mention, you get your daily serving of fruits AND veggies all in one serving?! Getting your veggies in is so hard for some people (I'm one of these people) because to be honest, they do not taste as good as junk food. But you need to think about how healthy it is and what they do for your body!
You no longer need to spend the extra money on multivitamins... do you know why??!! You get it all in ONE SHAKE!! You drink these shakes, improve your health,
guess what?!? You can also stop spending any extra money on medications!! Hmm I'm pretty sure with what I have just said alone, your cost of SHAKEOLOGY is now not that costly.

Now lets talk about this meal to other meals you may purchase... Please, if you eat at fast food restaraunts, lose the excuse of the cost, because you lost!!! Go to the drive through at any other restaraunt and buy a meal.... you will pay MORE than you would a shake, plus you do not get the nutrition, although you will get more calories!!! So you make the choice...How important is your nutrition and health?!?

Shakeology-The Healthiest Meal of the Day

Shakeology- Healthiest Meal of The Day

Shakeology is a meal replacement shake not just a protein shake.It actually is the equivalent of 6 salads in one meal.It has the proper carb to protein ratio that your food should have to keep you full for at least 2 1/2 to 3 hours.It also helps to curb my sweet tooth, is quick and convenient, helps give me a natural burst of energy, and a bonus I lose weight.I like the fact that it's one meal that I do not have to think about!Chocolate is by far my favorite.You can replace any meal with a shake.It's all natural and nothing processed.You can literally go to the grocery story and buy every ingredient in the shakeology!! :)
